Squad4 Sep 2028

90 days out for Mathias Jimenez after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Central Espanol will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Words exchanged at Central Espanol

Ignacio Rodríguez and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Squad4 Sep 2028

Renzo Sastre signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Renzo Sastre and Central Espanol agree another 3 years.

The dugout4 Sep 2028

The manager makes an example of Nicolás Campos

“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.

Boardroom4 Sep 2028

The Central Espanol board find $693.7K for the manager

Money, not words, and it is the only answer a manager ever wants. Spending $693.7K well is entirely his problem now.

Loan watch4 Sep 2028

Santiago Sequeira has seen enough of Rampla Juniors

“I am grateful for the games, but I did not become a footballer to be somebody else's spare part.” He wants to be at Central Espanol, and 9 appearances in 12 say he has earned the hearing.

A knee injury of the worst kind for Facundo Castro

21 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Central Espanol lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Player ratings5 Jun 2028

Máximo Alonso was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 27. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

The dugout5 Jun 2028

Santiago Sequeira says Central Espanol 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.

Squad5 Jun 2028

Words at Central Espanol training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Marcos Montiel 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.

Squad5 Jun 2028

A falling-out at Central Espanol

Matías Kusmanis and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

The terraces5 Jun 2028

Central Espanol supporters have found a favourite in Nicolás Campos

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 23-year-old it feels ownership of. Nicolás Campos has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

Market5 Jun 2028

Ignacio Rodríguez is free to find somewhere else

“I was told straight, and I would rather have it straight.” The manager at Central Espanol has been clear about where Ignacio Rodríguez stands, which is more than many ever get.

The dugout5 Jun 2028

No hiding place for Diego Capdevila

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

Match3 Jun 2028

Central Espanol see off Uruguay Montevideo

Three points for Central Espanol, 1‑0 the final word against Uruguay Montevideo in a contest settled by the finer margins.
