From our football correspondent Crisis

Squad

Agustín Aguirre keeps the receipts

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

Market

Cerrito come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Boston River did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Market

Business is business: Bruno Antúnez goes

Wolverhampton paid $3.7M and Boston River took it, which is the whole story in one sentence. The longer version involves a wage budget and will be told all season.

Match

4 matches without a win for Boston River

The run now stands at 4, and the questions being asked around Boston River are no longer polite ones.

Squad

Tempers go at Boston River

Leandro Suhr 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.

Match

Boston River come up short against Plaza Colonia

Plaza Colonia left with the points after a 1‑2 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Squad

Rafael Haller 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

Franco Pérez signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Franco Pérez and Boston River agree another 3 years.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Agustín Amado

Successful dribbles: 16. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad

A knee injury of the worst kind for Yair González

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

Market

Sepahan come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Boston River did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Market

Joel Abraham asks to leave Boston River

“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

Tempers go at Boston River

Leandro Suhr 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

Agustín Amado 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.

Loan watch

Francisco Martinicorena wants to come home

“I did not go to La Luz to sit and watch. I want to come back to Boston River and fight for my place.” 5 appearances in 21 matches say the rest.

Squad

A place in the month's best eleven for Iván Román

Four or five weekends of consistency, judged against everybody in the division doing his job. Iván Román has come out of that comparison in the side, and Boston River have had the benefit of every one of those afternoons.

Squad

Yair González has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Boston River will say this on the record and the team sheets have been saying it for weeks. There is a small group in every squad who get picked when the fixture is difficult, and he has joined it.

Match

Boston River and Montevideo City Torque cancel each other out

Nil-nil, and few chances worth the name. Montevideo City Torque came to defend and left with exactly what they came for.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad

Martín Cánepa says Boston River went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Squad

Real improvement from Joel Abraham at Boston River

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Joel Abraham is 21, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Squad

Words at Boston River training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Yair González 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

No hiding place for Francisco Barrios

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

Player ratings

Agustín Amado in the eights

A performance of 8.68 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

Match

Agustín Amado the difference as Boston River beat Progreso

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Agustín Amado. 1‑0 against Progreso, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.
