Squad

Iván Pérez 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.

The dugout

Iván Pérez gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

The dugout

César Horst has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Durazno will say this on the record and the team sheets have been saying it for weeks. There is a small group in every squad who get picked when the fixture is difficult, and he has joined it.

Squad

Tempers go at Durazno

Iván Pérez 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

A row about effort at Durazno

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Agustín Rodríguez was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

The dugout

Junior Silva has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Durazno will say this on the record and the team sheets have been saying it for weeks. There is a small group in every squad who get picked when the fixture is difficult, and he has joined it.

Gastón Alvite 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.

One of our own: Camilo Rossi joins the Durazno first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Camilo Rossi is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Market

Jonathan De Arrascaeta steps up from the Durazno academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Jonathan De Arrascaeta has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

Squad

The decline has begun for Alejandro Alfonso

Everybody saw it before anybody said it. At 37 the numbers say 3 points down on what he was, and the question for Durazno is how to handle a man they owe a great deal.

The dugout

César Horst 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 César Horst is on it.

Market

Experience through the door at Durazno

Iván Pérez arrives at 36 with nothing left to prove and plenty left to pass on. Legs are a young man's currency; knowing where to stand never ages.
