Guillermo Marín asks to leave Anzoátegui
“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.

Guillermo Marín is on his way
The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Anzoátegui is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

The manager makes an example of Edanyilber Navas
“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.

One of our own: Fernando Machis joins the Anzoátegui first team
Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Fernando Machis is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Words at Anzoátegui training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Antony Velasco 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.

Still no ink between Anzoátegui and Lisandro Pérez
“We keep meeting, and we keep leaving the room with the same numbers we walked in with.” Another round of talks at Anzoátegui, another week without a signature from Lisandro Pérez.

Josué Agüero gets picked when it counts
Every manager keeps a short list in his head of the men he wants on the pitch when the stakes rise, and it is never published. The team sheets for the big afternoons say Josué Agüero is on it.

The manager makes Luis González a promise
Nothing in writing and nothing in public: a word about playing time, given face to face at Anzoátegui. The team sheets over the next month will show whether it was worth having.

A wage question at Anzoátegui
Henry Plazas has done the arithmetic and does not like the answer. Nothing corrodes a squad faster, and no club has ever solved it by explaining the wage structure to a footballer.
In brief
- Squad The penny has dropped for Luis González
- The dugout The manager comes out for José Lovera
