Squad

Leonardo Olavarría breaks a bone — 83 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 83 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Market

Leonardo Olavarría has one foot out of the door

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

Match

Uruguay Montevideo are in among the leaders

Position 3 and 44 points on the board. Nobody at the ground will say the word out loud yet, and everybody at the ground is thinking it.

Squad

A falling-out at Uruguay Montevideo

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

Loan watch

Sebastián Camacho has seen enough of Torres

“I am grateful for the games, but I did not become a footballer to be somebody else's spare part.” He wants to be at Uruguay Montevideo, and 0 appearances in 35 say he has earned the hearing.

Squad

Mathías Aguiar: “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 Uruguay Montevideo will have to answer with minutes or with a transfer.

Squad

A fracture rules Leonardo Olavarría out for 113 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Uruguay Montevideo will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Market

Only the photograph left for Leonardo Olavarría

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Leonardo Olavarría will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Uruguay Montevideo the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Match

Uruguay Montevideo refuse to drop out of the race

Position 3, 44 points, and the result everyone checks first is now theirs. The word is still not being said around the ground, which is how you know everyone is thinking it.

Market

Uruguay Montevideo turn down Borneo for Tobías Quinteros

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

The dugout

Lucas Ortíz: 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.” Uruguay Montevideo have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Squad

A falling-out at Uruguay Montevideo

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

Loan watch

Sebastián Camacho has seen enough of Torres

“I am grateful for the games, but I did not become a footballer to be somebody else's spare part.” He wants to be at Uruguay Montevideo, and 0 appearances in 31 say he has earned the hearing.

Squad

Mathías Aguiar: “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 Uruguay Montevideo will have to answer with minutes or with a transfer.

The dugout

Facundo Silvestre 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.

Match

Facundo Techera sends Uruguay Montevideo through

Cup ties wait for somebody to seize them, and Facundo Techera obliged against Montevideo City Torque. 2‑1 on the night, and the name in the next round’s hat is Uruguay Montevideo.

Player ratings

Both of them Facundo Techera's — 9.00

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 9.00, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Match

Uruguay Montevideo strike at the death to beat Montevideo City Torque

There were 85 minutes on the clock and Montevideo City Torque had all but banked the point. Football rarely reads the room, and Uruguay Montevideo did not stop to explain themselves.

Squad

Words exchanged at Uruguay Montevideo

Mathías Abero 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.

The terraces

The crowd has taken to Facundo Techera

At 20 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.

Squad

Words at Uruguay Montevideo training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Leonardo Olavarría 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.

Player ratings

Matías Rigoleto in the eights

A performance of 8.02 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

Match

Honours even between Uruguay Montevideo and Cerrito

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

The manager’s verdict

“I am frustrated, honestly. We did enough to win and we did not win.” Pablo Barrios was not hiding it after 1‑1, and nobody in the Uruguay Montevideo dressing room was either.

Boardroom

Uruguay Montevideo told to sell

The instruction came from the boardroom and the dugout did not agree with it. Somebody will go, the fee will be called good business, and the manager will spend the season rebuilding around the space.

Boardroom

Wages swallow 134% of the Uruguay Montevideo income

Every club pays most of what it earns to its players. Paying nearly all of it is a different arrangement, and it has ended the same way every time it has been tried.

Market

Talks stall between Uruguay Montevideo and Gianluca López

“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

The shop window has Leonardo Olavarría in it

Uruguay Montevideo have let the market know Leonardo Olavarría can be had. No price in the advert, but everyone in the trade knows roughly what it says.

The dugout

Gianluca López 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

One-to-one work for Facundo Techera

A programme of his own, away from the group, aimed at one thing the staff think is holding him back. Most improvement happens like this and none of it makes the paper.
