Marked for Pol

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad12 Jul 2027

A knee injury of the worst kind for Pol

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

Player ratings12 Jul 2027

Luciano Arcuri scores twice — 8.18

Two goals and a mark of 8.18 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Market12 Jul 2027

Enzo Díaz says no to Flandria

“I listened, I thought about it, and I am staying. That is the whole story.” The clubs had agreed a fee. Enzo Díaz had not agreed to go, which turned out to be the part that mattered.

Squad12 Jul 2027

6 saves: Juan Carlos Rolón was the team

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the whole of the defence. 6 saves, several of them the kind nobody expects to see made, and ten outfield players who owe him a drink.

Squad12 Jul 2027

Words exchanged at UAI Urquiza

Alejo Antilef and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Match6 Jul 2027

UAI Urquiza find a way past Deportivo Laferrere

Deportivo Laferrere made UAI Urquiza work for it, but the scoreboard read 3‑1 at the end and the table does not ask how.

The dugout12 Jul 2027

Nahuel Ríos gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Match10 Jul 2027

UAI Urquiza come up short against Acassuso

Acassuso left with the points after a 0‑1 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Boardroom12 Jul 2027

Wages eat 106% of everything UAI Urquiza earn

There is a figure at which a wage bill stops being ambitious and becomes the reason nothing else is possible, and this club has reached it. Nothing is left over for a transfer, a stand or a rainy afternoon.

A knee injury of the worst kind for Pol

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

Market5 Jul 2027

Enzo Díaz hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what UAI Urquiza can pretend not to have heard.

Match3 Jul 2027

4 matches without a win for UAI Urquiza

The run now stands at 4, and the questions being asked around UAI Urquiza are no longer polite ones.

Squad5 Jul 2027

A falling-out at UAI Urquiza

Alejo Antilef and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Squad5 Jul 2027

Words at UAI Urquiza training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Luciano Arcuri is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

The dugout5 Jul 2027

Valentín Rodríguez gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Match5 Jul 2027

The half-term report on UAI Urquiza

Position 17, 24 points, and every result so far reduced to one line. The second half of the season starts with the same squad and a different set of expectations.

Player ratings5 Jul 2027

Franco Mesa stands above it all

Some games turn on a moment; this one turned on a man. 7.60 on the card, and the UAI Urquiza support went home talking about one name.

Boardroom5 Jul 2027

Intake day at the UAI Urquiza academy

5 arrivals, an average age nobody would call a squad, and a set of parents being shown around a building their sons will spend more time in than at home. The scouting has already happened; today is only the paperwork.

Squad28 Jun 2027

The knee: Pol out for 35 days

35 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. UAI Urquiza lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

Squad28 Jun 2027

Alejo Antilef 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 UAI Urquiza this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad28 Jun 2027

Words at UAI Urquiza training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Luciano Arcuri is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

The dugout28 Jun 2027

No hiding place for Emanuel Ibáñez

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

Squad28 Jun 2027

100 appearances for Valentín Albano

100 games in these colours. Service of that kind gets rarer every season, and the crowd knows it.

Match26 Jun 2027

UAI Urquiza rescue it on 88 minutes

Behind, and beaten by any honest reading, until minute 88. San Martín de Burzaco had the points in their pocket and a corner of the ground still believed, which is generally when it happens.

Match26 Jun 2027

UAI Urquiza share the spoils with San Martín de Burzaco

A 1‑1 draw with San Martín de Burzaco leaves the dressing room somewhere between relief and regret.

The dugout28 Jun 2027

Noah Ramírez on the point

“A point is a point and I will take it, but we should have had all three.” Noah Ramírez after the 1‑1 draw, and the sentence every manager in the country said at some stage this weekend.

The dugout28 Jun 2027

Nahuel Menéndez dropped after a run of poor form

The one version of being left out a player cannot argue with, and the one he takes worst. Somebody else has been better and the team sheet says so, in public, every week until it changes.
