Market

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.

Market

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 dugout

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.

Market

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.

Squad

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.

Market

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.

The dugout

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 dugout

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.

Squad

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.

Market

Gabriel Fuentes 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 Anzoátegui can pretend not to have heard.

Squad

Tempers go at Anzoátegui

Juan Silgado 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

Antony Velasco 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.

Squad

A step back for Abrahan Moreno at Anzoátegui

Somebody has moved past him. It is not a dropping and it is worse than one, because a dropping is about a Saturday and this is about where he stands.

Market

Talks stall between Anzoátegui and Guillermo Marín

“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.

Squad

A promotion for Luis González

Not a new contract, not a new number: a new place in the manager’s thinking, which is the only promotion in football that actually matters. Luis González has moved up it.

In brief
