Market

Nueva Chicago say no — this time

The offer from Persis for Jenluis Pérez was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Squad

Facundo Castro 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 Nueva Chicago this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Lucas Ambrogio 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.

Player ratings

Lucas Ambrogio runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 19. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

The dugout

No hiding place for Rodrigo Ramírez

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Rodrigo Ramírez, and the manager let it.

Squad

Andrés Navarro out for 19 days

The medical room confirms 19 days on the sidelines for Andrés Navarro, and a plan built around him now has to be rebuilt.

Player ratings

Dylan Gissi takes the honours

Marked 7.34 on an afternoon he ran from the first whistle to the last. Whatever else went wrong, Nueva Chicago had the best player on the pitch.

Player ratings

Nothing got past Enzo Roldán

Headers, blocks, tackles, interceptions — 15 of them, and not one goal behind him. The sort of performance that never makes a highlight reel and wins football matches.

The dugout

The view from the dugout

“We did not lose. Some weeks that is all you get, and I would rather have the point than not.” Luis Morales chose the glass-half-full version of 0‑0; the supporters left with the other one.

Match

Nueva Chicago tear Central Norte apart

Rarely has this fixture seen a display like it: 3‑0 against Central Norte, and it could have been more.

Player ratings

A brace, and Alan Ruiz takes the afternoon — 8.07

There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Alan Ruiz provided it, and the 8.07 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

Squad

The terraces

One of their own: Matías Bergara

He is 22 and the ground already sings his name, which is a thing that happens to local boys and almost never to signings. Everything from here is measured against an affection he did nothing to earn except be from here.

Market

Federico Benítez steps up from the Nueva Chicago academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Federico Benítez 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.

Market

One of our own: Ricardo Moretti joins the Nueva Chicago first team

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

Market

Benjamín Bianchi steps up from the Nueva Chicago academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Benjamín Bianchi 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.
