Squad

A knee injury of the worst kind for Franco Fernandez

29 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Juventud lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Player ratings

A brace, and Juan Marcoccia takes the afternoon — 8.76

There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Juan Marcoccia provided it, and the 8.76 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

Squad

Martín Bertola: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Juventud have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Player ratings

Age has not caught Diego Méndez yet — 8.38

At 35 he is supposed to be managing his minutes. Instead he was marked 8.38 and looked, for ninety minutes, exactly like the player everybody remembers.

Squad

Lautaro Codina is in the form of his life

A season average of 7.52 with 15 goals behind it. Opponents have started planning around him, which is the sincerest compliment football pays.

Boardroom

Facundo Feo signs for Rentistas while still at Juventud

The rules permit it and it stings anyway. Facundo Feo has agreed terms with Rentistas for the summer, and until then he pulls on this shirt as a player who has already chosen his next one.

Squad

David Morosini 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 Juventud this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match

Juan Marcoccia sends Juventud past Danubio

It finished 3‑2, and it was Juan Marcoccia’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Juventud.

Player ratings

Lautaro Codina in the eights

A performance of 9.01 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

Squad

Franco Fernandez damages knee ligaments — 37 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 37 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Match

Juventud up to position 1

54 points on the board and a place in the leading group. Nobody at the ground is saying the word out loud yet.

Squad

Lucas Quimbo stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Lucas Quimbo and Juventud agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad

Rodrigo Chagas 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 Juventud this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Market

Facundo Feo is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Juventud is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Squad

Words at Juventud training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. David Morosini 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.

Match

A bad afternoon for Juventud against Liverpool Montevideo

0‑1 to Liverpool Montevideo, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Player ratings

Fabricio Roldán runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 17. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Market

The Juan Marcoccia question follows Juventud around

Every press conference now starts and ends the same way: with Juan Marcoccia’s future. The manager has run out of new ways to say nothing.

In brief
