Market18 Jun 2029

Branco Salinardi has said yes to Belgrano

The last thing about a transfer that is still about the player is his signature on his own terms, and it is there. San Lorenzo have lost him in all but the paperwork.

Market18 Jun 2029

Azael D'Alessandro turns Güemes down

“It was not right for me. I am not going to explain why to anybody except the people I owe an explanation to.” A deal agreed between two clubs, and a player who declined to be part of it.

The dugout18 Jun 2029

Manuel Insaurralde says San Lorenzo 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.

Market18 Jun 2029

Valentín Escalante asks to leave San Lorenzo

“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.

Market18 Jun 2029

Estudiantes come back empty-handed

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

Squad18 Jun 2029

Alexis Cuello 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 San Lorenzo this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad18 Jun 2029

A row about effort at San Lorenzo

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Matías Reali was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

The dugout18 Jun 2029

The manager makes an example of Daniel Herrera

“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.

Squad18 Jun 2029

Axel Isla stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Axel Isla and San Lorenzo agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Market11 Jun 2029

Facundo Bruera agrees terms with Rosario Central

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

Match6 Jun 2029

San Lorenzo bow out of the cup

Instituto go through and San Lorenzo go home, 2‑2 the scoreline that did it. The dressing room will call the league the priority now, because that is what dressing rooms say.

Market11 Jun 2029

José Devecchi 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 San Lorenzo, and it is not being withdrawn.

The dugout11 Jun 2029

José Devecchi keeps the receipts

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

Player ratings11 Jun 2029

A brace, and Branco Salinardi takes the afternoon — 8.67

There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Branco Salinardi provided it, and the 8.67 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

Squad11 Jun 2029

Facundo Altamirano wins the shoot-out

1 kept out from twelve yards, and a stadium that will describe each of them for twenty years. A goalkeeper needs one night like this in a career, and this was it.

Player ratings11 Jun 2029

Nobody could get near Federico Álvarez

Successful dribbles: 29. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Market11 Jun 2029

Axel Isla turns San Martín down

“It was not right for me. I am not going to explain why to anybody except the people I owe an explanation to.” A deal agreed between two clubs, and a player who declined to be part of it.

Market11 Jun 2029

Defensor Sporting come back empty-handed

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