Squad9 Apr 2029

70 days out for Nicolás Castro after a fracture

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

Player ratings9 Apr 2029

Facundo Pons, 33, rolls back the years — 8.20

There is an age at which every good afternoon gets described as a throwback, which is unfair and also accurate. 8.20 at 33, and nobody on the pitch was better.

Squad9 Apr 2029

A muscle injury sidelines Rodrigo Ayala for 17 days

Nobody makes a documentary about a hamstring and everybody in the game fears one. San Martín will be careful with the return date, because the second one is always worse than the first.

Squad9 Apr 2029

Octavio Zamora 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 San Martín this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match7 Apr 2029

Facundo Pons the difference as San Martín beat Madryn

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Facundo Pons. 1‑0 against Madryn, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

Player ratings9 Apr 2029

Both jobs done by Octavio Zamora — 7.02

A midfielder is measured on whether the team functions when he is on the pitch, which is nearly impossible to see and completely obvious in retrospect. 9 actions, 7.02, and a manager who will not be substituting him again in a hurry.

The dugout9 Apr 2029

Interim Coach has his say

“We earned that. I asked them for a reaction and I got one, and now I want the same again on Saturday.” Interim Coach on a 1‑0 afternoon that pleased him more than he was prepared to show.

Boardroom9 Apr 2029

San Martín can only buy what they sell

Nobody has barred the club from spending; it simply has nothing to spend that it has not first raised. Every incoming name comes with an outgoing one attached.

The dugout9 Apr 2029

Octavio Zamora asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

Squad1 Nov 2027

Tempers go at San Martín

Diego Diellos 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.

The dugout1 Nov 2027

The manager makes an example of Aníbal Paz

“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.

Loan watch1 Nov 2027

11 goals on loan for Felipe Rivarola

33 appearances at Shonan Bellmare and the goals keep coming. San Martín are watching this more closely than the borrowing club would like.

Squad1 Nov 2027

Words at San Martín training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Octavio Zamora 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 dugout1 Nov 2027

Laureano Rodríguez 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 Laureano Rodríguez is on it.

Market1 Nov 2027

Carlos Torres is free to find somewhere else

“I was told straight, and I would rather have it straight.” The manager at San Martín has been clear about where Carlos Torres stands, which is more than many ever get.

Squad1 Nov 2027

San Martín have started building around Diego Diellos

He used to be one of the options. He is now one of the men the options are picked around, and the change happened quietly enough that only the dressing room noticed on the day.

The dugout1 Nov 2027

Diego Diellos 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 Diego Diellos trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.

Market1 Nov 2027

The Guillermo Rodríguez talk will not go away

Another week, another link, another denial nobody quite believes. San Martín know the market decides these things, not the back pages — but the back pages are louder.
