The Godoy Cruz Herald

25 Feb 2047
From our football correspondent Upbeat

Squad

A fracture rules Jorge Martínez out for 39 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.

Player ratings

Both of them Maximiliano Bianchi's — 8.23

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.23, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Match

Godoy Cruz make it 4 in a row

Momentum is a hard thing to buy and an easy thing to lose, and right now Godoy Cruz have 4 straight wins of it.

Player ratings

Camilo Murillo was immovable

25 times he got in the way of something. Centre-halves get written about when they make mistakes and ignored when they do not, so an afternoon like this needs saying out loud: he is the reason the scoreline reads as it does.

Player ratings

Daniel Bruno was immovable

25 times he got in the way of something. Centre-halves get written about when they make mistakes and ignored when they do not, so an afternoon like this needs saying out loud: he is the reason the scoreline reads as it does.

Player ratings

Facundo Medina runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 21. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad

Words at Godoy Cruz training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Edwin Montero 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.

Match

Godoy Cruz find a way past Gimnasia y Esgrima

Gimnasia y Esgrima made Godoy Cruz work for it, but the scoreboard read 2‑0 at the end and the table does not ask how.

Squad

Home is on Patrick Grillitsch's mind

“Some mornings you wake up and you are still a long way from everything you know.” It is not the football and it never was; Godoy Cruz are dealing with a man who wants a different country.

In brief

Back issues
986 Edition

The Sturm Graz Sentinel

19 Jun 2045
From our football correspondent Crisis

Squad

A knee injury of the worst kind for Thomas Kalajdzic

73 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Sturm Graz lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Market

Patrick Grillitsch asks to leave Sturm Graz

“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 Sturm Graz

Arjan Malić 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.

Market

The Simao Dias conversation is coming

Everyone has stopped pretending: Altach will make the call about Simao Dias this week. Sturm Graz have a number in mind, and the number is not shy.

Squad

João Miranda 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.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Vicente Ortiz

“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.

In brief
