“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at San Lorenzo, and it is not being withdrawn.

A one-man rearguard from Orlando Gill
There were 7 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.
Squad10 May 2027
Orlando Gill 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.
Match8 May 2027
Central Córdoba SdE left with the points after a 0‑1 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

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

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Diego Herazo, and the manager let it.
Boardroom10 May 2027
Nobody left the San Lorenzo dressing room in a hurry
The door stayed shut a long time after the final whistle. What was said in there is between them; whether it worked is between them and Saturday.

Alexis Cuello 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 Alexis Cuello trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.
Player ratings10 May 2027
Shots: 7, enough of them from close enough that a striker in form scores two. He is not a striker in form.
Back issues

Uneasy
Market11 Jan 2027
The deal that would have taken Diego Herazo to Lanús has collapsed at the last stage, and he reports back to San Lorenzo with a summer to forget and a season still to play. Nobody is saying which side walked away.

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at San Lorenzo, and it is not being withdrawn.

“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.

Jhohan Romaña 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 San Lorenzo, and both men came out saying it was fine.

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at San Lorenzo, and it is not being withdrawn.

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.
Market21 Dec 2026
The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at San Lorenzo is pretending he will be back in the shirt.
Squad21 Dec 2026
Gastón Hernández 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.
Squad21 Dec 2026
“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.

Racing are out and San Lorenzo go through, 2‑1 the final word. The bracket opens up a little, and everyone allows themselves a look at it.
Player ratings24 Aug 2026
Successful dribbles: 23. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.
Market24 Aug 2026
The offer from Gil Vicente for Thiago Perugini was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.
Squad24 Aug 2026
It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at San Lorenzo this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

A performance of 9.63 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

0‑1 to Central Córdoba SdE, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.
