Squad

Christian Flores damages knee ligaments — 110 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 110 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Squad

Tempers go at Mineros de Guayana

Rubert Quijada was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Agustín Pérez

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Squad

Ángelo Peña stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Ángelo Peña and Mineros de Guayana agree another 2 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad

Words exchanged at Mineros de Guayana

Ángelo Peña and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Match

Mineros de Guayana come up short against Carabobo

Carabobo left with the points after a 0‑2 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Squad

Ángel Peñaranda falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Market

Nobody at Mineros de Guayana has picked up the phone to Tomás Zamora

49 months to run and not a word offered. A club that lets the calendar negotiate for it usually ends up losing to the calendar.

Squad

Mineros de Guayana are still strangers to each other

15 new signings in one window. Every one may be an upgrade and the side can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild the verdicts never mention.

The dugout

Victor Machis answers for it

“The supporters are entitled to be angry. So am I. We will put it right.” 0‑2, a manager saying the necessary things, and a dressing room that heard a different version of them.

Player ratings

José Castellano was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 13. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

Looking ahead

A reunion for Ángelo Peña

He used to wear the other shirt. On Saturday he plays against Caracas in this one, and whatever he says this week about it being just another game will be untrue.
