Squad

The knee: Tomás Federico out for 124 days

124 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. Alvarado lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

Squad

Real improvement from Tobías Berón at Alvarado

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Tobías Berón is 19, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Squad

Matías Mansilla 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.

Squad

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Lucas Chiozza was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

The dugout

Benito Paklayan 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.

The dugout

Tomás Federico asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.
