Squad

Tempers go at Union Espanola

Pablo Aránguiz 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.

Market

The clock runs on Sebastián Pereira's contract

48 months left and silence from upstairs — no offer, no talks, nothing for his people to answer. Clubs that let a calendar do their negotiating usually end up negotiating with the calendar.

Player ratings

Patricio Rubio was the difference for Union Espanola

Marked 7.72. Ask anyone leaving the ground what settled it and you will get one name, which is the only award that has ever really counted.

Squad

Pablo Aránguiz is still paying for one afternoon at Union Espanola

Nobody will confirm this and nothing else explains the last month of selections. A costly error buys a player a period of being second choice that is always longer than the error was.

Match

Union Espanola and Colo-Colo take a point apiece

It finished 1‑1, and it somehow always looked like it would. One of those afternoons where the table moves less than the tempers.

Squad

Patricio Rubio is off the mark for Union Espanola

The first one is the one every signing is asked about until it arrives. It has arrived, and he can stop being asked.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad

Patricio Rubio signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Patricio Rubio and Union Espanola agree another 2 years.

Squad

Sebastián Pereira 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 Union Espanola this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Words at Union Espanola training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Patricio Rubio 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

Martín Ormeño 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.

Market

Talks stall between Union Espanola and Patricio Rubio

“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

49 months and counting on Pablo Aránguiz

Still no offer on the table, and Pablo Aránguiz’s deal keeps shrinking. In boardroom language, silence this long stops being an oversight and starts being an answer.

Match

Union Espanola share the spoils with Audax Italiano

A 1‑1 draw with Audax Italiano leaves the dressing room somewhere between relief and regret.

Player ratings

Pablo Aránguiz could not find anything

4.74. Every footballer has these and most of them happen away from a full ground; his did not, and he will be aware of that all week.

Market

No place for Franco Burgos in the plan

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