Player ratings

Pedro Souto beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 28. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Market

Mateo Burgan asks to leave Temperley

“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 Temperley

Gabriel Hauche 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 Temperley training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Franco Díaz 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

Alejandro Melo slips down the pecking order

The demotion a club never announces and a dressing room always notices. Alejandro Melo is further from the side than he was, and the reason will not be given until he asks.

Squad

Player of the month: Nicolás Molina

Four weeks in which nobody in the division did his job better. The award goes on a shelf and the player goes back into the side, which is the order Temperley prefer.

Match

Nicolás Molina rescues a point for Temperley

It needed Nicolás Molina to find the net to bring anything home at all: 1‑1 against Talleres, and half the dressing room will call it a point won.

The dugout

Gerónimo Tomasetti asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

The dugout

Luis Alberto Alonso: “We have to be better”

“It is not the end of the world and it is not good enough. Both of those are true.” The manager, after a 1‑1 draw, said the honest thing and then went to say it again inside.

Market

Lucas Richarte 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 Temperley can pretend not to have heard.

Player ratings

Pedro Souto goes up and wins it — 7.98

A defender on the scoresheet, which happens rarely enough that everybody in the ground remembers who took the corner. 1 for him, and a mark of 7.98 for the rest of it.

Player ratings

Alejandro Melo runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 23. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad

Franco Díaz signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Franco Díaz and Temperley agree another 4 years.

Market

ENPPI come back empty-handed

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

Squad

Tempers go at Temperley

Lucas Angelini 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.

Market

Leandro Lucero has his eye on Europe

It is not a grievance and it is not a demand: he wants to play continental football, and he has stopped hiding it. Whether Temperley can give him that is a question about the club, not about him.

Squad

A row about effort at Temperley

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

Match

Temperley get the job done against Estudiantes

A 3‑1 win over Estudiantes, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.
