From our football correspondent Crisis

Boardroom

The caretaker keeps it: Gustavo Morales confirmed

A month of looking elsewhere ended where it started. He already knows every name in the building; the rest of it he now has to prove in public.

Match

Aldosivi taken apart

0‑3 to Racing Club, and it was every bit as bad as the number suggests. There are defeats you argue about and defeats you apologise for; this was the second kind.

Squad

A fracture rules Diego Andrada out for 91 days

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

The dugout

Álex Arce keeps the receipts

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

Squad

Lucas Acosta stands alone

6 saves, and a scoreline the ten men in front of him had no right to. Goalkeepers only get noticed on the bad days; this was one of the other ones.

Squad

A falling-out at Aldosivi

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

Squad

A move Julián Sardinas would have made for nothing

There is a version of every career where the player ends up somewhere he chose rather than somewhere that chose him. Julián Sardinas is living that version at Aldosivi, and it tends to show in the first month.

Boardroom

Graduation day at Aldosivi

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.

The dugout

No hiding place for Lucas Acosta

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

In brief
