The Deportivo Lara Herald
Match19 Aug 2026
Deportivo Lara bow out of the cup
Estudiantes de Merida go through and Deportivo Lara go home, 1‑2 the scoreline that did it. The dressing room will call the league the priority now, because that is what dressing rooms say.
Market24 Aug 2026
Adriangel Torrealba has one foot out of the door
Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Deportivo Lara they have already started talking about him in the past tense.
Boardroom24 Aug 2026
Adriangel Torrealba has agreed to leave Deportivo Lara for nothing
He will play here until the summer and then walk out of the door for free, having already signed elsewhere. Supporters will manage the first part of that sentence; it is the second they will struggle with.
Squad24 Aug 2026
Tempers go at Deportivo Lara
Franco Carretero 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.
Boardroom24 Aug 2026
Deportivo Lara beat the market to Beycker Velásquez from Zamora
Zamora will keep picking him until June and will get nothing for him after it. Beycker Velásquez has pre-agreed a move to Deportivo Lara, and the only people who lose in that arrangement are the ones who let the contract run down.
The dugout24 Aug 2026
The view from the dugout
“We will look at it, we will learn from it, and we go again.” The three sentences every manager keeps for a 1‑2 defeat, delivered by Cristian Murillo to a room that had heard them before.
Squad24 Aug 2026
Junior Ramirez stays put
“The easiest signature of my career.” Junior Ramirez and Deportivo Lara agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.
Player ratings24 Aug 2026
Johan Arrieche beats them one at a time
Successful dribbles: 14. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.
The dugout24 Aug 2026
Jacobo Kouffati does not fit this one
Ninety specific minutes wanted a different sort of player, and the manager picked one. He is not out of form and he is not in the side, and both are true.
In brief
- The dugout Luis Annese gets picked when it counts
- The dugout Matías Draghi knocks on the manager’s door
- Market The Franco Carretero talk will not go away
