Market15 Jul 2030

Modibo Traoré asks to leave Plaza Colonia

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Squad15 Jul 2030

Tempers go at Plaza Colonia

Tomás Viera 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.

Player ratings15 Jul 2030

Pablo García in the eights

A performance of 10.00 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

Match13 Jul 2030

Plaza Colonia see off Wanderers

Three points for Plaza Colonia, 3‑2 the final word against Wanderers in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Market15 Jul 2030

Henry Rochón attracts admirers

The name of Henry Rochón has come up in conversations Plaza Colonia were not part of. Nothing formal, nothing signed — but nothing about it accidental either.

Squad15 Jul 2030

Henry Rochón lets one through his hands

A defender's mistake gets tidied up by somebody else; a goalkeeper's ends up in the net. He knew before the ball crossed the line, and so did everybody in the ground.

Player ratings15 Jul 2030

One of those days for Román Gutiérrez

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 9.03, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Squad15 Jul 2030

The manager makes an example of Ivan Čović

“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.

Squad15 Jul 2030

Plaza Colonia lose Facundo Bacci

14 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.

From our football correspondent Crisis

Market2 Apr 2029

Natanael Guzmán 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 Plaza Colonia can pretend not to have heard.

Squad2 Apr 2029

Tempers go at Plaza Colonia

Sebastián Driussi 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.

Player ratings2 Apr 2029

Nobody could get near Lucas Carrizo

Successful dribbles: 21. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad2 Apr 2029

No hiding place for Juan Pablo Hernández

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

Match31 Mar 2029

Plaza Colonia come up short against River Plate

River Plate left with the points after a 0‑1 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Squad2 Apr 2029

Juan Pablo Hernández named player of the month

The award goes to Juan Pablo Hernández, and nobody around here is inclined to argue with the choice.

Squad2 Apr 2029

The armband comes off Pablo García

Plaza Colonia will explain it as a decision about the team, and it may well be one. A dressing room has never once read it that way.

The terraces2 Apr 2029

The spotlight tightens on Álvaro López

Every touch is being weighed now, in print and everywhere else. Some players grow into that and some are quietly ruined by it, and nobody knows which in advance.

Player ratings2 Apr 2029

Off the pace: Natanael Guzmán

A mark of 5.44 tells the story without any need for embellishment. He will want the tape of this one quietly lost.

Squad1 Jan 2029

Axel Pérez is named among the best

There are footballers who have a good season and footballers a season is remembered for, and the second kind get their names read out in a hall in the summer. Fenix will be quietly delighted and privately nervous.

Market1 Jan 2029

Fenix say no — this time

The offer from Albion for Ramiro Bertalmio 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.

Squad1 Jan 2029

Tempers go at Fenix

Bryan Olivera 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.

Squad1 Jan 2029

The manager makes an example of Maximiliano Martínez

“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.

Squad1 Jan 2029

The armband comes off Bryan Olivera

Fenix will explain it as a decision about the team, and it may well be one. A dressing room has never once read it that way.

Market1 Jan 2029

The Guillermo Pereira talk will not go away

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

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Boardroom1 Jan 2029

The scrutiny sharpens at Plaza Colonia

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

Market1 Jan 2029

Only the photograph left for Nicolás Garayalde

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Nicolás Garayalde will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Plaza Colonia the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Market1 Jan 2029

Valentín Amoroso 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 Plaza Colonia can pretend not to have heard.

Market1 Jan 2029

Eyes on Lucas Carrizo again

The phone has started ringing about Lucas Carrizo again, and this time the name on the line is Oriental. Plaza Colonia are listening politely and promising nothing.

Squad1 Jan 2029

Sebastián Driussi 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 Plaza Colonia this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Market1 Jan 2029

Plaza Colonia sign Facundo Bacci, one for the future

Facundo Bacci is 19, and Plaza Colonia have signed him for the player he will be rather than the one he is. The first team can wait; the point of a deal like this is the years it buys.

In brief
