Squad

A knee injury of the worst kind for Joaquín Ruiz

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

Squad

Leandro Lozano says Boca Juniors went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Market

Miguel Ventos asks to leave Boca Juniors

“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.

Market

Boca Juniors turn down Chacarita Juniors for Joaquín Piñeyro

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

Squad

Tempers go at Boca Juniors

Leandro Paredes 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

Nicolás Orsini signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Nicolás Orsini commits to Boca Juniors for another 2 years.

Squad

Joaquín Ruiz damages knee ligaments — 36 days out

Squad

Leandro Paredes 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 Boca Juniors this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Words at Boca Juniors training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Lautaro Blanco is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Joaquín Ruiz damages knee ligaments — 45 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 45 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Leandro Paredes 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

Leandro Paredes knocks on the manager’s door

“Thirty minutes, door closed, everything said. We shook hands after.” Whatever was in the room stayed in the room, and Leandro Paredes trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.
