From our football correspondent Uneasy

The dugout

Fernando Cosciuc keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Argentino de Quilmes may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Market

Martiniano Compagnucci has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Argentino de Quilmes they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Boardroom

Martiniano Compagnucci has agreed to leave Argentino de Quilmes for nothing

He will play here until the summer and then walk out of the door for free, having already signed elsewhere. Supporters will manage the first part of that sentence; it is the second they will struggle with.

Squad

Words exchanged at Argentino de Quilmes

Leandro Guzmán and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

The terraces

The crowd has taken to Dayro Peña

At 22 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.

Match

At last: Argentino de Quilmes win one

5 matches without a win, and then this, against Deportivo Laferrere. Relief is a strange noise in a football ground and it was the only noise at the end.

Match

Argentino de Quilmes get the job done against Deportivo Laferrere

A 1‑0 win over Deportivo Laferrere, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Marcelo Vega

“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.

Player ratings

Dayro Peña beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 16. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

In brief

From our football correspondent Uneasy

The dugout

Marcelo Vega: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Argentino de Quilmes have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Match

No end in sight to Argentino de Quilmes's wait for a win

5 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Argentino de Quilmes has to find a result from somewhere.

Squad

Words exchanged at Argentino de Quilmes

Franco Sosa and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Squad

Words at Argentino de Quilmes training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Enzo Zárate 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

Eduardo Pérez steps up from the Argentino de Quilmes academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Eduardo Pérez 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.

Market

Bautista Moreno steps up from the Argentino de Quilmes academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Bautista Moreno 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.

Player ratings

Enzo Zárate takes the honours

Marked 7.28 on an afternoon he ran from the first whistle to the last. Whatever else went wrong, Argentino de Quilmes had the best player on the pitch.

Market

Still no ink between Argentino de Quilmes and Dayro Peña

“We keep meeting, and we keep leaving the room with the same numbers we walked in with.” Another round of talks at Argentino de Quilmes, another week without a signature from Dayro Peña.

The dugout

Raúl Lombardi on the point

“A point is a point and I will take it, but we should have had all three.” Raúl Lombardi after the 0‑0 draw, and the sentence every manager in the country said at some stage this weekend.

In brief
