Squad

A knee injury of the worst kind for Franco Valdez

42 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Central Córdoba SdE lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Squad

Tomás Iturre: 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.” Central Córdoba SdE have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Market

Central Córdoba SdE say no — this time

The offer from Mitre for Walter Reynoso 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.

Player ratings

A brace, and Diego Barrera takes the afternoon — 8.20

There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Diego Barrera provided it, and the 8.20 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

Squad

Alan Aguerre 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 Central Córdoba SdE this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match

Central Córdoba SdE find a way past San Lorenzo

San Lorenzo made Central Córdoba SdE work for it, but the scoreboard read 2‑1 at the end and the table does not ask how.

The terraces

The crowd has taken to Diego Barrera

At 23 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.

Squad

Juan Pablo Pignani falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Player ratings

Ezequiel Naya runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 16. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Lucas Varaldo

“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.

Squad

Fernando Juárez has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Central Córdoba SdE 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.

Player ratings

Jhonatan Lima changes it off the bench

He was not in the side at half past three and he had settled it before five. Half an hour, and Central Córdoba SdE had a different afternoon.

Squad

Tempers go at Central Córdoba SdE

Alan Aguerre 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 ratings

Diego Barrera runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 20. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad

Fernando Martínez 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.

Match

Lucas González the difference as Central Córdoba SdE beat Defensores Unidos

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Lucas González. 1‑0 against Defensores Unidos, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

Squad

Words at Central Córdoba SdE training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Juan Pablo Pignani 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

Home is on Jhonatan Lima's mind

“Some mornings you wake up and you are still a long way from everything you know.” It is not the football and it never was; Central Córdoba SdE are dealing with a man who wants a different country.

Squad

Maximiliano Alaniz damages knee ligaments — 41 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 41 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Match

Central Córdoba SdE sink to position 14

9 points, and a fixture list that is running out. The mathematics are not yet cruel, but they are no longer kind.

Squad

A move Abdel Razack would have made for nothing

There is a version of every career where the player ends up somewhere he chose rather than somewhere that chose him. Abdel Razack is living that version at Central Córdoba SdE, and it tends to show in the first month.

Squad

Tempers go at Central Córdoba SdE

Alan Aguerre 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.

Market

Central Córdoba SdE get their man

The chase for Abdel Razack ended with $68.0K changing hands and Ferro Carril Oeste out of reasons to say no. The supporters will judge the fee the only way that matters: on Saturdays.

Squad

Real improvement from Bautista Cejas at Central Córdoba SdE

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Bautista Cejas is 19, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.
