The Ferro Carril Oeste Sentinel

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Boardroom

Carlos Alberto De Luca is out at Ferro Carril Oeste

Four paragraphs on the club website, none of them about football. The board thanked him, wished him well, and had the search under way before the page went up.

Boardroom

An empty coaching office at Ferro Carril Oeste

There is nobody left to promote and nobody left to run a session. The board have brought in a name the supporters do not know, and the question of how a club gets here will outlast whoever answers it.

Market

Cristian Matosas 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 Ferro Carril Oeste can pretend not to have heard.

Player ratings

A brace, and Simón Guajardo takes the afternoon — 8.27

There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Simón Guajardo provided it, and the 8.27 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

Boardroom

Interim Coach minds the shop at Ferro Carril Oeste

“I am not thinking past Saturday, and I would advise nobody else to.” The caretaker’s first rule is to pretend the job is small; Interim Coach recited it perfectly.

Match

The wait goes on for Ferro Carril Oeste

5 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

The dugout

Ezequiel Paz: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Ferro Carril Oeste have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Squad

A falling-out at Ferro Carril Oeste

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

Boardroom

Graduation day at Ferro Carril Oeste

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.

In brief
