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

Words at Bogota training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Kevin Castro 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.
Every club in football pays most of what it earns to its players. Paying nearly all of it is a different arrangement, and it has ended the same way every time somebody has tried it.

“Thirty minutes, door closed, everything said. We shook hands after.” Whatever was in the room stayed in the room, and Juan Alberto Sánchez trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.

There is a figure at which a wage bill stops being ambitious and becomes the reason nothing else is possible, and this club has reached it. Nothing is left over for a transfer, a stand or a rainy afternoon.

The standards have slipped, and in a building where everybody watches everybody it has not gone unremarked. This is how a player loses a place before he loses one.
Out, 0‑1 to Independiente Medellin, and the long argument about which of the small moments decided it. The league is all there is now, and everybody knows it.

A first appearance Luis Millán will want to forget — 5.44
Everybody's debut is one of two stories and this was the other one. 5.44, and the only consolation available is that nobody's career has ever been decided by ninety minutes in a shirt he had just been given.

48 months left and silence from upstairs — no offer, no talks, nothing for his people to answer. Clubs that let a calendar do their negotiating usually end up negotiating with the calendar.
“We keep meeting, and we keep leaving the room with the same numbers we walked in with.” Another round of talks at Bogota, another week without a signature from Juan Camilo Moreno.
“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Bogota, and both men came out saying it was fine.
