The Almagro Chronicle

From our football correspondent Upbeat

Market23 Jul 2035

Gabriel Suárez 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 Almagro can pretend not to have heard.

Boardroom23 Jul 2035

Almagro close the window on a squad of their own making

8 in and 17 out, and no more changes for months. The manager has what he has, the supporters have their opinion of it, and the table will have the last word.

Transfer targets23 Jul 2035

Doctor will not be coming to Almagro

Terms were offered and declined. Whether it was the wages, the role or the town, nobody at Defensa y Justicia is saying, and nobody at Almagro is enjoying the guessing.

Market23 Jul 2035

César Germán Andrés Paiber comes home

The shirt still fits. César Germán Andrés Paiber is back at Almagro, and half the ground remembers him in these colours already. Some signings need selling to the town; this one sold itself.

Transfer targets23 Jul 2035

Defensa y Justicia tell Almagro: Benicio Luna 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.

Squad23 Jul 2035

Julián Correa 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.

Match21 Jul 2035

Almagro get the job done against Defensores

A 1‑0 win over Defensores, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

Squad23 Jul 2035

Almagro count the cost of losing Facundo Luna

37 days, the scan says, and scans are kinder than reality. The fixtures in that window have just become somebody else’s job.

Squad23 Jul 2035

No place for Julián Correa in the new shape

He is not being dropped. There is simply nowhere in the formation Almagro are playing to put a man who does what he does, which is a harder thing to be told than any team sheet.

The Almagro Chronicle

28 May 2035
From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad28 May 2035

10 saves: Franco Monla was the team

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the whole of the defence. 10 saves, several of them the kind nobody expects to see made, and ten outfield players who owe him a drink.

Market28 May 2035

Pedro Ojeda 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 Almagro, and it is not being withdrawn.

Player ratings28 May 2035

Nothing got past Mateo Cirigliano

22 defensive actions and a clean sheet at the end of them. A defender's afternoon can only be told by what did not happen, which is why nobody makes a highlights package out of one and every manager in the division would take it.

Squad28 May 2035

Words at Almagro training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Enzo Silcan 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.

Squad28 May 2035

Facundo Luna signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Facundo Luna and Almagro agree another 3 years.

The dugout28 May 2035

Half-satisfied: Interim Coach on the draw

“There are things I liked and things we will be doing on Tuesday until they are right.” 0‑0, and a manager who had already decided what Tuesday looked like.

The dugout28 May 2035

Benicio Correa gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Squad28 May 2035

Mateo Sánchez, 18, is the weekend’s best young player

Measured against every other kid in the division and first among them. The senior award is where Almagro would like this to lead.

Match26 May 2035

Point won or two lost for Almagro?

Ninety minutes, no goals, and the argument started before the car park emptied: a point gained, or two thrown away against Sacachispas? Both sides of it will still be going on Thursday.

In brief
