Squad

Tempers go at Cerro

Alejo Macelli 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

A row about effort at Cerro

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

Market

A year in the wrong dressing room for Iván Cartés

He went out to keep goal every week and came back with 3 games and 2 of them shut out. Somebody at Cerro argued for this move last summer; nobody is arguing for it now.

The dugout

When it matters, Óscar Cabezas 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.

The dugout

Alejandro Nalerio 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.

Market

Iván Cartés placed on the list

Cerro have made Iván Cartés available for transfer. A career at this club is over in all but paperwork.

Squad

Words exchanged at Cerro

Alejo Macelli 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.

Market

Huracan Buceo join the queue for Bruno Morales

Add another name to the list: Huracan Buceo have asked the question everybody in the game has been asking about Bruno Morales. The answer from Cerro has not changed — yet.

Transfer targets

Lucas Viana stays at Progreso as time runs out

A deal that was a phone call from completion at lunchtime was dead by midnight. Cerro will try again when the window opens; Progreso may not be selling by then.

Transfer targets

Montevideo City Torque tell Cerro: Agustín Alaniz is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

One of our own: Ivan Rossi joins the Cerro first team

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

Market

Cerro promote Luis Morales from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Luis Morales 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.

Market

One of our own: Brian Alvarez joins the Cerro first team

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

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Thiago Salischiker Rucci

“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.

Squad

Words at Cerro training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Ignacio Neira 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.
