Squad9 Aug 2027

Anthony Núñez stands alone

11 saves, and a scoreline the ten men in front of him had no right to. Goalkeepers only get noticed on the bad days; this was one of the other ones.

Match7 Aug 2027

Defensores taken apart

1‑4 to San Martín SJ, and it was every bit as bad as the number suggests. There are defeats you argue about and defeats you apologise for; this was the second kind.

Match7 Aug 2027

The wait goes on for Defensores

6 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

Player ratings9 Aug 2027

A defender's goal wins it for Defensores — 7.87

1 for Agustín Benítez, marked 7.87, and a centre-half's name in the part of the report he normally only reaches by mistake. He will not be allowed to forget it in the dressing room for a month.

Squad9 Aug 2027

Gonzalo Gamarra signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Gonzalo Gamarra commits to Defensores for another 3 years.

Squad9 Aug 2027

A falling-out at Defensores

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

Match7 Aug 2027

Defensores are shipping goals every week

Two or more conceded in each of the last 4 matches. It is not one mistake repeating itself, which would be the easier thing to fix; it is a different one every week.

Market9 Aug 2027

No place for Enzo González in the plan

“The manager did not use many words, and he did not need to.” Enzo González has his answer from Defensores; what he does with it is the next window’s story.

The dugout9 Aug 2027

The manager makes an example of Gonzalo Gamarra

“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.

In brief

  • Boardroom Inquest at Defensores
  • The dugout The manager’s verdict
  • The dugout Juan Monteagudo is still being punished for one mistake

Boardroom2 Aug 2027

Defensores put Gabriel Morales on notice

The board have said in public what they had been saying in private. Results between now and the next meeting decide it, and everybody in the building knows the arithmetic.

Market2 Aug 2027

Lorenzo Cores 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 Defensores can pretend not to have heard.

Match31 Jul 2027

5 matches without a win for Defensores

The run now stands at 5, and the questions being asked around Defensores are no longer polite ones.

The dugout2 Aug 2027

Ivan Borges: 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.” Defensores have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Squad2 Aug 2027

Words exchanged at Defensores

Ian Pérez 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.

Match31 Jul 2027

Comunicaciones take the points off Defensores

Beaten 1‑2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

The dugout2 Aug 2027

Ian Pérez 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.

Squad2 Aug 2027

Ezequiel Aguirre slips down the pecking order

The demotion a club never announces and a dressing room always notices. Ezequiel Aguirre is further from the side than he was, and the reason will not be given until he asks.

Market2 Aug 2027

Juan Rodríguez already looking beyond Defensores

He signed expecting a bigger stage than the one he found. It has not taken long, and it has not taken the dressing room long to notice either.

In brief
