From our football correspondent Upbeat

Squad

Damián Pizarro keeps the receipts

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

Market

Bruno Zuculini 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 The request is on a desk at Racing Club, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad

Alfonso Espino 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 Racing Club this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Market

Portuguesa join the queue for Daniel Herrera

Add another name to the list: Portuguesa have asked the question everybody in the game has been asking about Daniel Herrera. The answer from Racing Club has not changed — yet.

Loan watch

Tomás Pérez wants to come home

“I did not go to Lanús to sit and watch. I want to come back to Racing Club and fight for my place.” 3 appearances in 27 matches say the rest.

Squad

Tomás Conechny asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

Market

The Matko Miljevic question follows Racing Club around

Every press conference now starts and ends the same way: with Matko Miljevic’s future. The manager has run out of new ways to say nothing.

Squad

A season on the outside for Brayan León

He trains hard, says the right things and goes home to an empty flat. Nobody at Racing Club has done anything wrong, which is exactly what makes it so difficult to fix.

Market

The shop window has Francisco González Metilli in it

Racing Club have let the market know Francisco González Metilli can be had. No price in the advert, but everyone in the trade knows roughly what it says.

From our football correspondent Crisis

Market

Román Zalazar asks to leave Nueva Chicago

“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

Tempers go at Nueva Chicago

Dylan Gissi 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.

Market

Nueva Chicago sell Tiziano Pasquarelli for $290.0K

Tiziano Pasquarelli has left for Liverpool Montevideo in a $290.0K deal. The accountants are pleased; the supporters are less certain.

Match

Godoy Cruz take the points off Nueva Chicago

Beaten 2‑3, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Squad

No hiding place for Dylan Gissi

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

Player ratings

One of those days for Lucas Ambrogio

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.78, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Player ratings

Evelio Cardozo runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 18. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Player ratings

A masterclass from Diego Barros

Marked 8.11 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.

Squad

Alan Ruiz is carrying Nueva Chicago

3 goals and a season average of 7.23. Form like that gets noticed well beyond this town.

Market

Catriel Monochio 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 Nueva Chicago, and it is not being withdrawn.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Lucas Ambrogio

Successful dribbles: 27. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad

Dylan Gissi 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 Nueva Chicago this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match

Evelio Cardozo’s goal not enough for Nueva Chicago

Evelio Cardozo scored, and precious little else went right: 2‑3 to Almirante Brown, and a quiet walk to the dressing room.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Alan Ruiz

“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

One of those days for Evelio Cardozo

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.16, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Boardroom

114% of the income goes out in wages at Nueva Chicago

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.

Player ratings

A costly moment from Alan Ruiz

One lapse, one goal, and ninety minutes of honest work counting for nothing. That is the job at Nueva Chicago, and it is a cruel one.

Squad

Evelio Cardozo finally opens his account

He wheeled away like a man who had been carrying it for months, because he had. Nueva Chicago have their signing off the mark and one press-conference question retired.

In brief

From our football correspondent Upbeat

Player ratings

Dylan Gissi shuts the door

Defensive actions: 29, and a clean sheet at the end of it. A centre-half's best afternoons look like nothing happening, which is precisely the point.

Player ratings

Alan Ruiz runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 28. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Player ratings

A defender's afternoon for Rodrigo Ramírez

Defensive actions: 26. He was first to everything and second to nothing, and the goalkeeper had an easy day because of it.

Match

8 unbeaten for Nueva Chicago

Hard to beat is not the same as winning, but 8 matches without defeat is a foundation Nueva Chicago did not have in the autumn.

Squad

Dylan Gissi 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 Nueva Chicago this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Player ratings

Nothing got past Emiliano Méndez

Headers, blocks, tackles, interceptions — 20 of them, and not one goal behind him. The sort of performance that never makes a highlight reel and wins football matches.

Match

Nueva Chicago see off Mitre

Three points for Nueva Chicago, 1‑0 the final word against Mitre in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Squad

Diego Barros 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.

Market

Nueva Chicago put Catriel Monochio up for sale

The list is a quiet document with a loud meaning. Catriel Monochio may talk to anybody who asks, and everybody at the club understands what that means.

In brief
