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 The request is on a desk at San Telmo, and it is not being withdrawn.

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Daniel Villalba 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.
