Squad

Máximo Lorenzi breaks a bone — 61 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 61 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Squad

Words exchanged at Plaza Colonia

Lucas Carrizo 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.

Match

A bad afternoon for Plaza Colonia against Montevideo City Torque

1‑2 to Montevideo City Torque, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Joaquín Silva

“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.

Market

One of our own: Ignacio Sanchez joins the Plaza Colonia first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Ignacio Sanchez is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Market

Plaza Colonia promote Jose Morales from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Jose Morales has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Market

Brian Rivera steps up from the Plaza Colonia academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Brian Rivera has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

Market

One of our own: Matias Morales joins the Plaza Colonia first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Matias Morales is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Squad

Bautista Arricau is a square peg at Plaza Colonia

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.

In brief

  • Squad 12 new faces, and Plaza Colonia are still learning each other
  • The dugout The view from the dugout
  • Player ratings Tomás Escalante runs at them all day
