Market

Diego Romero 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 Liverpool Montevideo can pretend not to have heard.

Market

Diego Romero has one foot out of the door

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

Squad

Renzo Machado signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Renzo Machado commits to Liverpool Montevideo for another 4 years.

Match

The cup run ends for Liverpool Montevideo

1-1 against Juventud, and the road stops here. Cup exits are quick deaths — no second leg, no next week, just the league from now until May.

Squad

Martín Campaña decides it from twelve yards

1 kept out in the shoot-out, and a stadium that will still be describing them in twenty years. A goalkeeper only needs one of these to be remembered forever.

Match

4 matches without a win for Liverpool Montevideo

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

Match

6 unbeaten for Liverpool Montevideo

Hard to beat is not the same as winning, but 6 matches without defeat is a foundation Liverpool Montevideo did not have in the autumn.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Renzo Machado

“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

Liverpool Montevideo draw a blank against Cerro Largo

The crowd waited for a goal that never came. Cerro Largo defended in numbers and left with what they came for, and the two sides could be playing still without troubling a scorer.

Squad

Facundo Butti: 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.” Liverpool Montevideo have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Squad

Guilherme Guedes stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Guilherme Guedes and Liverpool Montevideo agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Match

Liverpool Montevideo get the job done against Penarol

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

Squad

Rubén Bentancourt 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.

Squad

Ramiro Degregorio finally opens his account

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

Squad

Francisco Coirolo says Liverpool Montevideo went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Match

4 matches without a win for Liverpool Montevideo

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

Match

Liverpool Montevideo come up short against Racing

Racing left with the points after a 1-2 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.
