The dugout

Eugenio Raggio keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Platense may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Squad

Tempers go at Platense

Nico López 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.

Squad

A muscle injury and 14 days out for Benicio Campos

The most common injury in the game and the most rushed back from. Platense will quote 14 days and will be careful with it, because the second one is always worse than the first.

Squad

A row about effort at Platense

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

Loan watch

Ivo Visona keeps scoring at Panionios

11 appearances away from home and 6 goals to show for them. Every one of them makes next summer's conversation a little more expensive.

The dugout

Bautista Merlini 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 Bautista Merlini is on it.

Market

Zamalek come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Platense did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Player ratings

Iván Gómez pops up at the right end — 7.74

7.74, 1 on the scoresheet, and the specific comedy of a back-four player celebrating like somebody who does this every week. He does not, and that is exactly why the ground reacted the way it did.

Squad

Ignacio Vázquez signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Ignacio Vázquez commits to Platense for another 4 years.

Squad

Nico López 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 Platense this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match

Iván Gómez’s goal not enough for Platense

Iván Gómez scored, and precious little else went right: 1‑2 to Newell's Old Boys, and a quiet walk to the dressing room.

The dugout

No hiding place for Bruno Sepúlveda

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

Market

Benicio Campos steps up from the Platense academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Benicio Campos has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

Market

Franco Otero steps up from the Platense academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Franco Otero has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

Market

One of our own: Facundo Domínguez joins the Platense first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Facundo Domínguez is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.
