Squad

A falling-out at Los Andes

Brian Leizza 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 Los Andes training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Tomás Díaz 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.

The dugout

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.

Squad

Javier Bustillos stays put

“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.

Franco Tisera slips down the pecking order

Still no ink between Los Andes and Daniel Franco

“We keep meeting, and we keep leaving the room with the same numbers we walked in with.” Another round of talks at Los Andes, another week without a signature from Daniel Franco.

No place for Nahuel Verón in the plan

“The manager did not use many words, and he did not need to.” Nahuel Verón has his answer from Los Andes; what he does with it is the next window’s story.

Mario Galeano linked with a move away

The name of Mario Galeano keeps appearing in other people's back pages. Los Andes say nothing, which says plenty.

The dugout

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
