Market

Miguel Sánchez hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Universitario can pretend not to have heard.

Squad

Tempers go at Universitario

Alex Valera 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.

Squad

Cristián Blanco 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

Brandon Carroll out for 29 days

The medical room confirms 29 days on the sidelines for Brandon Carroll, and a plan built around him now has to be rebuilt.

Squad

Hugo Weckmann 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.

Market

The Cristián Blanco question follows Universitario around

Every press conference now starts and ends the same way: with Cristián Blanco’s future. The manager has run out of new ways to say nothing.

Match

Universitario are in among the leaders

Position 1 and 51 points on the board. Nobody at the ground will say the word out loud yet, and everybody at the ground is thinking it.

Squad

Jesús Castillo keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Universitario may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Squad

Tempers go at Universitario

Alex Valera 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.

Squad

Universitario count the cost of losing Brandon Carroll

39 days, the scan says, and scans are kinder than reality. The fixtures in that window have just become somebody else’s job.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Miguel Sánchez

“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.

Market

Sebastián Flores linked with a move away

The name of Sebastián Flores keeps appearing in other people's back pages. Universitario say nothing, which says plenty.
