Squad

3 goals for Elías de León

The match ball belongs to Elías de León, whose 3 goals turned a difficult afternoon into a procession.

The dugout

Joaquín Santos keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Deportivo Maldonado may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Transfer targets

Fee done, terms next for Mateo Ibarra

Deportivo Maldonado and Defensor Sporting have settled on $72.0K. The rest belongs to the player and his agent, and a supporter who has watched one of these before knows not to buy the shirt yet.

Market

Lucas Ibarra asks to leave Deportivo Maldonado

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Transfer targets

Jean Galindo is a medical away from Deportivo Maldonado

The deal with Guidonia Montecelio is done in every sense but the one that puts him on the pitch. Nothing goes wrong at this stage, except on the occasions when it does.

Squad

Tempers go at Deportivo Maldonado

Elías de León 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.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Bruno Centeno

Successful dribbles: 21. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Transfer targets

Door shut on Francisco Coirolo

Deportivo Maldonado asked and Nacional said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Player ratings

Elías de León was on a different afternoon to everybody else

9.51. There are performances a supporter describes to somebody who was not there and cannot quite convey; this was one, and the number does not help either.

Market

Joaquín Varela has said yes to Borneo

The last thing about a transfer that is still about the player is his signature on his own terms, and it is there. Deportivo Maldonado have lost him in all but the paperwork.

Market

Only the photograph left for Bruno Centeno

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Bruno Centeno will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Deportivo Maldonado the goodbyes have quietly begun.

The dugout

Tiago Ibarra keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Deportivo Maldonado may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Transfer targets

Facundo Machado is a medical away from Deportivo Maldonado

The deal with Racing is done in every sense but the one that puts him on the pitch. Nothing goes wrong at this stage, except on the occasions when it does.

Market

Felipe Bianchi hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Deportivo Maldonado can pretend not to have heard.

Match

No end in sight to Deportivo Maldonado's wait for a win

4 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Deportivo Maldonado has to find a result from somewhere.

Squad

Words exchanged at Deportivo Maldonado

Elías de León 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.

Squad

Words at Deportivo Maldonado training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Matías Espíndola 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

Gerónimo Govea signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Gerónimo Govea and Deportivo Maldonado agree another 4 years.
