Mauricio Guzmán 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 Tristán Suárez this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match12 Feb 2028

A bad afternoon for Tristán Suárez against Quilmes

0‑2 to Quilmes, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Squad14 Feb 2028

A row about effort at Tristán Suárez

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Bruno Ruíz was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Squad14 Feb 2028

Joaquín Mendive out for 28 days

The medical room confirms 28 days on the sidelines for Joaquín Mendive, and a plan built around him now has to be rebuilt.

The dugout14 Feb 2028

Agustín Baldi 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.

The dugout14 Feb 2028

The manager’s verdict

“That is on me. I pick the team and I picked wrong.” Managers say that when they mean it and when they need to be seen to, and after 0‑2 Daniel Navarro left the room before anybody could ask which.

Player ratings14 Feb 2028

Marcos Enrique beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 12. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

The dugout14 Feb 2028

Mateo Bustamante gets picked when it counts

Every manager keeps a short list in his head of the men he wants on the pitch when the stakes rise, and it is never published. The team sheets for the big afternoons say Mateo Bustamante is on it.

The dugout14 Feb 2028

Ángel Almada knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Tristán Suárez, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Squad17 Jan 2028

Tristán Suárez count the cost of losing Joaquín Mendive

57 days, the scan says, and scans are kinder than reality. The fixtures in that window have just become somebody else’s job.

The dugout17 Jan 2028

Kevin Colli 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.

Squad17 Jan 2028

Mateo Bustamante 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.

Squad17 Jan 2028

Facundo Bianchi stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Facundo Bianchi and Tristán Suárez agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

The dugout17 Jan 2028

Agustín Gallo knocks on the manager’s door

“Thirty minutes, door closed, everything said. We shook hands after.” Whatever was in the room stayed in the room, and Agustín Gallo trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.

Squad17 Jan 2028

Exequiel Fernández is a square peg at Tristán Suárez

The system has changed and his position has not. A footballer can improve his form; he cannot improve the manager’s formation, and that is the whole of the problem.
