Iván Guaraz: 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.” Barracas Central have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Barracas Central turn down Chiapas for Iván Guaraz

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Words exchanged at Barracas Central

Juan Espínola 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.

A row about effort at Barracas Central

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

The manager makes an example of Yonatthan Rak

“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.

When it matters, Juan Espínola 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.

Jhonatan Candia knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Barracas Central, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Fernando Tobio is not saying it is over

“Ask me in the summer. I will know before anybody else does.” He is 37 with 346 appearances behind him, and Barracas Central have to plan for both answers.

An aura around David Sotelo

Where he used to play does most of his talking for him at Barracas Central. The room defers to it, the kids study it, and the only thing that can puncture it is a bad month.

Squad25 Jan 2027

A knee injury of the worst kind for Yeison Gordillo

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

Match25 Jan 2027

Barracas Central sink to position 13

9 points, and a fixture list that is running out. The mathematics are not yet cruel, but they are no longer kind.

Gastón Campi keeps the receipts

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

Tempers go at Barracas Central

Juan Espínola 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.

Squad25 Jan 2027

Barracas Central lose Esteban Rolón

22 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.

Chiapas join the queue for Iván Guaraz

Add another name to the list: Chiapas have asked the question everybody in the game has been asking about Iván Guaraz. The answer from Barracas Central has not changed — yet.

Esteban Rolón 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.

When it matters, Dardo Miloc 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.
