Market

Atlanta say no — this time

The offer from First Vienna for Federico Bisanz was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Market

David Maguicha asks to leave Atlanta

“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.

Squad

Tempers go at Atlanta

Alejo Dramisino was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

The dugout

Tomás Castro Ponce 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.

Squad

Words at Atlanta training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Duro 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.

Market

The Braian Rivero question follows Atlanta around

Every press conference now starts and ends the same way: with Braian Rivero’s future. The manager has run out of new ways to say nothing.

Squad

Words exchanged at Atlanta

Alejo Dramisino 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.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Tomás Castro Ponce

“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.

Squad

Ignacio Della Vedova 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

Tomás Rojas asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

Market

The Martín García talk will not go away

Another week, another link, another denial nobody quite believes. Atlanta know the market decides these things, not the back pages — but the back pages are louder.

The dugout

David Maguicha has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Atlanta will say this on the record and the team sheets have been saying it for weeks. There is a small group in every squad who get picked when the fixture is difficult, and he has joined it.

In brief

  • Match Continental football is in reach for Atlanta
  • Squad Tomás Rojas has seen what the next man earns
  • The dugout The manager makes Román Herrera a promise
  • Squad Duro is out on the grass again
