Squad8 Oct 2029

A fracture rules Facundo Altamira out for 19 days

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

Market8 Oct 2029

Brian Orosco has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Godoy Cruz they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Squad8 Oct 2029

Tempers go at Godoy Cruz

Tomás Pozzo 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.

Squad8 Oct 2029

A row about effort at Godoy Cruz

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

Match6 Oct 2029

Central Córdoba SdE take the points off Godoy Cruz

Beaten 1‑2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

The dugout8 Oct 2029

No hiding place for Luis Ingolotti

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

Squad8 Oct 2029

Godoy Cruz lose Polaco

17 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.

Boardroom8 Oct 2029

Godoy Cruz release $22.3M for the manager

The board have put money on the table rather than an encouraging word. What happens to it now is somebody else's problem, and somebody else's job.

The dugout8 Oct 2029

The view from the dugout

“We will look at it, we will learn from it, and we go again.” The three sentences every manager keeps for a 1‑2 defeat, delivered by Thomas Fischer to a room that had heard them before.

Squad11 Sep 2028

The knee: Polaco out for 19 days

19 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. Godoy Cruz lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

The dugout11 Sep 2028

Brian Orosco keeps the receipts

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

Market11 Sep 2028

Gonzalo Quinteros is on his way

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

Squad11 Sep 2028

Lucas Ferreira in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Godoy Cruz this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

The dugout11 Sep 2028

The manager makes an example of Gabriel Sánchez

“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.

The dugout11 Sep 2028

Matías Ramírez has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Godoy Cruz 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.

Squad11 Sep 2028

Santiago Martínez named player of the week

One weekend, judged against everybody else's. Santiago Martínez has come out on top of it, and for most footballers a weekly award is the only silverware a career ever produces.

Loan watch11 Sep 2028

Agustín Auzmendi keeps scoring at Sporting Cristal

22 appearances away from home and 7 goals to show for them. Every one of them makes next summer's conversation a little more expensive.

Market11 Sep 2028

Luis Ingolotti linked with a move away

The name of Luis Ingolotti keeps appearing in other people's back pages. Godoy Cruz say nothing, which says plenty.

The terraces7 Feb 2028

The mood at Godoy Cruz has turned into something else

Supporters who sing when it goes badly are supporters. Supporters who gather afterwards are a problem, and everybody inside the building knows which of the two this now is.

Squad7 Feb 2028

Exequiel Menegón damages knee ligaments — 73 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 73 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

The dugout7 Feb 2028

Roberto Ramírez keeps the receipts

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

Squad7 Feb 2028

6 saves: Luis Ingolotti was the team

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the whole of the defence. 6 saves, several of them the kind nobody expects to see made, and ten outfield players who owe him a drink.

Market7 Feb 2028

Exequiel Menegón 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 Godoy Cruz, and it is not being withdrawn.

Boardroom7 Feb 2028

Graduation day at Godoy Cruz

2 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.

Match5 Feb 2028

3 matches without a goal for Godoy Cruz

The chances are being made and something is happening between the making and the finishing. 3 matches now, and the anxiety in the ground arrives a little earlier every week.

Squad7 Feb 2028

Tempers go at Godoy Cruz

Francisco Gerometta 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 dugout7 Feb 2028

No hiding place for Tomás Pozzo

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