Squad

The knee: Nicolás Delmonte out for 170 days

170 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. Maipú lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

Market

Juan Cruz Arno 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 The request is on a desk at Maipú, and it is not being withdrawn.

The dugout

Luciano Ortega keeps the receipts

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

Market

Oscar Perez is a Maipú player again

He left as a boy and has come back still knowing where the away end is. Most signings have to be explained to a town; this one needed a photograph and nothing else.

The dugout

Santiago Paulini frozen out at Maipú

This is not rotation. Santiago Paulini has not been in the manager's plans for some time, and nobody at Maipú is pretending otherwise.

Boardroom

Graduation day at Maipú

3 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.

Squad

Tempers go at Maipú

Nicolás Heiz was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Match

Maipú find a way past Quilmes

Quilmes made Maipú work for it, but the scoreboard read 2‑1 at the end and the table does not ask how.

The terraces

The crowd has taken to Juan Cruz Arno

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.

Match

Maipú taken apart

1‑4 to Tristán Suárez, and it was every bit as bad as the number suggests. There are defeats you argue about and defeats you apologise for; this was the second kind.

Market

Matías Viguet 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.

The dugout

Diego Gaitán keeps the receipts

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

Match

No end in sight to Maipú's wait for a win

5 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Maipú has to find a result from somewhere.

Squad

Matías Viguet 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

Tempers go at Maipú

Aron Agüero was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

The dugout

Matías Viguet gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Market

One of our own: Daniel Ramírez joins the Maipú first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Daniel Ramírez is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Market

Maipú promote Gabriel Gómez from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Gabriel Gómez has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.
