Market

Bautista Rojas asks to leave Maipú

“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.

Squad

Juan Pablo Gobetto 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 Maipú this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Market

Matías Viguet told to find a new club

“They were honest with me, and I would rather know.” Matías Viguet has been informed he is not in the manager's thinking at Maipú.

Squad

A row about effort at Maipú

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

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Luciano Paredes

“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 dugout

Matías Viguet asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

Boardroom

Open for business: Maipú enter the window

The registration window is open and the phone has started. Between now and the deadline this club will be linked with forty players and sign three, which is the usual ratio.

Squad

Aaron Vera: “I am not a substitute”

“I have done everything asked of me in training and it has not changed a thing on a Saturday.” The most familiar complaint in football, and one Maipú will have to answer with minutes or with a transfer.

Market

The Gastón Mansilla talk will not go away

Another week, another link, another denial nobody quite believes. Maipú know the market decides these things, not the back pages — but the back pages are louder.

Market

Bautista Rojas steps up from the Maipú academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Bautista Rojas 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.

Squad

Nicolás Heiz 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.

Squad

Mateo Ortale signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Mateo Ortale commits to Maipú for another 4 years.

The dugout

Gastón Mansilla asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

The dugout

No hiding place for Pablo Latorre

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