From our football correspondent Uneasy

Market

Leonardo Olavarría 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 The request is on a desk at Uruguay Montevideo, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad

A falling-out at Uruguay Montevideo

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

Market

Francisco Martinicorena attracts admirers

The name of Francisco Martinicorena has come up in conversations Uruguay Montevideo were not part of. Nothing formal, nothing signed — but nothing about it accidental either.

Squad

A row about effort at Uruguay Montevideo

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

The dugout

Lucas Ymbert 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.

The dugout

Matías Rigoleto 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 Matías Rigoleto trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.

The dugout

Lucas Ymbert has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Uruguay Montevideo 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.

Market

Uruguay Montevideo put Fausto Rivero up for sale

The list is a quiet document with a loud meaning. Fausto Rivero may talk to anybody who asks, and everybody at the club understands what that means.

Squad

Mateo Pisso 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

A fracture rules Mathías Goyeni out for 16 days

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

Player ratings

Sebastián Camacho scores twice — 9.05

Two goals and a mark of 9.05 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Market

Esteban Rodríguez asks to leave Uruguay Montevideo

“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.

The dugout

Mateo Pisso keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Uruguay Montevideo may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Squad

Words exchanged at Uruguay Montevideo

Mathías Abero 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.

Transfer targets

Uruguay Montevideo rebuffed over Pedro Ramallo

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Albion have kept their man, and Uruguay Montevideo go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Squad

A row about effort at Uruguay Montevideo

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

The terraces

The crowd has taken to Sebastián Camacho

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.

Match

Uruguay Montevideo rescue it on 89 minutes

Behind, and beaten by any honest reading, until minute 89. Colon had the points in their pocket and a corner of the ground still believed, which is generally when it happens.

Squad

Mateo Pisso out for 22 days

The medical room confirms 22 days on the sidelines for Mateo Pisso, and a plan built around him now has to be rebuilt.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Matías Rigoleto

“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

Tempers go at Uruguay Montevideo

Sebastián Medina 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

Mateo Pisso out for 52 days

The medical room confirms 52 days on the sidelines for Mateo Pisso, and a plan built around him now has to be rebuilt.

A row about effort at Uruguay Montevideo

Squad

A knee injury of the worst kind for Facundo Silvestre

32 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Uruguay Montevideo lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Squad

Mathías Abero 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 Uruguay Montevideo this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Maximiliano Lombardi signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Maximiliano Lombardi commits to Uruguay Montevideo for another 2 years.

Squad

Words exchanged at Uruguay Montevideo

Mathías Abero 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.

Match

Uruguay Montevideo come up short against La Luz

La Luz left with the points after a 1‑2 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

The dugout

Mateo Pisso 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.

Market

Uruguay Montevideo and Sebastián Camacho are talking past each other

“There is a gap, and pretending there is not helps nobody.” Neither side has moved, and the calendar is working for exactly one of them.

Market

36 months and counting on Matías Rigoleto

Still no offer on the table, and Matías Rigoleto’s deal keeps shrinking. In boardroom language, silence this long stops being an oversight and starts being an answer.

Squad

A row about effort at Uruguay Montevideo

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

Squad

18 new faces, and Uruguay Montevideo are still learning each other

A squad rebuilt inside one window pays for it in a currency nobody budgets for. The football is not worse than the sum of the players; it is worse than the sum of the players who have played together before.

The dugout

Thiago Bentancur: “No excuses”

“I could talk about decisions and I could talk about luck. I will not. We lost.” The manager, 1‑2, and a press conference that lasted four minutes.
