Marked for Facundo Arce

Squad

The knee: Facundo Arce out for 19 days

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

Market

Matías Ferrari hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Chaco For Ever can pretend not to have heard.

Market

Lucas Sauer is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Chaco For Ever is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

The dugout

Alan Luque frozen out at Chaco For Ever

This is not rotation. Alan Luque has not been in the manager's plans for some time, and nobody at Chaco For Ever is pretending otherwise.

Squad

David Valdez 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 Chaco For Ever this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Brian Guerra 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.

Match

Chaco For Ever refuse to lose to San Telmo

A point taken on 85 minutes is worth exactly one point and considerably more than that to a dressing room. This side does not stop, which is a reputation worth more than the result.

Match

Honours even between Chaco For Ever and San Telmo

2‑2, and both dressing rooms will call it two points lost. A draw that asked plenty of questions and answered none of them.

Market

No place for Joaquín Jara in the plan

“The manager did not use many words, and he did not need to.” Joaquín Jara has his answer from Chaco For Ever; what he does with it is the next window’s story.

From our football correspondent Steady

Squad

The knee: Facundo Arce out for 26 days

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

Market

Brian Nievas hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Chaco For Ever can pretend not to have heard.

Squad

Tempers go at Chaco For Ever

David Valdez 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.

Squad

Words at Chaco For Ever training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Brian Guerra 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.

The dugout

Brian Guerra knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Chaco For Ever, and both men came out saying it was fine.

The dugout

No hiding place for Ticiano Martínez

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

The dugout

When it matters, Brian Nievas 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.

Looking ahead

Agustín Ojeda faces his old club

San Telmo next, and one man in the Chaco For Ever dressing room knows their training ground better than his own. The reception will tell him what they thought of him.

Market

The Agustín Ojeda story refuses to die

It has been denied twice and printed three times, which is the usual arithmetic. Until Agustín Ojeda signs something — a contract at Chaco For Ever or anywhere else — this column belongs to him.
