Market

Leonel Chavanne asks to leave Quilmes

“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.

Squad

Matías Vilalta is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 19 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.

Squad

Raúl Lozano in a row with a teammate

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

Market

Jeremías Coronel asks to leave Quilmes

“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.

Match

4 matches without a win for Quilmes

The run now stands at 4, and the questions being asked around Quilmes are no longer polite ones.

Match

4 matches without a goal for Quilmes

The chances are being made and something is happening between the making and the finishing. 4 matches now, and the anxiety in the ground arrives a little earlier every week.

Squad

Tempers go at Quilmes

Axel Batista 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

Raúl Lozano 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.

Match

A bad afternoon for Quilmes against Güemes

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

Squad

No hiding place for David Ledesma

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

Player ratings

José Barreto runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 12. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad

Quilmes pick somebody else ahead of Julián Correa

There is no complaint available here and everybody involved knows it, which does not make the walk to the bench any shorter. Form is the only currency in football that cannot be borrowed against.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Ulises Vera

Successful dribbles: 44. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Market

Thiago Santi asks to leave Quilmes

“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

Slovacko join the queue for Alexis Domínguez

Add another name to the list: Slovacko have asked the question everybody in the game has been asking about Alexis Domínguez. The answer from Quilmes has not changed — yet.

Market

Quilmes say no — this time

The offer from Académico de Viseu for Esteban Glellel was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Squad

8 seasons of David Ledesma

113 appearances across 8 seasons in these colours. Careers like that are not built any more, and Quilmes know what they have.

Market

Quilmes may not be able to give Ramiro Luna what he wants

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

Squad

Gonzalo Marinelli signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Gonzalo Marinelli commits to Quilmes for another 2 years.

Squad

Aaron Spetale in a row with a teammate

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

Squad

Words at Quilmes training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Gonzalo Marinelli 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.
