From our football correspondent Crisis

Market

Ivo Mammini 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 Gimnasia La Plata can pretend not to have heard.

Match

No end in sight to Gimnasia La Plata's wait for a win

5 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Gimnasia La Plata has to find a result from somewhere.

Squad

Ignacio Segovia says Gimnasia La Plata went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Squad

Marcelo Torres 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 Gimnasia La Plata this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match

A bad afternoon for Gimnasia La Plata against Banfield

1‑2 to Banfield, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Squad

No hiding place for Alexis Steimbach

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

Player ratings

A masterclass from Marcelo Torres

Marked 8.15 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.

Loan watch

Lautaro Napolitano wants to come home

“I did not go to Lanús to sit and watch. I want to come back to Gimnasia La Plata and fight for my place.” 2 appearances in 17 matches say the rest.

Player ratings

Lucas Castro's mistake decides it

Ten men and a goalkeeper behind him, and it still finished in the net. He knew before anybody told him, and nobody at Gimnasia La Plata needed to.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad

Ignacio Segovia says Gimnasia La Plata went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Match

The wait goes on for Gimnasia La Plata

4 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Nicolás Barros Schelotto

Successful dribbles: 23. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad

Tempers go at Gimnasia La Plata

Maximiliano Zalazar 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

One of those days for Marcelo Torres

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.16, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Squad

Nelson Insfrán 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.

Loan watch

Lautaro Napolitano counts the days

“I watch every Gimnasia La Plata game from here. That says everything about where my head is.” The loan at Lanús runs its course, but his heart never made the trip.

Squad

Agustín Auzmendi 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

Marcelo Torres rescues a point for Gimnasia La Plata

It needed Marcelo Torres to find the net to bring anything home at all: 1‑1 against Belgrano, and half the dressing room will call it a point won.
