There were 7 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.
Market5 Jun 2028
Oriental come back empty-handed
The bid was some way short and Miramar Misiones did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.
Boardroom5 Jun 2028
Nobody upstairs has said anything, which is the loudest thing they could do. Results buy silence in this game; the account at Miramar Misiones is running low.
Squad5 Jun 2028
“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Miramar Misiones may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.
Market5 Jun 2028
“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.
Squad5 Jun 2028
It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Miramar Misiones this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Successful dribbles: 21. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Words at Miramar Misiones training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Emiliano Saliadarre 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.
Player ratings5 Jun 2028
Headers, blocks, tackles, interceptions — 18 of them, and not one goal behind him. The sort of performance that never makes a highlight reel and wins football matches.

Crisis
The terraces6 Mar 2028
Anger at Miramar Misiones spills outside the ground
It has stopped being a mood in the stands and started being something organised. Boards can ignore a bad atmosphere for a long time; they cannot ignore this stage of it for very long at all.
Boardroom6 Mar 2028
The silence upstairs is getting loud at Miramar Misiones
Nobody on the board has said anything against the manager, which is the point — they have stopped saying anything for him either.
Squad6 Mar 2028
Nicolás Prieto 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.
Squad6 Mar 2028
Emiliano Saliadarre 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.

Nicolás Latorre was on a different afternoon to everybody else
8.31. There are performances a supporter describes to somebody who was not there and cannot quite convey; this was one, and the number does not help either.

A place in the month's best eleven for Bruno Serrón
Four or five weekends of consistency, judged against everybody in the division doing his job. Bruno Serrón has come out of that comparison in the side, and Miramar Misiones have had the benefit of every one of those afternoons.
Squad6 Mar 2028
The manager makes an example of Camilo Sánchez
“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.
Player ratings6 Mar 2028
Defensive actions: 14, and a clean sheet at the end of it. A centre-half's best afternoons look like nothing happening, which is precisely the point.

A knee injury of the worst kind for Camilo Sánchez
19 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Miramar Misiones lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.
Market27 Dec 2027
“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Miramar Misiones, and it is not being withdrawn.
Market27 Dec 2027
Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Miramar Misiones they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

The chase for Facundo Méndez ended with $36.0K changing hands and La Luz out of reasons to say no. The supporters will judge the fee the only way that matters: on Saturdays.
Squad20 Dec 2027
A move Facundo Méndez would have made for nothing
There is a version of every career where the player ends up somewhere he chose rather than somewhere that chose him. Facundo Méndez is living that version at Miramar Misiones, and it tends to show in the first month.

The paperwork is done long before the player is. Francisco Fernández has agreed terms to come here when his current deal runs out, which means Miramar Misiones have spent a summer's transfer budget on a phone call.
Market20 Dec 2027
Nicolás Prieto arrives at 35 with nothing left to prove and plenty left to pass on. Legs are a young man's currency; knowing where to stand never ages.
