Market

Luciano Riveros is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at San Martín SJ is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

The dugout

Santino Piccinetti says San Martín SJ 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.

The dugout

Julián Marchio frozen out at San Martín SJ

This is not rotation. Julián Marchio has not been in the manager's plans for some time, and nobody at San Martín SJ is pretending otherwise.

Squad

A falling-out at San Martín SJ

Santiago Sosa Yung and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Loan watch

The goals keep arriving from Álvaro Marín’s exile

12 goals in 29 games at Cobresal — numbers that travel home faster than he does. Somebody at San Martín SJ updates a spreadsheet every Monday, and it makes better reading each week.

Squad

San Martín SJ are still strangers to each other

5 new signings in one window. Every one may be an upgrade and the side can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild the verdicts never mention.

The dugout

The manager has not finished forgetting Tobías Bacar's mistake

Publicly it is behind everybody. It is not behind the man who picks the team, and the only place that shows is a team sheet. He will get another chance; he will get it in a match that matters less.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Santiago Hegler

“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

Nicolás Carrizo brings the grey hairs San Martín SJ lacked

At 37, he has seen every situation this season can produce, twice. The legs will be managed; the head is the purchase.

Squad

Tobías Bacar gets the move he always wanted

Footballers are asked about their boyhood club so often that nobody listens to the answer. Tobías Bacar has just signed for San Martín SJ, and for once the answer mattered.

The dugout

Sebastián González frozen out at San Martín SJ

This is not rotation. Sebastián González has not been in the manager's plans for some time, and nobody at San Martín SJ is pretending otherwise.

Squad

Words exchanged at San Martín SJ

Sebastián Jaurena 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.

Match

Defensores Unidos take the points off San Martín SJ

Beaten 0‑1, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Loan watch

11 goals on loan for Thomas Romero

26 appearances at Talleres and the goals keep coming. San Martín SJ are watching this more closely than the borrowing club would like.

Boardroom

Inquest at San Martín SJ

The manager kept them in and said what needed saying. A response is expected on Saturday, and if it does not come the questions move upstairs.

Loan watch

Jeremías Castro has seen enough of Deportivo Armenio

“I am grateful for the games, but I did not become a footballer to be somebody else's spare part.” He wants to be at San Martín SJ, and 4 appearances in 30 say he has earned the hearing.

The dugout

Valentín Aguirre: “No excuses”

“I could talk about decisions and I could talk about luck. I will not. We lost.” The manager, 0‑1, and a press conference that lasted four minutes.

Market

San Martín SJ buy the years ahead of Tobías Bacar

He is 20, and the scouting reports agree on the only line that matters: the ceiling. Signings like this are lottery tickets written by professionals.
