The knee: Manuel Rivera out for 18 days

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

Market5 Feb 2029

Tomás Lavezzi asks to leave Cerro Largo

“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.

Market5 Feb 2029

Franco González wants European nights

The general version of this complaint is that a player wants more. The specific version names the thing: he wants to walk out under floodlights against clubs from other countries, and he has stopped pretending otherwise.

Matías Tagliamonte will not be coming to Cerro Largo

Terms were offered and declined. Whether it was the wages, the role or the town, nobody at Estudiantes is saying, and nobody at Cerro Largo is enjoying the guessing.

Squad5 Feb 2029

A falling-out at Cerro Largo

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

Wanderers tell Cerro Largo: Esteban Crucci is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

A row about effort at Cerro Largo

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

The window shuts on the Marcos Donato deal

Cerro Largo ran out of time with Plaza Colonia. The paperwork was open when the deadline passed, and a transfer that was almost done is now a transfer that never happened.

Transfer targets5 Feb 2029

A loan move for Matías Tagliamonte is in the works

Cerro Largo have made the call to Estudiantes. No fee, a share of the wages, and a spare shirt in the position where the squad has been thinnest all season.

Squad29 Jan 2029

A knee injury of the worst kind for Manuel Rivera

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

Market29 Jan 2029

Paulo Bustos asks to leave Cerro Largo

“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.

Market29 Jan 2029

Joaquín Avilés is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Cerro Largo is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Transfer targets29 Jan 2029

Matías Tagliamonte is a medical away from Cerro Largo

The deal with Estudiantes is done in every sense but the one that puts him on the pitch. Nothing goes wrong at this stage, except on the occasions when it does.

Transfer targets29 Jan 2029

No thanks: Benjamín Schamine rejects the move

Cerro Largo had done everything except persuade the man himself. He stays at Defensa y Justicia, and the manager goes back to the drawing board with the money still in the bank.

Squad29 Jan 2029

Tempers go at Cerro Largo

Pedro González 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.

Squad29 Jan 2029

Words at Cerro Largo training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Sebastián Assis 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.

Transfer targets29 Jan 2029

Door shut on Federico Bonilla

Cerro Largo asked and Nacional said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Ihojan Pérez frozen out at Cerro Largo

This is not rotation. Ihojan Pérez has not been in the manager's plans for some time, and nobody at Cerro Largo is pretending otherwise.

Manuel Rivera damages knee ligaments — 35 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 35 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Market22 Jan 2029

Axel Baltar asks to leave Cerro Largo

“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.

Market22 Jan 2029

Enrique Almeida turns Artigas down

“It was not right for me. I am not going to explain why to anybody except the people I owe an explanation to.” A deal agreed between two clubs, and a player who declined to be part of it.

Squad22 Jan 2029

Luciano Agüero arrives at the club he grew up with

Every footballer has an answer to the question about his boyhood club, and most of them never get to act on it. Luciano Agüero has, at Cerro Largo, and the first month will show what that does to a man.

Transfer targets22 Jan 2029

Gonzalo Maroni due for a Cerro Largo medical

Everything agreed with Boca Juniors, everything agreed with the player; a doctor is the only person left to persuade. The photograph is a day or two away.

Squad22 Jan 2029

Tiziano Correa stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Tiziano Correa and Cerro Largo agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad22 Jan 2029

Words exchanged at Cerro Largo

Pedro González 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.

Transfer targets22 Jan 2029

No deal for Ignacio Suárez at that price

Cerro Largo offered $210.0K; Nacional said it was not close. The manager will be told the money is still there for the right player, which is what managers are told.

Door shut on Thiago Rodríguez

Cerro Largo asked and Plaza Colonia said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.
