The Estudiantes Chronicle
Match6 Feb 2027
Estudiantes tear Defensores Unidos apart
Rarely has this fixture seen a display like it: 3‑0 against Defensores Unidos, and it could have been more.
Market8 Feb 2027
Ezequiel Almirón hands in a written request
“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Estudiantes can pretend not to have heard.
Player ratings8 Feb 2027
Both of them Ezequiel Almirón's — 8.85
2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.85, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.
The dugout8 Feb 2027
Fernando Duré: that is not what I was promised
“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Estudiantes have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.
Squad8 Feb 2027
Rodrigo Melo 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 Estudiantes this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.
Boardroom8 Feb 2027
3 academy graduates step up at Estudiantes
Senior shirt numbers handed to boys the coaches have known since they were twelve. Most will not make it and all of them have already done the hard part.
Squad8 Feb 2027
Words at Estudiantes training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Franco Quinteros 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 targets8 Feb 2027
Estudiantes rebuffed over Mattia Ciancaglini
Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Almagro have kept their man, and Estudiantes go back to a list with one name crossed off it.
Match6 Feb 2027
The drought breaks for Estudiantes
5 without a win is the sort of run that changes how a town talks about its club, and Defensores Unidos were the afternoon it stopped. Nothing is fixed by one result and everything feels different by one.
