Squad

A fracture rules José Ferrer out for 61 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Estudiantes de Caracas will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Market

Oscar Gonzalez hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Estudiantes de Caracas can pretend not to have heard.

Squad

Jair Andara in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Estudiantes de Caracas this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Words at Estudiantes de Caracas training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. José Ferrer is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Squad

When it matters, Richard Ramirez plays

It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.

Squad

Tempers go at Estudiantes de Caracas

Francisco Moreno 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.

Squad

Richard Arango named in the team of the month

A month is long enough that nobody gets in by accident. Richard Arango is in the division's best eleven for it, which is a quieter compliment than an award and a more reliable one.

Market

Oscar Gonzalez asks to leave Estudiantes de Caracas

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Market

Estudiantes de Caracas turn down Atromitos for David Martinez

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Tempers go at Estudiantes de Caracas

Squad

Victor Soteldo 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.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Victor Soteldo

Successful dribbles: 34. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Match

The small margins put Estudiantes de Caracas out

Out, 2‑3 to Zamora, and the long argument about which of the small moments decided it. The league is all there is now, and everybody knows it.

Market

Central Coast Mariners come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Estudiantes de Caracas did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Player ratings

A brace, and Richard Ramirez takes the afternoon — 7.95

There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Richard Ramirez provided it, and the 7.95 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

Squad

A one-man rearguard from David Martinez

There were 7 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Match

4 matches without a win for Estudiantes de Caracas

The run now stands at 4, and the questions being asked around Estudiantes de Caracas are no longer polite ones.

Squad

Jair Andara in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Estudiantes de Caracas this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match

Mineros de Guayana take the points off Estudiantes de Caracas

Beaten 0‑2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Squad

Cristian Rosales signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Cristian Rosales commits to Estudiantes de Caracas for another 3 years.

Match

Carabobo take the points off Estudiantes de Caracas

Beaten 0‑1, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Squad

No hiding place for Juan Figueroa

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Juan Figueroa, and the manager let it.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Miguel Lemos

Successful dribbles: 14. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Market

Talks stall between Estudiantes de Caracas and Victor Rosales

“We are a long way apart, and pretending otherwise helps nobody.” Neither side is close, and the calendar is not on the club's side.

Market

Estudiantes de Caracas shop where it costs nothing

Héctor Bello signs, and the fee column stays empty. Deals like this look small in July and clever by March — or they are never mentioned again.

Market

Estudiantes de Caracas pick up José Ferrer for nothing

The best deals are the ones the accountants never notice. José Ferrer arrives at Estudiantes de Caracas with his wages the only cost and something to prove the only clause.
