Match24 Mar 2029

Massimo Saliszewski leads the rout of Argentino de Merlo

3‑0, and Massimo Saliszewski took the headlines on an afternoon when everything Gimnasia y Esgrima tried came off. Days like this are retold all winter.

Market26 Mar 2029

Nahuel Denis asks to leave Gimnasia y Esgrima

“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.

Player ratings26 Mar 2029

Both of them Massimo Saliszewski's — 8.96

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.96, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

The dugout26 Mar 2029

Hugo Soria frozen out at Gimnasia y Esgrima

This is not rotation. Hugo Soria has not been in the manager's plans for some time, and nobody at Gimnasia y Esgrima is pretending otherwise.

Squad26 Mar 2029

A falling-out at Gimnasia y Esgrima

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

Player ratings26 Mar 2029

Franco Camargo was on a different afternoon to everybody else

8.09. 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.

The dugout26 Mar 2029

Luis Muñoz has his say

“We earned that. I asked them for a reaction and I got one, and now I want the same again on Saturday.” Luis Muñoz on a 3‑0 afternoon that pleased him more than he was prepared to show.

The dugout26 Mar 2029

Franco Camargo has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Gimnasia y Esgrima will say this on the record and the team sheets have been saying it for weeks. There is a small group in every squad who get picked when the fixture is difficult, and he has joined it.

Squad26 Mar 2029

Sebastian Mathiassen 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.

Match11 Sep 2028

Every point is an argument now for Gimnasia y Esgrima

Position 21 and 34 points, and the table gets read bottom-up in this part of town. The calendar has stopped being a schedule and started being a countdown.

Squad11 Sep 2028

Milton Álvarez 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 y Esgrima this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad11 Sep 2028

Words at Gimnasia y Esgrima training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Axel Pinto 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.

The dugout11 Sep 2028

Diego Otero frozen out at Gimnasia y Esgrima

This is not rotation. Diego Otero has not been in the manager's plans for some time, and nobody at Gimnasia y Esgrima is pretending otherwise.

Loan watch11 Sep 2028

The goals keep arriving from Massimo Saliszewski’s exile

11 goals in 24 games at Madura United — numbers that travel home faster than he does. Somebody at Gimnasia y Esgrima updates a spreadsheet every Monday, and it makes better reading each week.

Squad11 Sep 2028

Home is on Konrad Clausen's mind

“Some mornings you wake up and you are still a long way from everything you know.” It is not the football and it never was; Gimnasia y Esgrima are dealing with a man who wants a different country.

The dugout11 Sep 2028

When it matters, Axel Pinto plays

It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.

The dugout11 Sep 2028

Matías Ramos Mingo 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.

Market11 Sep 2028

No place for Ivan Lopez in the plan

“The manager did not use many words, and he did not need to.” Ivan Lopez has his answer from Gimnasia y Esgrima; what he does with it is the next window’s story.

Market7 Feb 2028

Bostero asks to leave Gimnasia y Esgrima

“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.

Squad7 Feb 2028

Milton Álvarez stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Milton Álvarez and Gimnasia y Esgrima agree another 2 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad7 Feb 2028

Tempers go at Gimnasia y Esgrima

Milton Álvarez 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.

Market7 Feb 2028

Ivan Lopez is a Gimnasia y Esgrima player again

He left as a boy and has come back still knowing where the away end is. Most signings have to be explained to a town; this one needed a photograph and nothing else.

Boardroom7 Feb 2028

Graduation day at Gimnasia y Esgrima

5 boys move up, and somewhere in the building the people who coached them at twelve are quietly having the best morning of their working year. Nothing about this shows up in a result and it is why the academy exists.

Squad7 Feb 2028

A row about effort at Gimnasia y Esgrima

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Joaquín Varela was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Market7 Feb 2028

One of our own: Facundo Moretti joins the Gimnasia y Esgrima first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Facundo Moretti is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Market7 Feb 2028

Lucas González steps up from the Gimnasia y Esgrima academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Lucas González has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

Match5 Feb 2028

Gimnasia y Esgrima see off Alvarado

Three points for Gimnasia y Esgrima, 1‑0 the final word against Alvarado in a contest settled by the finer margins.
