Tomás Arce damages knee ligaments — 18 days out
The words a physio says slowly. 18 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.
Match22 Mar 2036
No mercy from San Lorenzo
Defensa y Justicia will want this one forgotten quickly: 4‑0, every duel lost, and a long ride home. San Lorenzo were ruthless in the way good sides are ruthless.

Diego Barros takes the match ball home
3 goals in one afternoon from one man. The other players were also present, a witness confirmed.

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” San Lorenzo may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Alexis González will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around San Lorenzo the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Tomás O'Connor 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 San Lorenzo this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.
Match22 Mar 2036
San Lorenzo cannot stop winning
3 wins on the spin now, and the question has changed from whether the run ends to who ends it. Confidence like this cannot be bought; it has to be earned exactly this way.

Every footballer has an answer to the question about his boyhood club, and most of them never get to act on it. Marcos Peano has, at San Lorenzo, and the first month will show what that does to a man.

Diego Barros was on a different afternoon to everybody else
9.51. There are performances a supporter describes to somebody who was not there and cannot quite convey; this was one, and the number does not help either.
