Lautaro Di Lollo: 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.” Racing Club have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Terms done: Matko Miljevic is going
Fee agreed, wages agreed, and CF Montreal waiting with a shirt. Nobody at Racing Club is pretending otherwise, and the supporters have stopped asking whether and started asking when.

Words exchanged at Racing Club
Lautaro Di Lollo 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.

Gastón Martirena falls out with a teammate over standards
The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Ignacio Rodríguez has become a man the manager trusts
Nobody at Racing Club will say this on the record and the team sheets have been saying it for weeks. There is a small group in every squad who get picked when the fixture is difficult, and he has joined it.

The Mirlind Daku story refuses to die
It has been denied twice and printed three times, which is the usual arithmetic. Until Mirlind Daku signs something — a contract at Racing Club or anywhere else — this column belongs to him.

Juan Manuel Elordi faces his old club
Independiente Rivadavia next, and one man in the Racing Club dressing room knows their training ground better than his own. The reception will tell him what they thought of him.

Ignacio Galván has been promised minutes
A conversation in the manager’s office, and a commitment that came out of it. Promises like that are cheap to make and expensive to break, and Ignacio Galván has written the date down.

Alan Forneris has had enough of the bench
“I did not come here to warm up in front of people.” He is out of contract eventually, he is old enough to count the weeks, and Racing Club will have to give him a reason to stay or an exit.
