Squad28 May 2035

Joel Lucero damages knee ligaments — 18 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 18 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.

Squad28 May 2035

Emiliano Álvarez 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 Danubio this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad28 May 2035

No hiding place for Benjamín Ilama

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

Match26 May 2035

A bad afternoon for Danubio against Artigas

0‑1 to Artigas, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Squad28 May 2035

Patrick Jorge 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.

Boardroom28 May 2035

Nobody left the Danubio dressing room in a hurry

The door stayed shut a long time after the final whistle. What was said in there is between them; whether it worked is between them and Saturday.

Player ratings28 May 2035

Mateo Peralta runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 14. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

The terraces28 May 2035

The spotlight tightens on Enzo Cabrera

Every touch is being weighed now, in print and everywhere else. Some players grow into that and some are quietly ruined by it, and nobody knows which in advance.

Market28 May 2035

José Río linked with a move away

The name of José Río keeps appearing in other people's back pages. Danubio say nothing, which says plenty.

Squad30 Apr 2035

A knee injury of the worst kind for Joel Lucero

47 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Danubio lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

The terraces30 Apr 2035

The boos come down from three sides

“We pay for this every fortnight. The least we want is somebody who looks like he cares.” 9 of the 39 senior players walked off into it; the rest were not playing.

Market30 Apr 2035

José Río wants European nights

The general version of this complaint is that a player wants more. The specific version names the thing: he wants to walk out under floodlights against clubs from other countries, and he has stopped pretending otherwise.

Squad30 Apr 2035

Emiliano Álvarez 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 Danubio this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match28 Apr 2035

Bautista Pereira’s goal not enough for Danubio

Bautista Pereira scored, and precious little else went right: 1‑3 to Wanderers, and a quiet walk to the dressing room.

Squad30 Apr 2035

No hiding place for Mateo Rinaldi

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

Squad30 Apr 2035

Facundo Saravia 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.

Player ratings30 Apr 2035

Nobody could get near Enzo Cabrera

Successful dribbles: 15. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Match4 Mar 2034

Mateo Peralta wins it after the whistle should have gone

96 minutes played. Mateo Peralta found the finish in time that only existed because of earlier delays, and Wanderers went from a point to nothing inside one movement.

Squad6 Mar 2034

José Río keeps Danubio in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 8 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Squad6 Mar 2034

A day Mateo Peralta will not forget

3 goals in one game. The first was taken well, the second was taken greedily, and by the third the crowd were simply waiting for him to get the ball.

Market6 Mar 2034

Cristian González has one foot out of the door

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

Squad6 Mar 2034

Emiliano Álvarez stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Emiliano Álvarez and Danubio agree another 2 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad6 Mar 2034

Tempers go at Danubio

Mateo Rinaldi 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.

Match4 Mar 2034

Danubio get the job done against Wanderers

A 4‑3 win over Wanderers, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

Player ratings6 Mar 2034

Mateo Peralta in the eights

A performance of 9.59 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

Match4 Mar 2034

Danubio keep winning on the road

3 away wins in a row. Travelling support is the truest kind, and this season it is being repaid in the only currency that counts.

In brief
