From our football correspondent Uneasy

Boardroom6 Dec 2027

River Plate spell it out for Rodrigo Silva

The board’s statement ran to three sentences and one of them mentioned results. Rodrigo Silva has managed long enough to translate: win soon, or the next statement is shorter.

Market6 Dec 2027

Agustín Dávila 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 The request is on a desk at River Plate, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad6 Dec 2027

Leandro Azurez keeps the receipts

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

Squad6 Dec 2027

Francisco Triver is the real thing at 21

A season average of 7.20 at an age when most of his year group are still in the youth team. River Plate know what they have, and so, by now, does everybody else.

Squad6 Dec 2027

Pablo Viudez 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 River Plate this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad6 Dec 2027

Mauricio Gómez in trouble away from the ground

Every paper's favourite story and every manager's least. What happened is being dealt with internally, which is the phrase clubs use when they would rather nobody asked again.

Loan watch6 Dec 2027

Gerónimo Blanco wants to come home

“I did not go to Rampla Juniors to sit and watch. I want to come back to River Plate and fight for my place.” 6 appearances in 48 matches say the rest.

Market6 Dec 2027

Santiago Romero told to find a new club

“They were honest with me, and I would rather know.” Santiago Romero has been informed he is not in the manager's thinking at River Plate.

Boardroom6 Dec 2027

River Plate pull $2.4M back off the table

The money that was there in the summer is not there now. Nobody upstairs calls this a change of ambition, and everybody downstairs reads it as one.

Market9 Aug 2027

Pablo Viudez 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 The request is on a desk at River Plate, and it is not being withdrawn.

Match7 Aug 2027

No end in sight to River Plate's wait for a win

7 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at River Plate has to find a result from somewhere.

Player ratings9 Aug 2027

No sign of nerves from Francisco Triver at 21 — 8.29

The hardest thing about being 21 in a senior side is that nobody makes allowances. Francisco Triver did not need any: 8.29, and he looked the most comfortable man on the pitch.

Player ratings9 Aug 2027

Nobody could get near Jean Martínez

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

Squad9 Aug 2027

José Arbío stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” José Arbío and River Plate agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad9 Aug 2027

Tempers go at River Plate

Pablo Viudez 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.

Match7 Aug 2027

Penarol take the points off River Plate

Beaten 1‑2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Squad9 Aug 2027

Another clean sheet for José Arbío

12 shut-outs and counting. Goalkeepers are only noticed when they fail, and José Arbío has given nobody the chance.

Squad9 Aug 2027

Cristian Sención 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.

In brief
