Newell's Old Boys keep winning on the road
7 away wins in a row. Travelling support is the truest kind, and this season it is being repaid in the only currency that counts.

Alejo Montero pops up at the right end — 7.74
7.74, 1 on the scoresheet, and the specific comedy of a back-four player celebrating like somebody who does this every week. He does not, and that is exactly why the ground reacted the way it did.

Graduation day at Newell's Old Boys
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.

A row about effort at Newell's Old Boys
Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Walter Mazzantti was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Newell's Old Boys promote Tomás Bruno from within
The academy exists for exactly this morning. Tomás Bruno 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.

Gustavo Escobar steps up from the Newell's Old Boys academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Gustavo Escobar 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.
