Squad

Elías Ocampo damages knee ligaments — 80 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 80 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.

Market

Only the photograph left for Galo Vijande

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Galo Vijande will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Rosario Central the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Squad

Giovanni Cantizano 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 Rosario Central this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Rosario Central count the cost of losing Alan Rodríguez

17 days, the scan says, and scans are kinder than reality. The fixtures in that window have just become somebody else’s job.

Squad

Maximiliano Lovera 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.

Match

Luca Martínez Dupuy rescues a point for Rosario Central

It needed Luca Martínez Dupuy to find the net to bring anything home at all: 1‑1 against Boca Juniors, and half the dressing room will call it a point won.

The terraces

The spotlight tightens on Maximiliano Lovera

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

Luca Martínez Dupuy runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 12. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Player ratings

Off the pace: Maximiliano Lovera

A mark of 5.64 tells the story without any need for embellishment. He will want the tape of this one quietly lost.

Match

Every point is an argument now for Rosario Central

Position 15 and 10 points, and the table gets read bottom-up in this part of town. The calendar has stopped being a schedule and started being a countdown.

Market

Jaminton Campaz puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Rosario Central, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad

Alejo Veliz says Rosario Central 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.
