Squad18 Nov 2030

A fracture rules Ignacio Huanca out for 17 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Banfield will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Squad18 Nov 2030

Words exchanged at Banfield

Diego Rodríguez 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.

A row about effort at Banfield

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

The dugout18 Nov 2030

Ulises Piedrabuena 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 Ulises Piedrabuena trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.

Market18 Nov 2030

The Rodrigo Auzmendi talk will not go away

Another week, another link, another denial nobody quite believes. Banfield know the market decides these things, not the back pages — but the back pages are louder.

The dugout18 Nov 2030

The manager makes an example of Miguel Feliu

“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.

Market18 Nov 2030

No place for Uriel Monzón in the plan

“The manager did not use many words, and he did not need to.” Uriel Monzón has his answer from Banfield; what he does with it is the next window’s story.

The dugout18 Nov 2030

Anderson Acevedo gets picked when it counts

Every manager keeps a short list in his head of the men he wants on the pitch when the stakes rise, and it is never published. The team sheets for the big afternoons say Anderson Acevedo is on it.

Squad18 Nov 2030

Tomás Adoryan goes off with his country

A call-up flatters the player and the club that produced him in the same breath. Banfield would like him back in one piece and know they will not be consulted.

Squad12 Aug 2030

Defences have started doubling up on Ian Subiabre

26 goals and a season average of 7.86 will do that. The space he used to find has gone; he keeps scoring anyway, which is the mark of the real thing.

Match10 Aug 2030

Banfield let it slip despite Ian Subiabre

Ian Subiabre had done his part in building a 2-goal cushion. What happened after that was collective, and Atlético Tucumán were allowed back into a match that had been finished with.

Player ratings12 Aug 2030

A brace, and Ian Subiabre takes the afternoon — 9.52

There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Ian Subiabre provided it, and the 9.52 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

The dugout12 Aug 2030

Emiliano Zacca says Banfield 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.

Squad12 Aug 2030

Ian Subiabre signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Ian Subiabre and Banfield agree another 5 years.

Market12 Aug 2030

Only the photograph left for Rafa

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Rafa will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Banfield the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Squad12 Aug 2030

Tempers go at Banfield

Diego Rodríguez 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.

Match10 Aug 2030

Banfield leaking at the back

5 matches, two or more conceded in every one of them. Sides that create as much as this can live with it for a while. Nobody lives with it forever.

Uriel Monzón arrives at the club he grew up with

Every footballer has an answer to the question about his boyhood club, and most of them never get to act on it. Uriel Monzón has, at Banfield, and the first month will show what that does to a man.
