Player ratings

Daniel Juárez was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 29. 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.

Match

4 matches without a win for San Miguel

The run now stands at 4, and the questions being asked around San Miguel are no longer polite ones.

Squad

Daniel Juárez 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.

Player ratings

Nobody on the pitch touched Lucas Brochero

7.85, and no serious argument from anybody who was there. San Miguel had eleven men on the pitch and one of them decided how it went.

Squad

A step back for Alexis Cruz at San Miguel

Somebody has moved past him. It is not a dropping and it is worse than one, because a dropping is about a Saturday and this is about where he stands.

Squad

A place in the month's best eleven for Máximo Oses

Four or five weekends of consistency, judged against everybody in the division doing his job. Máximo Oses has come out of that comparison in the side, and San Miguel have had the benefit of every one of those afternoons.

The dugout

No hiding place for Tomás Díaz Grassano

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

Match

Honours even between San Miguel and Madryn

1‑1, and both dressing rooms will call it two points lost. A draw that asked plenty of questions and answered none of them.

The dugout

The manager’s verdict

“I am frustrated, honestly. We did enough to win and we did not win.” Enzo Suárez was not hiding it after 1‑1, and nobody in the San Miguel dressing room was either.

Player ratings

Age has not caught Jorge Ferrero yet — 7.80

At 33 he is supposed to be managing his minutes. Instead he was marked 7.80 and looked, for ninety minutes, exactly like the player everybody remembers.

Match

San Miguel leaking at the back

5 matches, two or more conceded in every one of them. Sides that create as much as this can live with it for a while. Nobody lives with it forever.

The dugout

Daniel Sappa 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

Jorge Ferrero 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.

Squad

Matías Benítez 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 San Miguel this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Máximo Oses

Successful dribbles: 17. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Match

Two points walk out of the ground

Level with 97 minutes on the clock, after an afternoon San Miguel had all but put away. Gimnasia y Tiro will call it a point earned; the home dressing room will call it two given away, and both of them are right.

Squad

San Miguel are still strangers to each other

17 new signings in one window. Every one may be an upgrade and the side can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild the verdicts never mention.

Match

San Miguel and Gimnasia y Tiro take a point apiece

It finished 2‑2, and it somehow always looked like it would. One of those afternoons where the table moves less than the tempers.

In brief

From our football correspondent Crisis

Squad

Daniel Sappa stands alone

9 saves, and a scoreline the ten men in front of him had no right to. Goalkeepers only get noticed on the bad days; this was one of the other ones.

Match

San Miguel bow out of the cup

Gimnasia La Plata go through and San Miguel go home, 2‑3 the scoreline that did it. The dressing room will call the league the priority now, because that is what dressing rooms say.

Player ratings

A brace, and Bruno Nasta takes the afternoon — 8.18

There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Bruno Nasta provided it, and the 8.18 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

Player ratings

Vintage Gustavo Fernández — 8.05

At 36 every good afternoon gets called a throwback, and this one was: 8.05, and nobody on the pitch better.

Squad

Tempers go at San Miguel

Jonathan Bay 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.

Player ratings

Máximo Oses beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 22. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Squad

A row about effort at San Miguel

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

Match

No clean sheets in sight for San Miguel

4 games now with at least two against. The back line has been rearranged, the goalkeeper has been backed publicly, and the goals keep going in anyway.

Match

Arsenal take the points off San Miguel

Beaten 1‑2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

In brief

  • The dugout The manager makes an example of Leandro Desábato
  • The dugout The view from the dugout
  • The dugout Bruno Nasta gets picked when it counts

Squad

Words exchanged at San Miguel

Daniel Sappa 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.

Market

One of our own: Alejandro Marino joins the San Miguel first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Alejandro Marino is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Market

San Miguel promote Jorge Escobar from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Jorge Escobar has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Market

One of our own: Chino joins the San Miguel first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Chino is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Market

Match

Almagro snatch it back from San Miguel

A goal on 90 minutes turned three points into one and a good afternoon into an argument about game management that will run until Saturday.
