Luciano Arnijas frozen out at Maipú
This is not rotation. Luciano Arnijas has not been in the manager's plans for some time, and nobody at Maipú is pretending otherwise.

The run now stands at 5, and the questions being asked around Maipú are no longer polite ones.

Matías Viguet has his eye on Europe
It is not a grievance and it is not a demand: he wants to play continental football, and he has stopped hiding it. Whether Maipú can give him that is a question about the club, not about him.

The manager makes an example of Lucas Más
“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.

Caco signs a new deal
