Player ratings19 Apr 2038

Age has not caught Alexis Leguizamón yet — 8.88

At 34 he is supposed to be managing his minutes. Instead he was marked 8.88 and looked, for ninety minutes, exactly like the player everybody remembers.

Match17 Apr 2038

Almirante Brown hit back inside 2 minutes

Estudiantes held the lead for 2 minutes, which is not long enough to enjoy it. Almirante Brown answered before the celebration had properly finished, and the shape of the afternoon changed with it.

Squad19 Apr 2038

Iván Arias signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Iván Arias commits to Almirante Brown for another 2 years.

Squad19 Apr 2038

A promise honoured for Edwin Cordoba

It is not much of a headline and it is the reason players believe the next promise. Almirante Brown told Edwin Cordoba something would happen and then it happened, which in this industry passes for remarkable.

Match17 Apr 2038

Almirante Brown share the spoils with Estudiantes

A 1‑1 draw with Estudiantes leaves the dressing room somewhere between relief and regret.

Squad19 Apr 2038

Roberto Ibáñez dropped after a run of poor form

The one version of being left out a player cannot argue with, and the one he takes worst. Somebody else has been better and the team sheet says so, in public, every week until it changes.

Player ratings19 Apr 2038

Nobody could get near Fabián Báez

Successful dribbles: 12. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Market19 Apr 2038

Fabián Báez linked with a move away

The name of Fabián Báez keeps appearing in other people's back pages. Almirante Brown say nothing, which says plenty.

Squad19 Apr 2038

The manager has not finished forgetting Ezequiel Russo's mistake

Publicly it is behind everybody. It is not behind the man who picks the team, and the only place that shows is a team sheet. He will get another chance; he will get it in a match that matters less.

Market21 Dec 2037

Michele Lombardi asks to leave Almirante Brown

“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.

Squad21 Dec 2037

Words at Almirante Brown training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Franco Silva 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.

Market21 Dec 2037

The Ariel Imperial question follows Almirante Brown around

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

Squad21 Dec 2037

Bautista Di María has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Almirante Brown 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.

Market21 Dec 2037

Talks stall between Almirante Brown and Iván Arias

“We are a long way apart, and pretending otherwise helps nobody.” Neither side is close, and the calendar is not on the club's side.

Squad21 Dec 2037

José Luis Gutiérrez knocks on the manager’s door

“Thirty minutes, door closed, everything said. We shook hands after.” Whatever was in the room stayed in the room, and José Luis Gutiérrez trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.

Squad26 Jan 2037

Chori breaks a bone — 32 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 32 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Market26 Jan 2037

Jorge Peralta 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 Almirante Brown, and it is not being withdrawn.

Market26 Jan 2037

The Ariel Imperial talk will not go away

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

Market26 Jan 2037

Still no signature from Jorge Peralta

1 months left and the two sides are nowhere near each other. Every week this drags on takes money off what Almirante Brown could get for him.

Squad26 Jan 2037

Chori 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.

Market26 Jan 2037

The shop window has Iván Arias in it

Almirante Brown have let the market know Iván Arias can be had. No price in the advert, but everyone in the trade knows roughly what it says.

The terraces15 Dec 2036

Anger at Almirante Brown spills outside the ground

It has stopped being a mood in the stands and started being something organised. Boards can ignore a bad atmosphere for a long time; they cannot ignore this stage of it for very long at all.

Market15 Dec 2036

Rafa 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 Almirante Brown can pretend not to have heard.

Squad15 Dec 2036

A muscle injury sidelines Felipe García for 17 days

Nobody makes a documentary about a hamstring and everybody in the game fears one. Almirante Brown will be careful with the return date, because the second one is always worse than the first.
