The wait goes on for San Telmo
11 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

A knee injury of the worst kind for Elías Peralta
128 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. San Telmo lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Emanuel Díaz puts it in writing
“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at San Telmo, and it is not being withdrawn.

Leonel Pollacchi 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 San Telmo this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Graduation day at San Telmo
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.

Juan Yangali 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.

Chacarita Juniors take the points off San Telmo
Beaten 1‑2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

The manager makes an example of Leonel Pollacchi
“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.

Noah Gutiérrez steps up from the San Telmo academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Noah Gutiérrez 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.
