Carlos Medel 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 Universidad de Chile this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Words at Universidad de Chile training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Weimar Vivas 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.

Squad19 Jan 2043

Nicolas Aranguiz has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Universidad de Chile will say this on the record and the team sheets have been saying it for weeks. There is a small group in every squad who get picked when the fixture is difficult, and he has joined it.

Squad18 Aug 2042

Lucas Mihovilcevich says Universidad de Chile went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Market18 Aug 2042

Matias Sagal has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Universidad de Chile they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Match16 Aug 2042

Whatever happens, Universidad de Chile do not lose

6 games unbeaten now. Some were earned and some were survived, but a habit is forming — and habits are the hardest thing in football to play against.

Squad18 Aug 2042

Cristian Florez 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.

Squad18 Aug 2042

No hiding place for Diego Carreño

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

Squad18 Aug 2042

Enzo Ngoma signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Enzo Ngoma commits to Universidad de Chile for another 1 years.

Match16 Aug 2042

Guillermo Davila rescues a point for Universidad de Chile

It needed Guillermo Davila to find the net to bring anything home at all: 2‑2 against Union Espanola, and half the dressing room will call it a point won.

Market18 Aug 2042

The Nicolas Aranguiz talk will not go away

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

Player ratings18 Aug 2042

Nobody could get near René Mitongo

Successful dribbles: 11. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad20 Jan 2042

Carlos Sagal damages knee ligaments — 77 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 77 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Radja Tielemans has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Universidad de Chile they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Squad20 Jan 2042

Words at Universidad de Chile training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Vicente Vergara 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.

Squad20 Jan 2042

Yéli Traoré 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 Universidad de Chile this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad20 Jan 2042

When it matters, René Mitongo plays

It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.

Market20 Jan 2042

The Nicolas Aranguiz story refuses to die

It has been denied twice and printed three times, which is the usual arithmetic. Until Nicolas Aranguiz signs something — a contract at Universidad de Chile or anywhere else — this column belongs to him.
