Market

Jaminton Campaz puts it in writing

“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 The request is on a desk at Rosario Central, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad

A falling-out at Rosario Central

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

Squad

Real improvement from Ramiro Giannone at Rosario Central

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Ramiro Giannone is 21, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Match

Enzo Copetti the difference as Rosario Central beat Racing Club

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Enzo Copetti. 1‑0 against Racing Club, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

Player ratings

Enzo Copetti takes the honours

Marked 7.68 on an afternoon he ran from the first whistle to the last. Whatever else went wrong, Rosario Central had the best player on the pitch.

The dugout

The view from the dugout

“We controlled it. There were spells I did not like and we will look at them, but the group showed me something.” Carlos Alberto Muñoz, on a 1‑0 win that he was already picking apart on the walk to the press room.

Squad

Words at Rosario Central training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Guillermo Fernández 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

Franco Ibarra 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 Franco Ibarra trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.

The dugout

No hiding place for Lucas Cuevas

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

Squad

Words exchanged at Rosario Central

Alan Rodríguez 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

Words at Rosario Central training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Alexis Soto 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

Carlos Quintana 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.

Squad

Alejo Veliz named in the team of the month

A month is long enough that nobody gets in by accident. Alejo Veliz is in the division's best eleven for it, which is a quieter compliment than an award and a more reliable one.

Squad

Rosario Central have started building around Agustín Sández

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

Ignacio Ovando gets picked when it counts

Every manager keeps a short list in his head of the men he wants on the pitch when the stakes rise, and it is never published. The team sheets for the big afternoons say Ignacio Ovando is on it.

Market

Talks stall between Rosario Central and Francesco Lo Celso

“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.

The dugout

A door opens for Lucas Cuevas

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.
