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

One of our own: Ramon Fernandez joins the Cerro Largo first team
Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Ramon Fernandez is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.
