The Quilmes Chronicle

Ulises Vera runs at them all day
Successful dribbles: 35. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Joaquín Postigo asks to leave Quilmes
“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.

Quilmes tie Juan Vega down
A new deal for the man in the dugout, and the clearest thing a board can say without calling a press conference about it. Stability is cheap to promise and expensive to deliver.

No end in sight to Quilmes's wait for a win
4 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Quilmes has to find a result from somewhere.

Tempers go at Quilmes
Ramiro Luna 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.

Graduation day at Quilmes
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.

Luciano Recalde falls out with a teammate over standards
The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.
Match5 Feb 2028
3 matches without a goal for Quilmes
The chances are being made and something is happening between the making and the finishing. 3 matches now, and the anxiety in the ground arrives a little earlier every week.

One of our own: Mago joins the Quilmes first team
Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Mago is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.
In brief
- Market Quilmes promote Federico Peralta from within
- Market Nicolás Castro steps up from the Quilmes academy
- Squad No hiding place for Agustín Bolívar
