Match24 Jan 2028

Cerrito sink to position 14

23 points, and a fixture list that is running out. The mathematics are not yet cruel, but they are no longer kind.

Words at Cerrito training over how hard people work

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

No hiding place for Mateo Ayres

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

Squad24 Jan 2028

Words exchanged at Cerrito

Martín Bertola 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.

Mateo Ayres gets picked when it counts

Every manager keeps a short list in his head of the men he wants on the pitch when the stakes rise, and it is never published. The team sheets for the big afternoons say Mateo Ayres is on it.

Santiago Viera knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Cerrito, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Market2 Aug 2027

Mateo Acosta agrees terms with Platense

The clubs have settled the fee and he has settled his wages. What remains is a medical and a photograph, and around Wanderers people have started saying his name in the past tense.

Market2 Aug 2027

Santiago Benítez has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Wanderers they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Boardroom2 Aug 2027

Wanderers to lose Martín Bertola for free

There is no worse way to lose a footballer. Martín Bertola has pre-agreed a move away, which means every appearance between now and June is made by a man the club can no longer sell, and somebody upstairs will be asked why the contract was allowed to get here.

Squad2 Aug 2027

Matías Vecino 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 Wanderers this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Market2 Aug 2027

Wanderers may not be able to give Raúl Lozano what he wants

It is the most legitimate ambition in the sport and the hardest for most clubs to satisfy. Raúl Lozano wants continental football; whether Wanderers can provide it is a question about the next two seasons, not about him.

Transfer targets2 Aug 2027

No deal for Joaquín Muñoz at that price

Wanderers offered $84.0K; Rampla Juniors said it was not close. The manager will be told the money is still there for the right player, which is what managers are told.

Squad2 Aug 2027

Raúl Lozano signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Raúl Lozano commits to Wanderers for another 4 years.

Match31 Jul 2027

Wanderers see off Rampla Juniors

Three points for Wanderers, 2‑1 the final word against Rampla Juniors in a contest settled by the finer margins.

The terraces2 Aug 2027

One of their own: Jonás Luna

He is 22 and the ground already sings his name, which is a thing that happens to local boys and almost never to signings. Everything from here is measured against an affection he did nothing to earn except be from here.
