“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Ramiro Peralta commits to Juventud for another 4 years.

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

Words at Juventud training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Facundo Pérez 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.

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

A shoot-out is remembered by its ending, and this one ends with Sebastián Sosa: 2 kept out, and a set of supporters who will describe every one of them for the next twenty years.
Match26 Aug 2026
Juventud bow out of the cup
Nacional go through and Juventud go home, 0‑0 the scoreline that did it. The dressing room will call the league the priority now, because that is what dressing rooms say.
Match29 Aug 2026
Still nobody has beaten Juventud
The unbeaten run reaches 7. Some of them were wins and some were escapes, but a side that refuses to lose is a side other dressing rooms talk about.

Successful dribbles: 21. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

The manager makes an example of Bruno Larregui
“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.

18 times he got in the way of something. Centre-halves get written about when they make mistakes and ignored when they do not, so an afternoon like this needs saying out loud: he is the reason the scoreline reads as it does.

Twelve yards, a goalkeeper guessing, and it still did not go in. He will take the next one, and every soul in the ground will hold their breath.

Triumph
Match19 Aug 2026
Juventud through in the cup
A 2‑1 win over Wanderers, and the draw for the next round can be watched with some interest for once.
Squad24 Aug 2026
Martín Cáceres 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.
Player ratings24 Aug 2026
Successful dribbles: 20. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.
Match22 Aug 2026
A 2‑1 win over Plaza Colonia, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.
The terraces24 Aug 2026
At 23 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.
Match22 Aug 2026
Juventud keep winning on the road
3 away wins in a row. Travelling support is the truest kind, and this season it is being repaid in the only currency that counts.
Player ratings24 Aug 2026
Marked 8.32 — 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.

Agustín Alaniz was on a different afternoon to everybody else
8.25. There are performances a supporter describes to somebody who was not there and cannot quite convey; this was one, and the number does not help either.

David Morosini 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.

Still no offer on the table, and Federico Barrandeguy’s deal keeps shrinking. In boardroom language, silence this long stops being an oversight and starts being an answer.

“There is a gap, and pretending there is not helps nobody.” Neither side has moved, and the calendar is working for exactly one of them.
