Market

Valentín Aguiñagalde 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 Temperley can pretend not to have heard.

Market

Leandro Lucero has his eye on Europe

It is not a grievance and it is not a demand: he wants to play continental football, and he has stopped hiding it. Whether Temperley can give him that is a question about the club, not about him.

Squad

Words at Temperley training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Franco Díaz 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.

Squad

Gabriel Hauche 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 Temperley this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

The dugout

Ezequiel Mastrolía 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

14 new faces, and Temperley 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 manager has not finished forgetting Lucas Angelini's mistake

Publicly it is behind everybody. It is not behind the man who picks the team, and the only place that shows is a team sheet. He will get another chance; he will get it in a match that matters less.

Match

Honours even between Temperley and Defensores

1‑1, and both dressing rooms will call it two points lost. A draw that asked plenty of questions and answered none of them.

The dugout

Emiliano Rossi: “We have to be better”

“It is not the end of the world and it is not good enough. Both of those are true.” The manager, after a 1‑1 draw, said the honest thing and then went to say it again inside.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Market

Nicolás Molina 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 The request is on a desk at Temperley, and it is not being withdrawn.

Player ratings

Age has not caught Luciano Nieto yet — 8.13

At 35 he is supposed to be managing his minutes. Instead he was marked 8.13 and looked, for ninety minutes, exactly like the player everybody remembers.

Squad

A falling-out at Temperley

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

Match

Gerónimo Tomasetti sends Temperley past Talleres

It finished 3‑2, and it was Gerónimo Tomasetti’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Temperley.

Match

The drought breaks for Temperley

5 without a win is the sort of run that changes how a town talks about its club, and Talleres were the afternoon it stopped. Nothing is fixed by one result and everything feels different by one.

Squad

Cristian Esparza 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.

Player ratings

Pedro Souto beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 18. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Player ratings

Facundo Krüger in the eights

A performance of 8.15 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Fernando Brandán

“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.

In brief
