Squad

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.

Words at Gimnasia y Esgrima training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Joaquín Varela 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 dugout

A promise honoured for Nahuel Denis

It is not much of a headline and it is the reason players believe the next promise. Gimnasia y Esgrima told Nahuel Denis something would happen and then it happened, which in this industry passes for remarkable.

Squad

Daniel Meneses signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Daniel Meneses commits to Gimnasia y Esgrima for another 3 years.

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

The dugout

Joaquín Varela knocks on the manager's door

The Franco Camargo story refuses to die

It has been denied twice and printed three times, which is the usual arithmetic. Until Franco Camargo signs something — a contract at Gimnasia y Esgrima or anywhere else — this column belongs to him.

In brief
