Marked for Alejo Comini

Squad1 Mar 2027

The knee: Alejo Comini out for 21 days

21 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. Newell's Old Boys lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

Player ratings1 Mar 2027

Santiago Solari runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 33. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad1 Mar 2027

Words exchanged at Newell's Old Boys

Santiago Solari 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.

Squad1 Mar 2027

Angelo Marchese 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.

Player ratings1 Mar 2027

Martín Ortega will replay that one

1 error, one goal, and a night in front of the same three seconds. He will see it tonight, tomorrow and probably in February, and everybody who has played knows exactly which frame he keeps stopping on.

The dugout1 Mar 2027

The manager has not finished forgetting Martín Ortega's mistake

Publicly it is behind everybody. It is not behind the man who picks the team, and the only place that shows is a team sheet. He will get another chance; he will get it in a match that matters less.

Match27 Feb 2027

Newell's Old Boys share the spoils with Platense

A 1‑1 draw with Platense leaves the dressing room somewhere between relief and regret.

The dugout1 Mar 2027

Sergio De Luca on the point

“A point is a point and I will take it, but we should have had all three.” Sergio De Luca after the 1‑1 draw, and the sentence every manager in the country said at some stage this weekend.

The dugout1 Mar 2027

The manager makes an example of Matías Cóccaro

“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.

Santiago Solari runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 39. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad22 Feb 2027

A knee injury of the worst kind for Alejo Comini

28 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Newell's Old Boys lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Player ratings22 Feb 2027

Valentino Acuña, 21, plays like he has been here for years — 8.00

A mark of 8.00 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 21-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.

Squad22 Feb 2027

Words exchanged at Newell's Old Boys

Ignacio Ramírez 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.

Squad22 Feb 2027

Words at Newell's Old Boys training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Santiago Solari 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.

The terraces22 Feb 2027

The crowd has taken to Valentino Acuña

At 21 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.

Match20 Feb 2027

Valentino Acuña the difference as Newell's Old Boys beat Vélez

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Valentino Acuña. 2‑0 against Vélez, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

Squad22 Feb 2027

Too much change too quickly at Newell's Old Boys

7 signings in three months. Every one of them may be an upgrade and the team can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild that never appears in the transfer-window verdicts.

The dugout22 Feb 2027

Agustín Lavezzi 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.

In brief

  • The dugout Luca Regiardo gets picked when it counts
  • Market The Lucas Carrizo talk will not go away

Squad15 Feb 2027

Alejo Comini 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.

The dugout15 Feb 2027

Ian Glavinovich: 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.” Newell's Old Boys have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Player ratings15 Feb 2027

A defender's goal wins it for Newell's Old Boys — 7.61

1 for Santiago Cáseres, marked 7.61, and a centre-half's name in the part of the report he normally only reaches by mistake. He will not be allowed to forget it in the dressing room for a month.

Squad15 Feb 2027

Santiago Solari 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 Newell's Old Boys this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

The dugout15 Feb 2027

No hiding place for Gabriel Arias

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Gabriel Arias, and the manager let it.

Player ratings15 Feb 2027

One of those days for Walter Mazzantti

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.13, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Match13 Feb 2027

Instituto snatch it back from Newell's Old Boys

A goal on 89 minutes turned three points into one and a good afternoon into an argument about game management that will run until Saturday.

Match13 Feb 2027

Newell's Old Boys and Instituto take a point apiece

It finished 3‑3, and it somehow always looked like it would. One of those afternoons where the table moves less than the tempers.

Player ratings15 Feb 2027

Nobody could get near Jherson Mosquera

Successful dribbles: 15. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.
