A falling-out at Defensores Unidos

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

Squad1 Feb 2027

A row about effort at Defensores Unidos

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Maximiliano Ortigoza was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Miguel Flores 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.

The dugout1 Feb 2027

Julio López knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Defensores Unidos, and both men came out saying it was fine.

The Francisco Salerno question follows Defensores Unidos around

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

The dugout1 Feb 2027

Bautista Carboni has been promised minutes

A conversation in the manager’s office, and a commitment that came out of it. Promises like that are cheap to make and expensive to break, and Bautista Carboni has written the date down.

Squad1 Feb 2027

Tomás Ganga: “I am not a substitute”

“I have done everything asked of me in training and it has not changed a thing on a Saturday.” The most familiar complaint in football, and one Defensores Unidos will have to answer with minutes or with a transfer.

Defensores Unidos put Benjamin Gasman up for sale

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

Looking ahead1 Feb 2027

Defensores Unidos travel to Chacarita Juniors

Next up on the road: Chacarita Juniors, position 7. The supporters who go will talk about it all week and the ones who do not will check their phones at ten to five.

Transfer targets14 Dec 2026

Gabriel Vázquez is a medical away from Defensores Unidos

The deal with Quilmes is done in every sense but the one that puts him on the pitch. Nothing goes wrong at this stage, except on the occasions when it does.

Squad14 Dec 2026

Words exchanged at Defensores Unidos

Luis Olivera and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Squad14 Dec 2026

Alan Sombra 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.

Transfer targets14 Dec 2026

San Lorenzo tell Defensores Unidos: Branco Salinardi is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

The dugout14 Dec 2026

Franco Suárez 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.

The dugout14 Dec 2026

Martín Giménez 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.
