The terraces

Anger at River Plate spills outside the ground

It has stopped being a mood in the stands and started being something organised. Boards can ignore a bad atmosphere for a long time; they cannot ignore this stage of it for very long at all.

Boardroom

The silence upstairs is getting loud at River Plate

Nobody on the board has said anything against the manager, which is the point — they have stopped saying anything for him either.

Squad

Tempers go at River Plate

Matías Vecino 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

Words at River Plate training over how hard people work

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

The dugout

Inti López 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 River Plate, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Squad

Facundo Paredes slips down the pecking order

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

Market

Still no ink between River Plate and Francisco Triver

“We keep meeting, and we keep leaving the room with the same numbers we walked in with.” Another round of talks at River Plate, another week without a signature from Francisco Triver.

Squad

“I want to play”: Diego Sánchez speaks

“I respect the manager and I am not going to sit here and pretend I am happy.” It is the most common sentence in football and it has never once been the end of a story.

The dugout

The manager makes Gerónimo Blanco a promise

Nothing in writing and nothing in public: a word about playing time, given face to face at River Plate. The team sheets over the next month will show whether it was worth having.

Market

Agustín Mora 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 River Plate can pretend not to have heard.

Market

Nicolás dos Santos has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around River Plate they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Squad

Real improvement from Francisco Triver at River Plate

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Francisco Triver is 20, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Squad

Tempers go at River Plate

Brayan Alcócer 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 Vecino signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Matías Vecino commits to River Plate for another 3 years.

Squad

Matías Vecino is a square peg at River Plate

The system has changed and his position has not. A footballer can improve his form; he cannot improve the manager’s formation, and that is the whole of the problem.

Squad

A falling-out at River Plate

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

Squad

Cristian Techera is no longer first choice

The manager has re-ordered his thinking and Cristian Techera has come out of it lower. He will be told it is temporary, and the players who have heard that before will avoid his eye.

Market

Still no ink between River Plate and Lautaro Pertusatti

“We keep meeting, and we keep leaving the room with the same numbers we walked in with.” Another round of talks at River Plate, another week without a signature from Lautaro Pertusatti.

Squad

A place in the month's best eleven for Tomás López

Four or five weekends of consistency, judged against everybody in the division doing his job. Tomás López has come out of that comparison in the side, and River Plate have had the benefit of every one of those afternoons.

Squad

River Plate have started building around Lautaro Pertusatti

He used to be one of the options. He is now one of the men the options are picked around, and the change happened quietly enough that only the dressing room noticed on the day.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Damián Frascarelli

“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.
