Match27 Mar 2032

Nowhere to hide for General Caballero

1‑4 against Olimpia, and no complaints that would survive the replay. The manager spoke about character afterwards; the terraces used shorter words.

Squad29 Mar 2032

A one-man rearguard from Ángel Espínola

There were 9 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Match29 Mar 2032

General Caballero are in real trouble now

Position 11, 7 points, and a fixture list with fewer games left in it than excuses. The arithmetic is not cruel yet, but it has stopped being kind.

Squad29 Mar 2032

A falling-out at General Caballero

Joaquín Medina and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Boardroom29 Mar 2032

Doors closed at General Caballero

The music was off and the showers ran late. What was said in that dressing room stays there, but Saturday will publish the minutes.

The dugout29 Mar 2032

Santiago Enciso answers for it

“The supporters are entitled to be angry. So am I. We will put it right.” 1‑4, a manager saying the necessary things, and a dressing room that heard a different version of them.

The dugout29 Mar 2032

The manager makes an example of Blas Samudio

“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.

Squad29 Mar 2032

A row about effort at General Caballero

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

Looking ahead29 Mar 2032

Richard Prieto faces his old club

General Diaz next, and one man in the General Caballero dressing room knows their training ground better than his own. The reception will tell him what they thought of him.

Boardroom12 Jan 2032

The scrutiny sharpens at General Caballero

Nobody upstairs has said anything, which is the loudest thing they could do. Results buy silence in this game; the account at General Caballero is running low.

The dugout12 Jan 2032

Mathías Bordón: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” General Caballero have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Market12 Jan 2032

Only the photograph left for Miguel Rojas

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Miguel Rojas will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around General Caballero the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Squad12 Jan 2032

Tempers go at General Caballero

Junior Brítez 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.

Squad12 Jan 2032

A row about effort at General Caballero

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

Transfer targets12 Jan 2032

Door shut on Santiago Almiron

General Caballero asked and Guarani said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

From our football correspondent Crisis

The dugout21 Apr 2031

Hugo Aguilera says General Caballero 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.

Squad21 Apr 2031

Words at General Caballero training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Andrés Cubas 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.

Squad21 Apr 2031

Miguel Rojas signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Miguel Rojas commits to General Caballero for another 1 years.

Squad21 Apr 2031

Joaquín Medina 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 General Caballero this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match19 Apr 2031

General Caballero come up short against Sol de America

Sol de America left with the points after a 0‑1 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

The dugout21 Apr 2031

The manager makes an example of Favio Durán

“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.

The dugout21 Apr 2031

Santiago Enciso faces the questions

“We were not good enough today and I am not going to dress it up.” Santiago Enciso after 0‑1, in the tone of a man who knows the next question and does not intend to answer it.

The dugout21 Apr 2031

A promise honoured at General Caballero

Something was said to Blas Samudio and then it happened. In this industry that passes for remarkable, and the dressing room noticed faster than any supporter could.

Looking ahead21 Apr 2031

Cecilio Domínguez faces his old club

Guarani next, and one man in the General Caballero dressing room knows their training ground better than his own. The reception will tell him what they thought of him.
