Marked for Raúl Sánchez

Squad

18 days out for Raúl Sánchez after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Deportivo Riestra will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Market

Faustino De Vito asks to leave Deportivo Riestra

“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.

Market

Jorge Luque is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Deportivo Riestra is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Squad

Words exchanged at Deportivo Riestra

Jonathan Herrera 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.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Gabriel Obredor

Successful dribbles: 22. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad

Soufiane Rahimi 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.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Ignacio Arce

“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.

Match

A bad afternoon for Deportivo Riestra against Central Córdoba SdE

0‑1 to Central Córdoba SdE, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

The dugout

Pablo Russo faces the questions

“We were not good enough today and I am not going to dress it up.” Pablo Russo after 0‑1, in the tone of a man who knows the next question and does not intend to answer it.

Squad

A fracture rules Raúl Sánchez out for 25 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Deportivo Riestra will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Squad

A row about effort at Deportivo Riestra

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

Squad

Words exchanged at Deportivo Riestra

Ramiro Funes Mori 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.

Match

A bad afternoon for Deportivo Riestra against Estudiantes

0‑1 to Estudiantes, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

The dugout

Samuel Portillo 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.

The dugout

Pablo Russo faces the questions

“We were not good enough today and I am not going to dress it up.” Pablo Russo after 0‑1, in the tone of a man who knows the next question and does not intend to answer it.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Gabriel Obredor

Successful dribbles: 13. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

The dugout

Jonathan Herrera does not fit this one

Ninety specific minutes wanted a different sort of player, and the manager picked one. He is not out of form and he is not in the side, and both are true.

Looking ahead

A reunion for Jonathan Herrera

He used to wear the other shirt. On Saturday he plays against Central Córdoba SdE in this one, and whatever he says this week about it being just another game will be untrue.

From our football correspondent Upbeat

Squad

A fracture rules Raúl Sánchez out for 32 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Deportivo Riestra will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

The dugout

Jorge Luque: 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.” Deportivo Riestra have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Squad

A falling-out at Deportivo Riestra

Cristian Paz 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 Deportivo Riestra

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.

Squad

A row about effort at Deportivo Riestra

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

The dugout

No hiding place for Antony Alonso

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Antony Alonso, and the manager let it.

Match

Deportivo Riestra find a way past Lanús

Lanús made Deportivo Riestra work for it, but the scoreboard read 2‑0 at the end and the table does not ask how.

Market

Deportivo Riestra promote Tomás Silva from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Tomás Silva 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

Deportivo Riestra promote Mateo Moreno from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Mateo Moreno 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.
