Squad

Tempers go at Platense

Alan Lescano 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.

Market

Fausto San Pedro attracts admirers

The name of Fausto San Pedro has come up in conversations Platense were not part of. Nothing formal, nothing signed — but nothing about it accidental either.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Juan Saborido

“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.

Squad

Mauro Luna Diale: 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.” Platense have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Squad

Matías Borgogno 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 Platense this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Player ratings

Leonardo Heredia runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 22. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Match

A bad afternoon for Platense against Central Córdoba SdE

1‑3 to Central Córdoba SdE, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Squad

Juan Saborido 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.

Squad

Platense lose Tomás Mena

14 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.

The terraces

The spotlight tightens on Matías Borgogno

Every touch is being weighed now, in print and everywhere else. Some players grow into that and some are quietly ruined by it, and nobody knows which in advance.

Player ratings

Tomás Nasif keeps on missing

Shots: 12, not one of them in. A centre forward is paid for one thing, and on this evidence he has forgotten which thing it is.

Player ratings

A day to forget for Juan Saborido

Marked 5.71, and generously at that. Nothing came off, and by the end the crowd had stopped expecting it to.
