Lucas Chavez: 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.” Independiente have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Squad13 Sep 2027

Independiente count the cost of losing Luciano Cabral

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

Squad13 Sep 2027

Rodrigo Rey 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 Independiente this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Julián Scafati has one foot out of the door

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

Match11 Sep 2027

Diego Herazo the difference as Independiente beat Gimnasia y Esgrima

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Diego Herazo. 2‑1 against Gimnasia y Esgrima, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

Kevin Lomónaco in the eights

A performance of 8.62 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

Diego Herazo in the eights

A performance of 8.24 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

Squad13 Sep 2027

Kevin Lomónaco is carrying Independiente

7 goals and a season average of 7.31. Form like that gets noticed well beyond this town.

Player ratings13 Sep 2027

Lucas Ríos runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 17. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

From our football correspondent Upbeat

Squad9 Aug 2027

Carlos Palacios says Boca Juniors 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.

A defender's afternoon for Ayrton Costa

Defensive actions: 29. He was first to everything and second to nothing, and the goalkeeper had an easy day because of it.

A defender's afternoon for Santiago Ascacíbar

Defensive actions: 28. He was first to everything and second to nothing, and the goalkeeper had an easy day because of it.

Market9 Aug 2027

Astana come back empty-handed

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

Squad9 Aug 2027

Tempers go at Boca Juniors

Alan Velasco 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.

Market9 Aug 2027

Only the photograph left for Matías Calegari

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Matías Calegari will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Boca Juniors the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Squad9 Aug 2027

Leandro Brey signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Leandro Brey and Boca Juniors agree another 4 years.

Alan Velasco in the eights

A performance of 9.09 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

Squad9 Aug 2027

Alan Velasco gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Ignacio Díaz attracts admirers

The name of Ignacio Díaz has come up in conversations Independiente were not part of. Nothing formal, nothing signed — but nothing about it accidental either.

Squad28 Jun 2027

Gonzalo Bordón signs on for more

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

Loan watch28 Jun 2027

Martín Leal has seen enough of Pakhtakor

“I am grateful for the games, but I did not become a footballer to be somebody else's spare part.” He wants to be at Independiente, and 3 appearances in 21 say he has earned the hearing.

Squad28 Jun 2027

Lautaro Millán knocks on the manager’s door

“Thirty minutes, door closed, everything said. We shook hands after.” Whatever was in the room stayed in the room, and Lautaro Millán trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.
