Marked for Joaquín Blanco

Squad13 Aug 2029

Jonás Luna in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Wanderers this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Market13 Aug 2029

Gerónimo Govea has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Wanderers they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Squad13 Aug 2029

Defences have started doubling up on Fernando Mimbacas

14 goals and a season average of 7.26 will do that. The space he used to find has gone; he keeps scoring anyway, which is the mark of the real thing.

Match11 Aug 2029

Fernando Mimbacas the difference as Wanderers beat Nacional

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Fernando Mimbacas. 2‑1 against Nacional, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

A masterclass from Luciano Cosentino

Marked 9.02 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.

Squad13 Aug 2029

No hiding place for Agustín Buffa

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Agustín Buffa, and the manager let it.

Fernando Mimbacas in the eights

A performance of 8.55 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

Wanderers count the cost of losing Joaquín Blanco

32 days, the scan says, and scans are kinder than reality. The fixtures in that window have just become somebody else’s job.

Jonás Luna leaves them behind him

Shots: 7. Goals: none. The chances were there and they were good ones, and they went into the stand, the goalkeeper's arms and the side netting in roughly that order.

From our football correspondent Steady

Match25 Mar 2028

Wanderers taken apart

0‑3 to Boston River, and it was every bit as bad as the number suggests. There are defeats you argue about and defeats you apologise for; this was the second kind.

Squad27 Mar 2028

Tempers go at Wanderers

José Alberti 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.

Boardroom27 Mar 2028

Inquest at Wanderers

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.

Player ratings27 Mar 2028

Off the pace: Luciano Cosentino

A mark of 3.35 tells the story without any need for embellishment. He will want the tape of this one quietly lost.

Player ratings27 Mar 2028

Jonás Luna runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 15. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad27 Mar 2028

Rodrigo Rivero 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.
