Marked for Daniel Ramos

Squad

The knee: Alan Buonofiglio out for 77 days

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

The dugout

Nahuel Maldonado says Sacachispas went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Squad

18 days out for Daniel Ramos after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Sacachispas will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Player ratings

Nahuel Maldonado, 20, plays like he has been here for years — 7.70

A mark of 7.70 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 20-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.

Market

Ignacio Colombo asks to leave Sacachispas

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Squad

Words exchanged at Sacachispas

Lautaro Torres 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.

Squad

A row about effort at Sacachispas

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

The terraces

The crowd has taken to Nahuel Maldonado

At 20 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.

The dugout

No hiding place for Darío Cáceres

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

Squad

The knee: Alan Buonofiglio out for 85 days

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

The dugout

Darío Cáceres says Sacachispas went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Squad

Daniel Ramos breaks a bone — 25 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 25 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Squad

Tempers go at Sacachispas

Lautaro Torres was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Match

Gimnasia y Esgrima take the points off Sacachispas

Beaten 0‑2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Héctor Canteros

“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.

Squad

Words at Sacachispas training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Juan Pablo Vaschetto 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.

Boardroom

Nobody left the Sacachispas dressing room in a hurry

The door stayed shut a long time after the final whistle. What was said in there is between them; whether it worked is between them and Saturday.

The dugout

Mario Colombo faces the questions

“We were not good enough today and I am not going to dress it up.” Mario Colombo after 0‑2, in the tone of a man who knows the next question and does not intend to answer it.
