The Talleres Chronicle
Match9 Mar 2030
No end in sight to Talleres's wait for a win
9 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Talleres has to find a result from somewhere.
Match6 Mar 2030
The small margins put Talleres out
Out, 0‑1 to Chaco For Ever, and the long argument about which of the small moments decided it. The league is all there is now, and everybody knows it.
Match9 Mar 2030
Talleres cannot find the net
9 games without scoring. Strikers stop looking up, midfielders take the extra touch, and every shot that clears the bar is followed by a groan that has been building since the last goal.
Player ratings11 Mar 2030
Federico Versaci runs at them all day
Successful dribbles: 25. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.
Match9 Mar 2030
Deportivo Riestra take the points off Talleres
Beaten 0‑2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.
The dugout11 Mar 2030
The manager’s verdict
“That is on me. I pick the team and I picked wrong.” Managers say that when they mean it and when they need to be seen to, and after 0‑2 Jack Richardson left the room before anybody could ask which.
Looking ahead11 Mar 2030
The leaders are next for Talleres
San Martín SJ top the table and they are coming into view. Nothing to lose, which is what every manager says before losing.
The dugout11 Mar 2030
Iván Ferreyra 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.
Squad11 Mar 2030
A first team debut at 16 for Fernando Ferrari
Off the academy pitches and into a senior shirt, at 16. The parents in the stand will keep the programme, and so will he.
In brief
