Squad

A row about effort at Central Espanol

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

The dugout

Isaac Méndez 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

When it matters, Facundo Sosa plays

It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.

The dugout

The manager makes Máximo Alonso a promise

Nothing in writing and nothing in public: a word about playing time, given face to face at Central Espanol. The team sheets over the next month will show whether it was worth having.

Market

Central Espanol put Fernando Camarda up for sale

The list is a quiet document with a loud meaning. Fernando Camarda may talk to anybody who asks, and everybody at the club understands what that means.

Squad

Fernando Camarda is not doing himself any favours

A manager forgives a bad Saturday far more readily than a bad Tuesday, because one of them he can explain and the other one he chose. The reports this week have not been good.
