Matías González 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.

“The easiest signature of my career.” Javier Bustillos and Los Andes agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Still no ink between Los Andes and Daniel Franco

No place for Nahuel Verón in the plan

Julián Rodríguez Vuotto 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 Julián Rodríguez Vuotto trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.
In brief

- The dugout Axel Páez has been promised minutes
