Market

Chacarita Juniors say no — this time

The offer from JS Kabylie for Ezequiel Gerez was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Squad

Julián Velázquez 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 Chacarita Juniors this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Words at Chacarita Juniors training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Juan Cuevas 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

Mario Sanabria signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Mario Sanabria and Chacarita Juniors agree another 3 years.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Sebastián Ramírez

“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.

Market

The clock runs on Álvaro Cuello's contract

24 months left and silence from upstairs — no offer, no talks, nothing for his people to answer. Clubs that let a calendar do their negotiating usually end up negotiating with the calendar.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Maximiliano Meléndez

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

Match

Chacarita Juniors draw a blank against Temperley

The crowd waited for a goal that never came. Temperley defended in numbers and left with what they came for, and the two sides could be playing still without troubling a scorer.

Player ratings

Juan Cuevas could have had three

4 attempts, none of them in. He got into the right places all afternoon, which is the hard part, and did the easy part badly — and that is the version of a bad day a manager can live with.

Squad

Gonzalo Mottes signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Gonzalo Mottes commits to Chacarita Juniors for another 4 years.

Squad

Juan Cuevas 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 Chacarita Juniors this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Market

Chacarita Juniors may not be able to give Lisandro Montenegro what he wants

It is the most legitimate ambition in the sport and the hardest for most clubs to satisfy. Lisandro Montenegro wants continental football; whether Chacarita Juniors can provide it is a question about the next two seasons, not about him.

Squad

Álvaro Cuello 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 Favio Cabral

“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 ratings

Mario Sanabria runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 19. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Market

Eyes on Ezequiel Gerez again

The phone has started ringing about Ezequiel Gerez again, and this time the name on the line is JS Kabylie. Chacarita Juniors are listening politely and promising nothing.

Market

The clock runs on Gonzalo Mottes's contract

49 months left and silence from upstairs — no offer, no talks, nothing for his people to answer. Clubs that let a calendar do their negotiating usually end up negotiating with the calendar.

Match

Chacarita Juniors share the spoils with San Telmo

A 1‑1 draw with San Telmo leaves the dressing room somewhere between relief and regret.
