Market28 Aug 2028

Facundo Pons 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.

Boardroom28 Aug 2028

The silence upstairs is getting loud at San Martín

Nobody on the board has said anything against the manager, which is the point — they have stopped saying anything for him either.

The dugout28 Aug 2028

Matías García frozen out at San Martín

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

Squad28 Aug 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.

Boardroom28 Aug 2028

Wages eat 146% of everything San Martín earn

There is a figure at which a wage bill stops being ambitious and becomes the reason nothing else is possible, and this club has reached it. Nothing is left over for a transfer, a stand or a rainy afternoon.

Match26 Aug 2028

Laureano Rodríguez the difference as San Martín beat Colegiales

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Laureano Rodríguez. 1‑0 against Colegiales, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

Player ratings28 Aug 2028

A masterclass from Laureano Rodríguez

Marked 8.06 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.

The dugout28 Aug 2028

No hiding place for Daniel Aravena

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

Squad28 Aug 2028

Words exchanged at San Martín

Nahuel Verón 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.

Player ratings14 Aug 2028

Rodrigo Ayala, 34, rolls back the years — 7.95

There is an age at which every good afternoon gets described as a throwback, which is unfair and also accurate. 7.95 at 34, and nobody on the pitch was better.

Squad14 Aug 2028

Time is catching up with Matías García

Everybody at San Martín saw it before anybody said it, which is how this always goes. At 36 the decline is real and measurable — 3 points — and the only question left is how the club handles somebody it owes a great deal to.

Squad14 Aug 2028

Words at San Martín training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Matías García 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.

Jorge Juárez beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 16. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Squad14 Aug 2028

“I want to play”: Gastón Verón speaks

“I respect the manager and I am not going to sit here and pretend I am happy.” It is the most common sentence in football and it has never once been the end of a story.

Squad14 Aug 2028

No place for Daniel Aravena in the new shape

He is not being dropped. There is simply nowhere in the formation San Martín are playing to put a man who does what he does, which is a harder thing to be told than any team sheet.

Market14 Aug 2028

A long bet from San Martín on Matías Reyna

He is 19, 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.

He is 19, 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.
