Squad

101 days out for Raúl Tito after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Liverpool Montevideo will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Market

Jhonathan Soria asks to leave Liverpool Montevideo

“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

Juan Martín Pirota is on his way

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

Boardroom

Joaquin Pereira signs on for the long haul

Liverpool Montevideo moved before anybody else could: a new deal for Joaquin Pereira, agreed quietly and announced loudly. Boards extend managers for many reasons; the good one is the one this looks like.

Squad

Tempers go at Liverpool Montevideo

Gabriel Obredor 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.

Boardroom

Graduation day at Liverpool Montevideo

7 boys move up, and somewhere in the building the people who coached them at twelve are quietly having the best morning of their working year. Nothing about this shows up in a result and it is why the academy exists.

Market

Liverpool Montevideo promote Mathias Pellistri from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Mathias Pellistri has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Market

One of our own: Ramon Nunez joins the Liverpool Montevideo first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Ramon Nunez is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Squad

Thiago Rojas stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Thiago Rojas and Liverpool Montevideo agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad

Joaquín Rivero breaks a bone — 103 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 103 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

The dugout

Squad

A falling-out at Liverpool Montevideo

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

Squad

Words at Liverpool Montevideo training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Diego Romero 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.

Squad

Nahuel Olmedo is no longer first choice

The manager has re-ordered his thinking and Nahuel Olmedo has come out of it lower. He will be told it is temporary, and the players who have heard that before will avoid his eye.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Agustín Nadruz

“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.

The dugout

When it matters, Emiliano Gómez 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.

Market

Liverpool Montevideo and Rafael Haller are talking past each other

“There is a gap, and pretending there is not helps nobody.” Neither side has moved, and the calendar is working for exactly one of them.

Market

Jhonathan Soria is free to find somewhere else

“I was told straight, and I would rather have it straight.” The manager at Liverpool Montevideo has been clear about where Jhonathan Soria stands, which is more than many ever get.
