Squad

Tempers go at Almirante Brown

Facundo Quignón 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

Leonardo Jara 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.

Boardroom

Wages swallow 211% of the Almirante Brown income

Every club 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 it has been tried.

The dugout

No hiding place for Máximo Levi

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Máximo Levi, and the manager let it.

Squad

The armband comes off Franco Almanza

Almirante Brown will explain it as a decision about the team, and it may well be one. A dressing room has never once read it that way.

Market

No place for Ariel Imperial in the plan

“The manager did not use many words, and he did not need to.” Ariel Imperial has his answer from Almirante Brown; what he does with it is the next window’s story.

The dugout

Enzo Cardozo has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Almirante Brown 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.

Market

The Gonzalo Flores talk will not go away

Another week, another link, another denial nobody quite believes. Almirante Brown know the market decides these things, not the back pages — but the back pages are louder.

The dugout

Franco Almanza knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Almirante Brown, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Market

Facundo Quignón puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Almirante Brown, and it is not being withdrawn.

The dugout

Nazareno Bazán Vera: 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.” Almirante Brown have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Boardroom

Eric Tovo signs for Gimnasia La Plata while still at Almirante Brown

The rules permit it and it stings anyway. Eric Tovo has agreed terms with Gimnasia La Plata for the summer, and until then he pulls on this shirt as a player who has already chosen his next one.

Market

Eric Tovo has one foot out of the door

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

Squad

Words exchanged at Almirante Brown

Facundo Quignón 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 Almirante Brown training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Leonardo Jara 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.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Gastón Moreyra

“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

Santiago Garro is free to find somewhere else

“I was told straight, and I would rather have it straight.” The manager at Almirante Brown has been clear about where Santiago Garro stands, which is more than many ever get.

Market

The Gastón Moreyra talk will not go away

Another week, another link, another denial nobody quite believes. Almirante Brown know the market decides these things, not the back pages — but the back pages are louder.

From our football correspondent Crisis

Squad

Bruno Galván stands alone

9 saves, and a scoreline the ten men in front of him had no right to. Goalkeepers only get noticed on the bad days; this was one of the other ones.

Market

Santiago Gauna puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Almirante Brown, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad

A falling-out at Almirante Brown

Leonardo Jara and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Market

Almirante Brown may not be able to give Agustín Dattola what he wants

It is the most legitimate ambition in the sport and the hardest for most clubs to satisfy. Agustín Dattola wants continental football; whether Almirante Brown can provide it is a question about the next two seasons, not about him.

Squad

A row about effort at Almirante Brown

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

Match

A bad afternoon for Almirante Brown against Colón

0‑1 to Colón, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

The dugout

No hiding place for Santiago Gauna

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Santiago Gauna, and the manager let it.

Squad

27 new faces, and Almirante Brown are still learning each other

A squad rebuilt inside one window pays for it in a currency nobody budgets for. The football is not worse than the sum of the players; it is worse than the sum of the players who have played together before.

The dugout

The view from the dugout

“We will look at it, we will learn from it, and we go again.” The three sentences every manager keeps for a 0‑1 defeat, delivered by José Aguirre to a room that had heard them before.

Market

Facundo Quignón 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 Almirante Brown can pretend not to have heard.

Market

Not going: Bruno Miño stays at Almirante Brown

“I know what people will say. I know what I want, and it is here.” Pyunik had the fee agreed and the shirt ready; they did not have the player, and now they will not.

Squad

Tempers go at Almirante Brown

Leonardo Jara 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

Words at Almirante Brown training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Facundo Quignón 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

One of our own: Carlos Villalba joins the Almirante Brown first team

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

Market

Bautista González steps up from the Almirante Brown academy

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

Match

Chacarita Juniors snatch it back from Almirante Brown

A goal on 94 minutes turned three points into one and a good afternoon into an argument about game management that will run until Saturday.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Máximo Levi

“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.

Match

Almirante Brown share the spoils with Chacarita Juniors

A 1‑1 draw with Chacarita Juniors leaves the dressing room somewhere between relief and regret.
