Daniel Abello 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 Mitre can pretend not to have heard.

Ignacio Pietrobono 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 Mitre this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Juan Alessandroni 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.

Market

Facundo Ledesma asks to leave Mitre

“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.

Squad

8 seasons of Franco Ferrari

360 appearances across 8 seasons in these colours. Careers like that are not built any more, and Mitre know what they have.

Squad

Tempers go at Mitre

Ignacio Pietrobono 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.

Squad

Words at Mitre training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Gonzalo Valdivia 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

The manager makes an example of Marcos Machado

“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.

Market

Mitre and Matías Batule are talking past each other

“There is a gap, and pretending there is not helps nobody.” Neither side has moved, and the calendar is working for exactly one of them.
