Market

Luciano Vallejo 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 Atlético Tucumán can pretend not to have heard.

The dugout

Ezequiel Godoy frozen out at Atlético Tucumán

This is not rotation. Ezequiel Godoy has not been in the manager's plans for some time, and nobody at Atlético Tucumán is pretending otherwise.

Squad

Words exchanged at Atlético Tucumán

Lautaro Godoy 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.

The dugout

Lautaro Godoy 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.

Squad

A row about effort at Atlético Tucumán

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

Squad

Santiago Patroni is a square peg at Atlético Tucumán

The system has changed and his position has not. A footballer can improve his form; he cannot improve the manager’s formation, and that is the whole of the problem.

Squad

Máximo Gómez stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Máximo Gómez and Atlético Tucumán agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

The dugout

Mateo Coronel 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 Atlético Tucumán, and both men came out saying it was fine.

The dugout

Patricio Albornoz has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Atlético Tucumán will say this on the record and the team sheets have been saying it for weeks. There is a small group in every squad who get picked when the fixture is difficult, and he has joined it.

Match

The cup run ends for Atlético Tucumán

0‑1 against Gimnasia La Plata, and the road stops here. Cup exits are quick deaths — no second leg, no next week, just the league from now until May.

Market

Atlético Tucumán turn down Quilmes for Maximiliano Alanís

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Market

Facundo Pimienta 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 Atlético Tucumán, and it is not being withdrawn.

Transfer targets

Facundo Montiel will not be coming to Atlético Tucumán

Terms were offered and declined. Whether it was the wages, the role or the town, nobody at Colegiales is saying, and nobody at Atlético Tucumán is enjoying the guessing.

Market

Nahuel Maldonado is a Atlético Tucumán player

The fee is $210.0K, the contract is signed, and the argument about whether he is worth it can begin. Huracán drove a hard bargain; time will say who won it.

Squad

Tempers go at Atlético Tucumán

Lautaro Godoy 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.

Transfer targets

Güemes tell Atlético Tucumán: Santiago Sala is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

The dugout

No hiding place for Gianluca Ferrari

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

The dugout

Guillermo Abregú frozen out at Atlético Tucumán

This is not rotation. Guillermo Abregú has not been in the manager's plans for some time, and nobody at Atlético Tucumán is pretending otherwise.
