Squad

Carlos Rodríguez 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 River Plate this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Germán Triunfo signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Germán Triunfo commits to River Plate for another 3 years.

Squad

Vitinho 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

Vitinho says River Plate 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.

Boardroom

Wages eat 96% of everything River Plate earn

There is a figure at which a wage bill stops being ambitious and becomes the reason nothing else is possible, and this club has reached it. Nothing is left over for a transfer, a stand or a rainy afternoon.

Squad

Mauro Estol keeps the receipts

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

Squad

Tempers go at River Plate

Carlos Rodríguez 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

Vitinho 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.

Squad

Tempers go at River Plate

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Vitinho

Successful dribbles: 18. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad

No hiding place for Lautaro Pertusatti

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

Player ratings

The afternoon belonged to Santiago Romero

A mark of 7.48, and nobody in the ground would argue with it. He was involved in everything that mattered and most of what did not.

Market

Talks stall between River Plate and Diego Sánchez

“We are a long way apart, and pretending otherwise helps nobody.” Neither side is close, and the calendar is not on the club's side.

Market

Nobody at River Plate has picked up the phone to Maximiliano Burruzo

48 months to run and not a word offered. A club that lets the calendar negotiate for it usually ends up losing to the calendar.

Match

River Plate and Liverpool Montevideo cancel each other out

Nil-nil, and few chances worth the name. Liverpool Montevideo came to defend and left with exactly what they came for.

Squad

Jonathan Parejo makes his debut at 20

At 20 years old, Jonathan Parejo became the latest name off the academy production line to be handed a senior shirt.

Player ratings

A defender's afternoon for Felipe Chiappini

Defensive actions: 11. He was first to everything and second to nothing, and the goalkeeper had an easy day because of it.
