Match

Still nobody has beaten Chacarita Juniors

The unbeaten run reaches 23. Some of them were wins and some were escapes, but a side that refuses to lose is a side other dressing rooms talk about.

Market

Milton Leyendeker hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Chacarita Juniors can pretend not to have heard.

Market

Only the photograph left for Santiago Daniele

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Santiago Daniele will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Chacarita Juniors the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Misael Jaime

Successful dribbles: 21. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad

Gonzalo Dell Aquila 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 Chacarita Juniors this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

A row about effort at Chacarita Juniors

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

Match

Chacarita Juniors refuse to lose to Estudiantes

A point taken on 95 minutes is worth exactly one point and considerably more than that to a dressing room. This side does not stop, which is a reputation worth more than the result.

Squad

Tanque out for 34 days

The medical room confirms 34 days on the sidelines for Tanque, and a plan built around him now has to be rebuilt.

Loan watch

Pablo Ortiz wants to come home

“I did not go to Persija to sit and watch. I want to come back to Chacarita Juniors and fight for my place.” 2 appearances in 1 matches say the rest.

Match

Whatever happens, Chacarita Juniors do not lose

22 games unbeaten now. Some were earned and some were survived, but a habit is forming — and habits are the hardest thing in football to play against.

Player ratings

Mario Sanabria was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 45. 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.

Match

Nobody wins at Chacarita Juniors

13 home matches unbeaten. Visiting sides arrive already talking about the atmosphere, which is usually the sign that they have half-lost before kickoff.

Market

Luis Alberto Torres asks to leave Chacarita Juniors

“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.

Boardroom

The Chacarita Juniors board want somebody sold

The instruction has come from upstairs rather than from the dugout, which is the version of this conversation no manager enjoys. Somebody in that squad is now available whether the man who picks the team thinks so or not.

Market

Tomás Migliore is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Chacarita Juniors is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Boardroom

Chacarita Juniors to lose Tomás Migliore for free

There is no worse way to lose a footballer. Tomás Migliore has pre-agreed a move away, which means every appearance between now and June is made by a man the club can no longer sell, and somebody upstairs will be asked why the contract was allowed to get here.

Boardroom

Graduation day at Chacarita Juniors

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.

Boardroom

Chacarita Juniors counting the cost

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