Marked for Thiago Ocampo

Market

Only the photograph left for Thiago Ocampo

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Thiago Ocampo will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Nueva Chicago the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Market

Leonel Ortíz turns Aswan down

“It was not right for me. I am not going to explain why to anybody except the people I owe an explanation to.” A deal agreed between two clubs, and a player who declined to be part of it.

Market

Nueva Chicago turn down Persik for Gonzalo Trindade

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

Squad

Tempers go at Nueva Chicago

Dylan Gissi 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

A row about effort at Nueva Chicago

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

The dugout

No hiding place for Matías Bergara

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

Market

The Matías Bergara talk will not go away

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

The dugout

Matías Romero has been promised minutes

A conversation in the manager’s office, and a commitment that came out of it. Promises like that are cheap to make and expensive to break, and Matías Romero has written the date down.

Squad

Pocho is not doing himself any favours

A manager forgives a bad Saturday far more readily than a bad Tuesday, because one of them he can explain and the other one he chose. The reports this week have not been good.

Squad

Emiliano Méndez breaks a bone — 28 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 28 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Market

Thiago Ocampo agrees terms with Arsenal

The clubs have settled the fee and he has settled his wages. What remains is a medical and a photograph, and around Nueva Chicago people have started saying his name in the past tense.

Squad

Words at Nueva Chicago training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Luciano Jachfe 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

A falling-out at Nueva Chicago

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

Loan watch

Leonel Ortíz wants to come home

“I did not go to Alashkert to sit and watch. I want to come back to Nueva Chicago and fight for my place.” 0 appearances in 13 matches say the rest.

The dugout

No hiding place for Gonzalo Trindade

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

Market

Agustín Farías is free to find somewhere else

“I was told straight, and I would rather have it straight.” The manager at Nueva Chicago has been clear about where Agustín Farías stands, which is more than many ever get.

The dugout

Sebastián Cocimano 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 Nueva Chicago, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Market

The Luciano Jachfe story refuses to die

It has been denied twice and printed three times, which is the usual arithmetic. Until Luciano Jachfe signs something — a contract at Nueva Chicago or anywhere else — this column belongs to him.

From our football correspondent Steady

Squad

Emiliano Méndez breaks a bone — 126 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 126 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Player ratings

Lucas Ambrogio was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 38. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

Market

Nueva Chicago say no — this time

The offer from Sokol for Matías Bergara was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Squad

Tempers go at Nueva Chicago

Dylan Gissi 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

A row about effort at Nueva Chicago

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

The dugout

Sebastián Cocimano 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

Too much change too quickly at Nueva Chicago

22 signings in three months. Every one of them may be an upgrade and the team can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild that never appears in the transfer-window verdicts.

The dugout

Nueva Chicago pick somebody else ahead of Thiago Ocampo

There is no complaint available here and everybody involved knows it, which does not make the walk to the bench any shorter. Form is the only currency in football that cannot be borrowed against.

The dugout

The manager’s verdict

“I am frustrated, honestly. We did enough to win and we did not win.” Carlos Alberto Ramírez was not hiding it after 0‑0, and nobody in the Nueva Chicago dressing room was either.
