Match18 Jun 2029

Nobody above Patronato

First, on 39 points. The table is a fact and a fact is allowed to be enjoyed, which is as far as anybody at the club is prepared to go in public.

The dugout18 Jun 2029

Iván Ríos keeps the receipts

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

Transfer targets18 Jun 2029

Chuequito is a medical away from Patronato

The deal with Deportivo Armenio 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 targets18 Jun 2029

Patronato baulk at the price for Darián Romero

Quilmes wanted more than $65.0K and the board would not go there. Walked away, for now, which in a transfer window means until somebody blinks.

Squad18 Jun 2029

Words at Patronato training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Juan Pablo Barinaga 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 targets18 Jun 2029

Colón tell Patronato: Nehemías Portillo 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.

Squad18 Jun 2029

Luciano Strey signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Luciano Strey and Patronato agree another 4 years.

Squad18 Jun 2029

Words exchanged at Patronato

Jefe 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.

Market18 Jun 2029

Still no ink between Patronato and Alejandro Leiva

“We keep meeting, and we keep leaving the room with the same numbers we walked in with.” Another round of talks at Patronato, another week without a signature from Alejandro Leiva.

Player ratings12 Feb 2029

Franco Soldano scores twice — 9.06

Two goals and a mark of 9.06 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Transfer targets12 Feb 2029

Darián Romero turns down Patronato

The clubs had agreed and the player had not. A snub, and a public one: Quilmes keep him, and the supporters here are left wondering what he had heard about the place.

Squad12 Feb 2029

A falling-out at Patronato

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

Squad12 Feb 2029

Iván Ríos is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 19 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.

Match10 Feb 2029

Franco Soldano the difference as Patronato beat Quilmes

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Franco Soldano. 3‑1 against Quilmes, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

Squad12 Feb 2029

Juan Pablo Barinaga falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Transfer targets12 Feb 2029

Quilmes tell Patronato: Darián Romero 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.

The terraces12 Feb 2029

The crowd has taken to Alejandro Leiva

At 23 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.

Player ratings12 Feb 2029

Valentin Pereyra beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 17. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Squad16 Oct 2028

30 days out for Juan Pablo Barinaga after a fracture

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

The dugout16 Oct 2028

Iván Chaves: 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.” Patronato have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Market16 Oct 2028

Román Barrios 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 Patronato can pretend not to have heard.

Squad16 Oct 2028

A falling-out at Patronato

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

Squad16 Oct 2028

Words at Patronato training over how hard people work

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

Squad16 Oct 2028

Iván Ríos stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Iván Ríos and Patronato agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

The dugout16 Oct 2028

The manager makes an example of Tobias Mikkelsen

“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.

The dugout16 Oct 2028

Alejandro Leiva knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Patronato, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Market16 Oct 2028

Iván Chaves linked with a move away

The name of Iván Chaves keeps appearing in other people's back pages. Patronato say nothing, which says plenty.
