From our football correspondent Upbeat

Match

Newell's Old Boys make home a hard place to visit

32 without defeat on their own grass. The pitch has not changed; the crowd has — louder earlier, and quicker to sense when the opposition would rather be somewhere else.

Squad

Jairo Ebel damages knee ligaments — 14 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 14 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Match

Newell's Old Boys up to position 1

28 points on the board and a place in the leading group. Nobody at the ground is saying the word out loud yet.

Market

Exequiel Oviedo has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Newell's Old Boys they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Squad

Tempers go at Newell's Old Boys

Guillermo Balzi 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 Santino Baronio

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 9.17, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Match

Newell's Old Boys see off Estudiantes

Three points for Newell's Old Boys, 2‑1 the final word against Estudiantes in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Player ratings

One of those days for Dylan Cabral

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.67, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Player ratings

Ninety minutes of Agustín Cohen at his very best

Marked 8.47. Players have careers without a single afternoon like this in them, and he has just had one in front of everybody at Newell's Old Boys.

Squad

Jairo Ebel damages knee ligaments — 21 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 21 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Squad

Laureano Romero keeps Newell's Old Boys in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 7 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Market

Enzo Vázquez asks to leave Newell's Old Boys

“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.

Market

Fernando Iglesias is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Newell's Old Boys is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Squad

Rodrigo Herrera 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 Newell's Old Boys this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Guillermo Balzi 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.

Match

Dylan Cabral’s goal not enough for Newell's Old Boys

Dylan Cabral scored, and precious little else went right: 2‑3 to San Martín SJ, and a quiet walk to the dressing room.

Player ratings

One of those days for Dylan Cabral

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.59, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Player ratings

Santino Baronio was on a different afternoon to everybody else

8.41. There are performances a supporter describes to somebody who was not there and cannot quite convey; this was one, and the number does not help either.

31 without defeat on their own grass. The pitch has not changed; the crowd has — louder earlier, and quicker to sense when the opposition would rather be somewhere else.

Squad

Jairo Ebel damages knee ligaments — 28 days out

Match

13 unbeaten for Newell's Old Boys

Hard to beat is not the same as winning, but 13 matches without defeat is a foundation Newell's Old Boys did not have in the autumn.

Market

Martín Ortega is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Newell's Old Boys is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Squad

Tempers go at Newell's Old Boys

Rodrigo Herrera 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

Words at Newell's Old Boys training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Guillermo Balzi 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

Fernando Rodríguez signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Fernando Rodríguez commits to Newell's Old Boys for another 2 years.

Player ratings

Ninety minutes of Santino Baronio at his very best

Marked 8.97. Players have careers without a single afternoon like this in them, and he has just had one in front of everybody at Newell's Old Boys.

Player ratings

Agustín Cohen in the eights

A performance of 8.21 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

Squad

Oscar Salomón damages knee ligaments — 37 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 37 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Squad

Tempers go at Newell's Old Boys

Guillermo Balzi 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.

Market

Topo has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Newell's Old Boys they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Squad

Words at Newell's Old Boys training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Nahuel Zapatiel 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

The manager makes an example of Nahuel Zapatiel

“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.

Market

The Oscar Salomón talk will not go away

Another week, another link, another denial nobody quite believes. Newell's Old Boys know the market decides these things, not the back pages — but the back pages are louder.
