Squad5 Feb 2029

A knee injury of the worst kind for Ignacio Yepez

29 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Cerrito lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Market5 Feb 2029

Fabrizzio Franco is on his way

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

Boardroom5 Feb 2029

Cerrito counting the cost

The accounts make uncomfortable reading. Wages first and ambition second is the order of business at Cerrito now.

Squad5 Feb 2029

A row about effort at Cerrito

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

Squad5 Feb 2029

Andrés Schetino 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 Cerrito this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad5 Feb 2029

A muscle injury and 14 days out for Matias Cabrera

The most common injury in the game and the most rushed back from. Cerrito will quote 14 days and will be careful with it, because the second one is always worse than the first.

Francisco Casanova 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 Francisco Casanova is on it.

Market5 Feb 2029

Cerrito and Andrés Schetino are talking past each other

“There is a gap, and pretending there is not helps nobody.” Neither side has moved, and the calendar is working for exactly one of them.

The dugout5 Feb 2029

Andrés Schetino knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Cerrito, and both men came out saying it was fine.

A knee injury of the worst kind for Ignacio Yepez

58 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Cerrito lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Market8 Jan 2029

Only the photograph left for Fabrizzio Franco

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Fabrizzio Franco will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Cerrito the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Market8 Jan 2029

Carlos Muela asks to leave Cerrito

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Squad8 Jan 2029

Tempers go at Cerrito

Francisco Casanova 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.

Boardroom8 Jan 2029

Cerrito counting the cost

The accounts make uncomfortable reading. Wages first and ambition second is the order of business at Cerrito now.

Transfer targets8 Jan 2029

Cerrito rebuffed over Thiago Rojas

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Liverpool Montevideo have kept their man, and Cerrito go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Market8 Jan 2029

Martin Castro steps up from the Cerrito academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Martin Castro 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.

One of our own: Matias Cabrera joins the Cerrito first team

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

Squad8 Jan 2029

Cerrito are still strangers to each other

6 new signings in one window. Every one may be an upgrade and the side can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild the verdicts never mention.

In brief
