The Quilmes Chronicle
Squad8 Feb 2027
A knee injury of the worst kind for Leonardo Sassi
70 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Quilmes lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.
Squad8 Feb 2027
Santiago Adrover breaks a bone — 131 days out
Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 131 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.
The dugout8 Feb 2027
Thomas Ortega keeps the receipts
“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Quilmes may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.
Match6 Feb 2027
7 matches without a win for Quilmes
The run now stands at 7, and the questions being asked around Quilmes are no longer polite ones.
Market8 Feb 2027
Luciano Cuella puts it in writing
“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Quilmes, and it is not being withdrawn.
Boardroom8 Feb 2027
The Quilmes board want somebody sold
The instruction has come from upstairs rather than from the dugout, which is the version of this conversation no manager enjoys. Somebody in that squad is now available whether the man who picks the team thinks so or not.
Player ratings8 Feb 2027
Axel Batista has a hand in both — 7.65
One scored and one made, which is a different afternoon from scoring twice and an easier one to overlook. Marked 7.65, and involved in 2 of his side's goals.
Boardroom8 Feb 2027
Graduation day at Quilmes
4 boys move up, and somewhere in the building the people who coached them at twelve are quietly having the best morning of their working year. Nothing about this shows up in a result and it is why the academy exists.
Match6 Feb 2027
Quilmes come up short against Flandria
Flandria left with the points after a 2‑3 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.
In brief
- Squad Ramiro Luna falls out with a teammate over standards
- Squad Ulises Vera in a row with a teammate
- Market One of our own: Bichi joins the Quilmes first team
