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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
