Player ratings

Nobody could get near Diego Valoyes

Successful dribbles: 26. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad

Franco Cristaldo 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 Talleres this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match

Whatever happens, Talleres do not lose

6 games unbeaten now. Some were earned and some were survived, but a habit is forming — and habits are the hardest thing in football to play against.

Squad

Words at Talleres training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Juan Manuel Crespo 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

The manager makes an example of Juan Rodríguez

“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.

Squad

Daniel Ribera dropped after a run of poor form

The one version of being left out a player cannot argue with, and the one he takes worst. Somebody else has been better and the team sheet says so, in public, every week until it changes.

Player ratings

The afternoon belonged to Augusto Schott

A mark of 7.24, and nobody in the ground would argue with it. He was involved in everything that mattered and most of what did not.

Match

Point won or two lost for Talleres?

Ninety minutes, no goals, and the argument started before the car park emptied: a point gained, or two thrown away against Unión de Santa Fe? Both sides of it will still be going on Thursday.

Loan watch

2 goals on loan for Emanuel Reynoso

5 appearances at Deportivo Cali and the goals keep coming. Talleres are watching this more closely than the borrowing club would like.

Match

The cup run ends for Talleres

0‑0 against Tristán Suárez, and the road stops here. Cup exits are quick deaths — no second leg, no next week, just the league from now until May.

Squad

Alan Minaglia decides it from twelve yards

1 kept out in the shoot-out, and a stadium that will still be describing them in twenty years. A goalkeeper only needs one of these to be remembered forever.

Player ratings

Cristian Ludueña runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 25. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad

Tempers go at Talleres

Franco Cristaldo 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

Matías Catalán 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.

Match

Diego Valoyes the difference as Talleres beat Boca Juniors

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Diego Valoyes. 2‑1 against Boca Juniors, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

The terraces

The crowd has taken to Daniel Ribera

At 21 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.

Player ratings

The kick that got away from Jeremías Gallard

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.

Squad

The manager has not finished forgetting Matías Catalán'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.

Player ratings

Rick runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 27. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Market

Talleres turn down Alavés for Giovanni Baroni

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

Market

Talleres sell Timoteo Chamorro for $3.3M

Timoteo Chamorro has left for Osasuna in a $3.3M deal. The accountants are pleased; the supporters are less certain.

Squad

Franco Cristaldo 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 Talleres this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Words at Talleres training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Matías Catalán 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.

Match

Talleres get the job done against Deportivo Riestra

A 1‑0 win over Deportivo Riestra, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

Player ratings

The afternoon belonged to Ronaldo Martínez

A mark of 7.91, and nobody in the ground would argue with it. He was involved in everything that mattered and most of what did not.

Squad

Daniel Ribera dropped after a run of poor form

The one version of being left out a player cannot argue with, and the one he takes worst. Somebody else has been better and the team sheet says so, in public, every week until it changes.

Squad

No hiding place for Valentín Dávila

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