The silence upstairs is getting loud at Madryn
Nobody on the board has said anything against the manager, which is the point — they have stopped saying anything for him either.

Juan Peinipil 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 Madryn can pretend not to have heard.

Only the photograph left for Diego Martínez
Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Diego Martínez will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Madryn the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Yvo Calleros in a row with a teammate

Nobody could get near Bruno Pérez
Successful dribbles: 18. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Matías Montero 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.
Match22 Jul 2028
Madryn and San Martín take a point apiece
It finished 1‑1, and it somehow always looked like it would. One of those afternoons where the table moves less than the tempers.

Adriano 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.
