Squad

Tempers go at Aldosivi

Guillermo Enrique 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.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Tomás Fernández

Successful dribbles: 20. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Match

Facundo De La Vega’s goal not enough for Aldosivi

Facundo De La Vega scored, and precious little else went right: 1‑2 to Barracas Central, and a quiet walk to the dressing room.

Player ratings

Facundo De La Vega in the eights

A performance of 8.65 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

Squad

Thiago Cattanese 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

Words at Aldosivi training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Lucas Rodríguez 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

David Juárez signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” David Juárez commits to Aldosivi for another 4 years.

Market

The Lucas Acosta talk will not go away

Another week, another link, another denial nobody quite believes. Aldosivi know the market decides these things, not the back pages — but the back pages are louder.

Player ratings

An afternoon Gianluca Mancuso will want back

Marked 5.54. Nothing he attempted worked and by the hour mark he had stopped attempting much, which is the part a manager notices rather than the mistakes.

Match

David Juárez sends Aldosivi through

Cup ties wait for somebody to seize them, and David Juárez obliged against Temperley. 3‑2 on the night, and the name in the next round’s hat is Aldosivi.

Match

Aldosivi turn it around against Temperley

Going 2 down does something to a side, and what it usually does is finish them. Not here. Aldosivi rebuilt the afternoon goal by goal, and Temperley had no answer to any of it.

Player ratings

Javier Pascual could not have asked for more on his first appearance — 9.20

Debuts are survived rather than enjoyed. This one was enjoyed: 9.20, 1 goals, and a manager already being asked whether he starts again next week.

Player ratings

A brace, and David Juárez takes the afternoon — 8.25

There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. David Juárez provided it, and the 8.25 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

Squad

Franco Capponi keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Aldosivi may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Squad

Fernando Duré 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 Aldosivi this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Guillermo Enrique falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Lucas Acosta

“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 terraces

Aldosivi supporters have found a favourite in David Juárez

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 21-year-old it feels ownership of. David Juárez has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

The terraces

The mood at Aldosivi has turned into something else

Supporters who sing when it goes badly are supporters. Supporters who gather afterwards are a problem, and everybody inside the building knows which of the two this now is.

Match

No end in sight to Aldosivi's wait for a win

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

Squad

Joaquín Novillo damages knee ligaments — 23 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 23 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Player ratings

Nothing got past Federico Laurelli

Headers, blocks, tackles, interceptions — 33 of them, and not one goal behind him. The sort of performance that never makes a highlight reel and wins football matches.

Squad

A one-man rearguard from Lucas Acosta

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.

Player ratings

Marcos Enrique was immovable

30 times he got in the way of something. Centre-halves get written about when they make mistakes and ignored when they do not, so an afternoon like this needs saying out loud: he is the reason the scoreline reads as it does.

Market

Only the photograph left for Junior Arias

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Junior Arias will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Aldosivi the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Player ratings

A chastening introduction for David Juárez — 5.80

It is a hard way to meet a crowd. Marked 5.80 on the day he was handed the shirt, and the important thing now is what the next one looks like.

Squad

Tempers go at Aldosivi

Fernando Duré 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.
