From our football correspondent Steady

The dugout

Augusto Bottini says Almirante Brown 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.

Squad

Words exchanged at Almirante Brown

Gastón Moreyra 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.

Market

Almirante Brown may not be able to give Agustín Dattola what he wants

It is the most legitimate ambition in the sport and the hardest for most clubs to satisfy. Agustín Dattola wants continental football; whether Almirante Brown can provide it is a question about the next two seasons, not about him.

Squad

Words at Almirante Brown training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Leonardo Jara 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.

Boardroom

Wages swallow 205% of the Almirante Brown income

Every club pays most of what it earns to its players. Paying nearly all of it is a different arrangement, and it has ended the same way every time it has been tried.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Gonzalo Flores

“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.

The dugout

Nazareno Bazán Vera knocks on the manager’s door

“Thirty minutes, door closed, everything said. We shook hands after.” Whatever was in the room stayed in the room, and Nazareno Bazán Vera trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.

Market

The Gastón Moreyra question follows Almirante Brown around

Every press conference now starts and ends the same way: with Gastón Moreyra’s future. The manager has run out of new ways to say nothing.

Squad

Facundo Quignón has seen what the next man earns

Numbers do not stay secret in a dressing room and never have. He is not asking for more than he is worth; he is asking why somebody beside him is worth more, and at Almirante Brown that is a harder question to answer.

In brief
