The General Diaz Herald

From our football correspondent Crisis

Squad

A one-man rearguard from Luis Uliambre

There were 8 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Match

No end in sight to General Diaz's wait for a win

6 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at General Diaz has to find a result from somewhere.

The terraces

The boos come down from three sides

“We pay for this every fortnight. The least we want is somebody who looks like he cares.” 6 of the 28 senior players walked off into it; the rest were not playing.

Squad

Hugo Benítez says General Diaz 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.

Match

Cerro Porteno take the points off General Diaz

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

Squad

Matías Adamy 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.

In brief
