Squad

A knee injury of the worst kind for Luca Cura

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

Market

Cristian Zabala 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 The request is on a desk at Sarmiento, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad

Words at Sarmiento training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Mauricio Martínez 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

Words exchanged at Sarmiento

Carlos Villalba 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.

The dugout

Lucas Girotti has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Sarmiento 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

The Yair Arismendi talk will not go away

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

The dugout

Francisco Razzeto 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 Francisco Razzeto trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.

Market

Sarmiento put Brandon Márquez up for sale

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

Match

Cristian Zabala wins it after the whistle should have gone

91 minutes played. Cristian Zabala found the finish in time that only existed because of earlier delays, and Chacarita Juniors went from a point to nothing inside one movement.

Player ratings

Both of them Cristian Zabala's — 8.30

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.30, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Player ratings

Santiago Salle was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 28. 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

Agustín Nadruz 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 Sarmiento, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad

A move David Véliz 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. David Véliz is living that version at Sarmiento, and it tends to show in the first month.

Squad

Words at Sarmiento training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Gabriel Díaz 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.

Match

Cristian Zabala the difference as Sarmiento beat Chacarita Juniors

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Cristian Zabala. 2‑1 against Chacarita Juniors, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

Squad

Words exchanged at Sarmiento

Thiago Bustos 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

Sarmiento ask about Harry Souttar

A loan enquiry to Leicester City: cover, or a look at somebody the club cannot afford to buy yet. Either way the answer will come back inside the week.
