Match

Alvarado are in real trouble now

Position 16, 16 points, and a fixture list with fewer games left in it than excuses. The arithmetic is not cruel yet, but it has stopped being kind.

Market

Ariel Castellano asks to leave Alvarado

“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.

Match

A bad afternoon for Alvarado against Gimnasia y Tiro

2-3 to Gimnasia y Tiro, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Boardroom

Wages eat 173% of everything Alvarado earn

There is a figure at which a wage bill stops being ambitious and becomes the reason nothing else is possible, and this club has reached it. Nothing is left over for a transfer, a stand or a rainy afternoon.

Squad

Lautaro Núñez 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

Tomás Berra asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

Match

No end in sight to Alvarado's wait for a win

4 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Alvarado has to find a result from somewhere.

Squad

Emanuel Bilbao 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.

Boardroom

The numbers do not look good at Alvarado

Wages have outrun income and the accountants have started attending meetings they used to send apologies to. Ambition comes second in a season like this.

Match

Alvarado and Ferro Carril Oeste cancel each other out

Nil-nil, and few chances worth the name. Ferro Carril Oeste came to defend and left with exactly what they came for.

Squad

Germán Sosa is not saying it is over

“Ask me in the summer. I will know before anybody else does.” He is 36 with 9 appearances behind him, and Alvarado have to plan for both answers.

Squad

Santiago Gutiérrez wants a proper job in this side

Shifted about, taken off before the hour, asked to do somebody else's running — Santiago Gutiérrez has had enough of being useful and would like to be picked. Alvarado know, and have known for weeks.

Market

Thiago D'Archivio asks to leave Alvarado

“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.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Tomás Fernández

“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.

Squad

Lucas Monzón asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

Squad

Tomás Fernández 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.

Market

The clock runs on Marco Miori's contract

48 months left and silence from upstairs — no offer, no talks, nothing for his people to answer. Clubs that let a calendar do their negotiating usually end up negotiating with the calendar.

Match

Alvarado draw a blank against San Martín

The crowd waited for a goal that never came. San Martín defended in numbers and left with what they came for, and the two sides could be playing still without troubling a scorer.
