The terraces27 Nov 2028

Supporters organise against the San Martín board

A bad atmosphere can be waited out. A group of people meeting afterwards to decide what to do about it cannot, and everybody in the building knows which stage this is.

Squad27 Nov 2028

Franco López damages knee ligaments — 67 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 67 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.

Market27 Nov 2028

Angel Uñates 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 The request is on a desk at San Martín, and it is not being withdrawn.

The dugout27 Nov 2028

Nicolás Moreno frozen out at San Martín

This is not rotation. Nicolás Moreno has not been in the manager's plans for some time, and nobody at San Martín is pretending otherwise.

Squad27 Nov 2028

Facundo Pons 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.

Squad27 Nov 2028

Tempers go at San Martín

Franco López 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.

The dugout27 Nov 2028

No hiding place for Luis Moreno

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

The dugout27 Nov 2028

Diego Diellos knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at San Martín, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Market27 Nov 2028

The Felipe Rivarola story refuses to die

It has been denied twice and printed three times, which is the usual arithmetic. Until Felipe Rivarola signs something — a contract at San Martín or anywhere else — this column belongs to him.

Market27 Mar 2028

Exequiel Castaño asks to leave San Martín

“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.

Boardroom27 Mar 2028

San Martín counting the cost

The accounts make uncomfortable reading. Wages first and ambition second is the order of business at San Martín now.

Squad27 Mar 2028

Gonzalo Gutiérrez 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 San Martín this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

The dugout27 Mar 2028

When it matters, Aníbal Paz 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 dugout27 Mar 2028

No hiding place for Marcos Fredes

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

The dugout27 Mar 2028

Aníbal Paz knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at San Martín, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Looking ahead27 Mar 2028

A reunion for Diego Diellos

He used to wear the other shirt. On Saturday he plays against Madryn in this one, and whatever he says this week about it being just another game will be untrue.

Market27 Mar 2028

The Guillermo Rodríguez story refuses to die

It has been denied twice and printed three times, which is the usual arithmetic. Until Guillermo Rodríguez signs something — a contract at San Martín or anywhere else — this column belongs to him.

Looking ahead27 Mar 2028

San Martín host Madryn

Next up at home: Madryn, who go into it in position 4. The kind of fixture a season is quietly built on or quietly loses its shape in.

Exequiel Castaño 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 San Martín, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad31 Jan 2028

Words at San Martín training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Facundo Pons 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.

Squad31 Jan 2028

Santino Roldán stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Santino Roldán and San Martín agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

The dugout31 Jan 2028

Aníbal Paz has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at San Martín 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.

Boardroom31 Jan 2028

Belts tighten at San Martín

The accounts are being read more closely than the results. Wages before ambition is the order of business now, and the manager has been told so.

The dugout31 Jan 2028

Aníbal Paz 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.

Squad31 Jan 2028

David Machis is a square peg at San Martín

The system has changed and his position has not. A footballer can improve his form; he cannot improve the manager’s formation, and that is the whole of the problem.

Market31 Jan 2028

The Guillermo Rodríguez story refuses to die

It has been denied twice and printed three times, which is the usual arithmetic. Until Guillermo Rodríguez signs something — a contract at San Martín or anywhere else — this column belongs to him.

The dugout31 Jan 2028

The manager makes an example of Santino Roldán

“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.

Carlos Torres 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 San Martín, and it is not being withdrawn.

Market24 Jan 2028

A stepping stone, not a home, for David Machis

He is doing his job and he is not settling. San Martín were supposed to be a step up in his own reckoning, and his own reckoning has been adjusted since he arrived.

Squad24 Jan 2028

Marcos Fredes signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Marcos Fredes commits to San Martín for another 4 years.

Market24 Jan 2028

A long bet from San Martín on Marcos Fredes

He is 20, and nobody at San Martín signed him for this season. Deals like this are judged in four years, by people who may not still be in the building.

Market24 Jan 2028

San Martín sign Luis Moreno, one for the future

Luis Moreno is 17, and San Martín have signed him for the player he will be rather than the one he is. The first team can wait; the point of a deal like this is the years it buys.

The dugout24 Jan 2028

Laureano Rodríguez gets picked when it counts

Every manager keeps a short list in his head of the men he wants on the pitch when the stakes rise, and it is never published. The team sheets for the big afternoons say Laureano Rodríguez is on it.

Squad24 Jan 2028

The formation has left Marcos Fredes behind

Every shape has positions in it and this one does not have his. San Martín will either change the shape, change his job, or change his club, and he is waiting to hear which.

Squad24 Jan 2028

Competition arrives for Nicolás Castro

A new face in his position and a shirt he thought he owned suddenly up for discussion. San Martín have promised nothing, which is what clubs promise at this stage.
