Market

Tarta asks to leave Colegiales

“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.

Squad

Words at Colegiales training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Federico Marín 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.

Squad

Words exchanged at Colegiales

Leonel Ramírez and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

The dugout

Mario Ríos frozen out at Colegiales

This is not rotation. Mario Ríos has not been in the manager's plans for some time, and nobody at Colegiales is pretending otherwise.

The dugout

Facundo Montiel knocks on the manager’s door

“Thirty minutes, door closed, everything said. We shook hands after.” Whatever was in the room stayed in the room, and Facundo Montiel trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.

The dugout

Pablo Cabrera 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.

The dugout

Daniel Iglesias is still paying for one afternoon at Colegiales

Nobody will confirm this and nothing else explains the last month of selections. A costly error buys a player a period of being second choice that is always longer than the error was.

Market

Enzo Trinidad linked with a move away

The name of Enzo Trinidad keeps appearing in other people's back pages. Colegiales say nothing, which says plenty.

Squad

Facundo Montiel wants to know why he earns less

Numbers do not stay secret in a dressing room. He is not asking for more than he is worth; he is asking why somebody beside him is worth more, and Colegiales have no good answer.

Market

Only the photograph left for Facundo Montiel

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Facundo Montiel will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Colegiales the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Squad

A falling-out at Colegiales

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

The dugout

Tarta frozen out at Colegiales

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

Squad

A row about effort at Colegiales

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Facundo Montiel was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

The dugout

No hiding place for Maximiliano Mohr

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

Loan watch

Daichi Inoue wants to come home

“I did not go to Shonan Bellmare to sit and watch. I want to come back to Colegiales and fight for my place.” 2 appearances in 6 matches say the rest.

Market

The Federico Marín story refuses to die

It has been denied twice and printed three times, which is the usual arithmetic. Until Federico Marín signs something — a contract at Colegiales or anywhere else — this column belongs to him.

Market

Still no signature from Leonel Ramírez

2 months left and the two sides are nowhere near each other. Every week this drags on takes money off what Colegiales could get for him.

The dugout

Pablo Cabrera asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

In brief
