Market21 Feb 2028

Mauricio Lemos 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 Penarol can pretend not to have heard.

Market21 Feb 2028

Lorenzo Couture has one foot out of the door

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

Squad21 Feb 2028

A falling-out at Penarol

Luis Mejía and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Player ratings21 Feb 2028

Franco González runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 20. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Match19 Feb 2028

Penarol see off Juventud

Three points for Penarol, 1‑0 the final word against Juventud in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Market21 Feb 2028

Pablo Palacio wants European nights

The general version of this complaint is that a player wants more. The specific version names the thing: he wants to walk out under floodlights against clubs from other countries, and he has stopped pretending otherwise.

Squad21 Feb 2028

Words at Penarol training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Matías González 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.

Squad21 Feb 2028

Appearance number 100 for Franco González

100 games in this shirt, through managers and relegations and everything else. Service like it is disappearing from the game and the crowd knows what it is watching.

The afternoon belonged to Leonardo Fernández

A mark of 7.93, and nobody in the ground would argue with it. He was involved in everything that mattered and most of what did not.

The dugout14 Feb 2028

Elías Gómez says Penarol 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.

Player ratings14 Feb 2028

Franco González was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 26. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

Boardroom14 Feb 2028

Emiliano Rios signs on for the long haul

Penarol moved before anybody else could: a new deal for Emiliano Rios, agreed quietly and announced loudly. Boards extend managers for many reasons; the good one is the one this looks like.

Match12 Feb 2028

Penarol end the wait against Fenix

It had gone 7 games. The players did not celebrate like men who had won a match; they celebrated like men who had been let out of something.

Boardroom14 Feb 2028

Graduation day at Penarol

6 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.

Market14 Feb 2028

One of our own: Thiago Morales joins the Penarol first team

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

Market14 Feb 2028

Juan Torres steps up from the Penarol academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Juan Torres has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

Market14 Feb 2028

Penarol promote Ivan Gimenez from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Ivan Gimenez 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.

Market14 Feb 2028

Penarol promote Manuel Aguirre from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Manuel Aguirre 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.
