Marked for Pol

From our football correspondent Upbeat

The dugout

Sasha Marcich says Lanús went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Market

Lanús turn down Pafos for Joel Orlando

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Market

Only the photograph left for Mariano Gerez

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Mariano Gerez will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Lanús the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Squad

A falling-out at Lanús

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

Loan watch

Vladimir Nazarov has seen enough of O'Higgins

“I am grateful for the games, but I did not become a footballer to be somebody else's spare part.” He wants to be at Lanús, and 5 appearances in 36 say he has earned the hearing.

Squad

Words at Lanús training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Jano Gordon 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.

Squad

Pol signs on for more

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

The dugout

Tomás Guidara gets picked when it counts

Every manager keeps a short list in his head of the men he wants on the pitch when the stakes rise, and it is never published. The team sheets for the big afternoons say Tomás Guidara is on it.

The dugout

Felipe Peña Biafore knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Lanús, and both men came out saying it was fine.

From our football correspondent Crisis

Match

No end in sight to Lanús's wait for a win

8 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Lanús has to find a result from somewhere.

Loan watch

24 goals on loan for Edwin Schulz

38 appearances at Villa Dálmine and the goals keep coming. Lanús are watching this more closely than the borrowing club would like.

Squad

Words exchanged at Lanús

Eduardo Salvio 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

The goals have deserted Lanús

4 matches, no goals, and a training ground that has tried everything. It will end — droughts always do — but nobody at Lanús can tell you which week it ends in.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Agustín Cardozo

“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

Tristán Suárez take the points off Lanús

Beaten 0‑2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Market

One of our own: Juan Pablo Núñez joins the Lanús first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Juan Pablo Núñez is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Market

Lanús promote Bautista Aguirre from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Bautista Aguirre 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

One of our own: Joaquín Luna joins the Lanús first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Joaquín Luna is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.
