The dugout

Dayro Peña says Argentino de Quilmes 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.

Market

Ezequiel Madariaga hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Argentino de Quilmes can pretend not to have heard.

Squad

Words exchanged at Argentino de Quilmes

Leandro Guzmán 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.

Squad

Román Barreto 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.

The dugout

No hiding place for Leonel Escudero

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

Market

Tomás Gaitán linked with a move away

The name of Tomás Gaitán keeps appearing in other people's back pages. Argentino de Quilmes say nothing, which says plenty.

Squad

Leonel Escudero wants out of the dugout

“I did not sign to watch. Nobody does.” The oldest complaint in the game, and Argentino de Quilmes will have to answer it with minutes or with a move.

The dugout

A door opens for Sebastián Alfonso

He asked about his future and was given an answer with minutes in it. The manager has now made a promise in a building where promises are remembered, and the clock on it has started.

The dugout

Daniel Del Valle 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

Enzo Zárate 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 Argentino de Quilmes this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

A row about effort at Argentino de Quilmes

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

Squad

A place in the month's best eleven for Marcelo Vega

Four or five weekends of consistency, judged against everybody in the division doing his job. Marcelo Vega has come out of that comparison in the side, and Argentino de Quilmes have had the benefit of every one of those afternoons.

Looking ahead

A test against the best for Argentino de Quilmes

The team at the top of the table next, and the honest measure of where this side actually is. Anybody can beat the club below them; the question is what happens against Ferrocarril Midland.

Squad

The division's best last weekend was a Argentino de Quilmes man

It is a small honour and it is not nothing: somebody watched every match in the division and decided that Franco Sosa was the best thing in any of them.

The dugout

Daniel Del Valle 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.

Looking ahead

Germán Cheppi faces his old club

Ferrocarril Midland next, and one man in the Argentino de Quilmes dressing room knows their training ground better than his own. The reception will tell him what they thought of him.

Market

Still no ink between Argentino de Quilmes and Fernando Cosciuc

“We keep meeting, and we keep leaving the room with the same numbers we walked in with.” Another round of talks at Argentino de Quilmes, another week without a signature from Fernando Cosciuc.

The dugout

Mauro Gómez knocks on the manager’s door

“Thirty minutes, door closed, everything said. We shook hands after.” Whatever was in the room stayed in the room, and Mauro Gómez trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.
