Squad22 Oct 2035

103 days out for Wessam Abou Ali after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Nacional will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

The dugout22 Oct 2035

Patricio Moyano says Nacional went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Market22 Oct 2035

Nahuel González has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Nacional they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Squad22 Oct 2035

Kevin Lomónaco 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 Nacional this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad22 Oct 2035

Lucas Martinez signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Lucas Martinez and Nacional agree another 4 years.

The dugout22 Oct 2035

Gonzalo Gómez 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 Gonzalo Gómez is on it.

Squad22 Oct 2035

A row about effort at Nacional

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

The dugout22 Oct 2035

Wessam Abou Ali has been promised minutes

A conversation in the manager’s office, and a commitment that came out of it. Promises like that are cheap to make and expensive to break, and Wessam Abou Ali has written the date down.

Market22 Oct 2035

The shop window has Facundo Viera in it

Nacional have let the market know Facundo Viera can be had. No price in the advert, but everyone in the trade knows roughly what it says.

Squad15 Oct 2035

Tempers go at Nacional

Kevin Lomónaco 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.

Market15 Oct 2035

Ignacio Pellistri is on his way

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

Loan watch15 Oct 2035

Alejandro Valverde has seen enough of Rocha

“I am grateful for the games, but I did not become a footballer to be somebody else's spare part.” He wants to be at Nacional, and 0 appearances in 11 say he has earned the hearing.

The dugout15 Oct 2035

Lautaro Di Lollo has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Nacional 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.

Squad15 Oct 2035

Máximo Alonso 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.

Squad15 Oct 2035

Ramon Aguirre: “I am not a substitute”

“I have done everything asked of me in training and it has not changed a thing on a Saturday.” The most familiar complaint in football, and one Nacional will have to answer with minutes or with a transfer.

The dugout15 Oct 2035

A door opens for Jhon Guzmán

He asked about his future and was given an answer with minutes in it. The manager has now made a promise in a building where promises are remembered, and the clock on it has started.

Market15 Oct 2035

Nacional put Gabriel Rivera up for sale

The list is a quiet document with a loud meaning. Gabriel Rivera may talk to anybody who asks, and everybody at the club understands what that means.

Market15 Oct 2035

Still no signature from Leandro Umpiérrez

2 months left and the two sides are nowhere near each other. Every week this drags on takes money off what Nacional could get for him.
