Francisco Ortíz 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 Independiente Rivadavia this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

A row about effort at Independiente Rivadavia
Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Renzo Giampaoli was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

No hiding place for Eduardo Sepúlveda
“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Eduardo Sepúlveda, and the manager let it.

The formation has left Lautaro Morales behind
Every shape has positions in it and this one does not have his. Independiente Rivadavia will either change the shape, change his job, or change his club, and he is waiting to hear which.

Stiwar Veira has become a man the manager trusts
Nobody at Independiente Rivadavia 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.

Lautaro Closter knocks on the manager's door
“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Independiente Rivadavia, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Still no ink between Independiente Rivadavia and Eduardo Sepúlveda
“We keep meeting, and we keep leaving the room with the same numbers we walked in with.” Another round of talks at Independiente Rivadavia, another week without a signature from Eduardo Sepúlveda.

Still no signature from Patrickson Delgado
1 months left and the two sides are nowhere near each other. Every week this drags on takes money off what Independiente Rivadavia could get for him.
