Leandro Ledesma 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 The request is on a desk at Chaco For Ever, and it is not being withdrawn.

A falling-out at Chaco For Ever

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

Squad2 Apr 2029

Mathías Silvera 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.

Squad2 Apr 2029

Chaco For Ever take the armband off Andres Lioi

It will be explained as a change for the team and it may even be one. Nobody who has worn one believes that, and neither does the man who has just had it taken away.

The dugout2 Apr 2029

Joaquín Jara 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.

The dugout2 Apr 2029

A promise honoured for Agustín Aguirre

It is not much of a headline and it is the reason players believe the next promise. Chaco For Ever told Agustín Aguirre something would happen and then it happened, which in this industry passes for remarkable.

Market2 Apr 2029

The Juan Manuel Carrizo question follows Chaco For Ever around

Every press conference now starts and ends the same way: with Juan Manuel Carrizo’s future. The manager has run out of new ways to say nothing.

Market2 Apr 2029

Joaquín Jara placed on the list

Chaco For Ever have made Joaquín Jara available for transfer. A career at this club is over in all but paperwork.

Squad2 Apr 2029

Gastón Canuto handed the armband

The captaincy goes to Gastón Canuto. It is not a job that wins matches, but a dressing room always notices who is given it.

From our football correspondent Upbeat

Market14 Feb 2028

Juan Manuel Carrizo asks to leave Chaco For Ever

“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 dugout14 Feb 2028

Andres Lioi frozen out at Chaco For Ever

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

Player ratings14 Feb 2028

Agustín Ojeda was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 23. 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.

Squad14 Feb 2028

Gastón Canuto 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.

Match12 Feb 2028

Tomás Bolzicco the difference as Chaco For Ever beat Argentino de Quilmes

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Tomás Bolzicco. 1‑0 against Argentino de Quilmes, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

Player ratings14 Feb 2028

Nobody on the pitch touched Tomás Bolzicco

7.64, and no serious argument from anybody who was there. Chaco For Ever had eleven men on the pitch and one of them decided how it went.

Squad14 Feb 2028

Brujo signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Brujo commits to Chaco For Ever for another 3 years.

The dugout14 Feb 2028

The manager’s verdict

“I am not going to get carried away and I will not let them either. It was a good day. There will be harder ones.” Lucas Sosa kept it short after the 1‑0 win, which is what managers do when they are happy.

The dugout14 Feb 2028

When it matters, Gastón Canuto 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.

Alejandro Aquino 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 Chaco For Ever, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad7 Feb 2028

Leandro Ledesma keeps Chaco For Ever in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 6 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Boardroom7 Feb 2028

Chaco For Ever tie Lucas Sosa down

A new deal for the man in the dugout, and the clearest thing a board can say without calling a press conference about it. Stability is cheap to promise and expensive to deliver.

Squad7 Feb 2028

Words exchanged at Chaco For Ever

David Valdez 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.

Boardroom7 Feb 2028

Graduation day at Chaco For Ever

5 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.

Market7 Feb 2028

One of our own: Brujo joins the Chaco For Ever first team

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

Market7 Feb 2028

Joaquín Di María steps up from the Chaco For Ever academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Joaquín Di María 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.

Market7 Feb 2028

Julián Muñoz steps up from the Chaco For Ever academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Julián Muñoz 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.

Match5 Feb 2028

Dock Sud take the points off Chaco For Ever

Beaten 0‑1, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.
