Squad

The knee: Agustin Garcia out for 25 days

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

Squad

Diego Ftacla signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Diego Ftacla commits to Artigas for another 1 years.

Squad

A falling-out at Artigas

Rodrigo Pastorini and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Squad

Franco Martínez 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.

Boardroom

Wages swallow 96% of the Artigas income

Every club pays most of what it earns to its players. Paying nearly all of it is a different arrangement, and it has ended the same way every time it has been tried.

Market

Artigas bring in an old head

Rodrigo Cabrera is 37 and has run out of things to prove. What he has left is where to stand, when to slow it down and what to say at half-time, and none of that is on a fitness chart.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Deyvin Maciera

“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.

The dugout

A door opens for Rodrigo Pastorini

He asked about his future and was given an answer with minutes in it. The manager has now made a promise in a building where promises are remembered, and the clock on it has started.

Market

Camilo Núñez joins Artigas on a free

No fee and no drama: Camilo Núñez has signed at Artigas, and the wage bill is the only line that moved.

In brief

  • The dugout Federico Viera knocks on the manager’s door
  • The dugout Luiz keeps his manager's vote

From our football correspondent Crisis

Squad

8 saves: Luiz was the team

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the whole of the defence. 8 saves, several of them the kind nobody expects to see made, and ten outfield players who owe him a drink.

Squad

Diego Ftacla signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Diego Ftacla commits to Artigas for another 1 years.

Squad

Words exchanged at Artigas

Rodrigo Pastorini and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Market

Andres Hernandez steps up from the Artigas academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Andres Hernandez has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

Market

One of our own: Santiago Pellistri joins the Artigas first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Santiago Pellistri is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Market

Artigas promote Brian Cabrera from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Brian Cabrera has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Market

Artigas promote Ivan Coates from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Ivan Coates has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Match

Deportivo Maldonado take the points off Artigas

Beaten 0‑1, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Squad

This league is too small for Rodrigo Pastorini

He is doing things on a Saturday afternoon that nobody around him can answer, which is flattering for about one season and a problem after that. Artigas will not keep him by pretending otherwise.

In brief

  • The dugout The manager’s verdict
  • The dugout Deyvin Maciera gets it from the manager
  • The dugout Octavio Pereira knocks on the manager’s door
