Luciano Pérez 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 Platense this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

One of our own: Jonathan Sanchez joins the Platense first team
Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Jonathan Sanchez is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

No hiding place for Facundo Folena
“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Facundo Folena, and the manager let it.

Platense refuse to lose to Huracan Buceo
A point taken on 92 minutes is worth exactly one point and considerably more than that to a dressing room. This side does not stop, which is a reputation worth more than the result.

Luciano Pérez was unplayable
Successful dribbles: 17. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

Platense and Juan José Contreras are talking past each other
“There is a gap, and pretending there is not helps nobody.” Neither side has moved, and the calendar is working for exactly one of them.

Honours even between Platense and Huracan Buceo
2‑2, and both dressing rooms will call it two points lost. A draw that asked plenty of questions and answered none of them.

Francisco Montero signs on for more
“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Francisco Montero and Platense agree another 4 years.

A long bet from Platense on Ezequiel Martínez
He is 20, and nobody at Platense signed him for this season. Deals like this are judged in four years, by people who may not still be in the building.
