Market12 Apr 2027

Thiago Ocampo has one foot out of the door

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

Squad12 Apr 2027

Remember the name: Thiago Ocampo

He is 18, he is averaging 6.55, and older professionals have started passing to him in the difficult minutes. That last part is the real scouting report.

Squad12 Apr 2027

6 saves: Luciano Jachfe was the team

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the whole of the defence. 6 saves, several of them the kind nobody expects to see made, and ten outfield players who owe him a drink.

Player ratings12 Apr 2027

Braian Toloza, 21, steals the show — 7.69

Marked 7.69 at 21, in a side that makes no allowances for age. He did not need any, and he looked the least nervous man on the pitch.

Market12 Apr 2027

Iván López asks to leave Nueva Chicago

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Squad12 Apr 2027

Dylan Gissi 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 Nueva Chicago this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad12 Apr 2027

Words at Nueva Chicago training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Luciano Jachfe 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.

Player ratings12 Apr 2027

Ramiro Balbuena was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 19. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

The dugout12 Apr 2027

Iván Antunes 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.

Match6 Mar 2027

The wait goes on for Nueva Chicago

10 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.

Market8 Mar 2027

Iván López 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 The request is on a desk at Nueva Chicago, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad8 Mar 2027

Emiliano Méndez stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Emiliano Méndez and Nueva Chicago agree another 2 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Match6 Mar 2027

Nueva Chicago cannot find the net

4 games without scoring. Strikers stop looking up, midfielders take the extra touch, and every shot that clears the bar is followed by a groan that has been building since the last goal.

Squad8 Mar 2027

A falling-out at Nueva Chicago

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

Squad8 Mar 2027

A row about effort at Nueva Chicago

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Luciano Jachfe was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

The dugout8 Mar 2027

Facundo Castro 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.

Loan watch8 Mar 2027

Matías Bergara counts the days

“I watch every Nueva Chicago game from here. That says everything about where my head is.” The loan at HJK runs its course, but his heart never made the trip.

Squad8 Mar 2027

A place in the month's best eleven for Alejandro Almaraz

Four or five weekends of consistency, judged against everybody in the division doing his job. Alejandro Almaraz has come out of that comparison in the side, and Nueva Chicago have had the benefit of every one of those afternoons.

In brief

Squad16 Nov 2026

A knee injury of the worst kind for Alan Ruiz

58 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Nueva Chicago lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

The dugout16 Nov 2026

Javier Pereyra: 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.” Nueva Chicago have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Squad16 Nov 2026

A falling-out at Nueva Chicago

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

Squad16 Nov 2026

A row about effort at Nueva Chicago

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Enzo Roldán was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

The dugout16 Nov 2026

When it matters, Lucas Ambrogio plays

It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.

The dugout16 Nov 2026

Alejandro Almaraz 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.
