Squad

William Mendieta stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” William Mendieta and Rampla Juniors agree another 1 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad

Cristian Erbes 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 Rampla Juniors this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

William Mendieta has outgrown this division

There is a level at which a footballer stops being tested and starts being contained, and he reached it some time ago. Rampla Juniors know it, and so does everybody who watches him.

The dugout

Cristian Erbes asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

Squad

Marco Posse is no longer first choice

The manager has re-ordered his thinking and Marco Posse has come out of it lower. He will be told it is temporary, and the players who have heard that before will avoid his eye.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Juan Raffaelli

“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.

In brief
