From our football correspondent Crisis

Squad

A knee injury of the worst kind for Topo

26 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Gimnasia y Tiro lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Market

Felipe Karabulut asks to leave Gimnasia y Tiro

“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.

Player ratings

No sign of nerves from Felipe Karabulut at 20 — 7.67

The hardest thing about being 20 in a senior side is that nobody makes allowances. Felipe Karabulut did not need any: 7.67, and he looked the most comfortable man on the pitch.

The dugout

Joel Gordillo says Gimnasia y Tiro 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.

Transfer targets

An offer of $1.0M for Uriel Iehara

Gimnasia y Tiro have gone to Estudiantes with a bid, and the supporters have gone to the internet with an opinion about it. Whether either changes anything is up to the selling club.

Transfer targets

Gimnasia y Tiro make their move for Joaquín Cornaglia

$150.0K on the table at Belgrano. The manager wanted him, the board agreed a number, and the only voices still to be heard are the ones at the other club.

Squad

Manuel Guanini 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 Gimnasia y Tiro this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Boardroom

Graduation day at Gimnasia y Tiro

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.

Match

A bad afternoon for Gimnasia y Tiro against Madryn

1‑2 to Madryn, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

In brief
