Squad

Demian Rea: 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.” Banfield have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Squad

Tempers go at Banfield

Bruno Sepúlveda 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

No hiding place for Santiago Esquivel

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

Market

Orebro come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Banfield did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Market

So close: Lisandro Piñero’s move dies late

The fee was agreed and the flight was looked at — and then the phone stopped ringing. Betis moved on, Lisandro Piñero reports back to Banfield, and everybody pretends Monday is just Monday.

Squad

Tempers go at Banfield

Bruno Sepúlveda 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

Favio Álvarez 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

Neyder Moreno in the eights

A performance of 8.01 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

Squad

Banfield pick somebody else ahead of Nicolás Colazo

There is no complaint available here and everybody involved knows it, which does not make the walk to the bench any shorter. Form is the only currency in football that cannot be borrowed against.

Match

Banfield and River Plate take a point apiece

It finished 1‑1, and it somehow always looked like it would. One of those afternoons where the table moves less than the tempers.

Squad

Demian Rea 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.

Player ratings

Lisandro Piñero runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 11. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.
