Squad23 Feb 2032

Martín García stands alone

9 saves, and a scoreline the ten men in front of him had no right to. Goalkeepers only get noticed on the bad days; this was one of the other ones.

Match21 Feb 2032

No end in sight to Uruguay Montevideo's wait for a win

5 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Uruguay Montevideo has to find a result from somewhere.

Match21 Feb 2032

Sebastián Camacho’s goal not enough for Uruguay Montevideo

Sebastián Camacho scored, and precious little else went right: 1‑3 to Cerro, and a quiet walk to the dressing room.

Squad23 Feb 2032

Junior Julio 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 Uruguay Montevideo this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

The dugout23 Feb 2032

Yoimar Moreno 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.

Player ratings23 Feb 2032

Rodrigo Dinocco was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 18. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

Player ratings23 Feb 2032

Rodrigo Muníz unlocks it

Chances created: 12. The column nobody reads carried the whole story of the match, and his name was at the top of it.

The dugout23 Feb 2032

Interim Coach: “No excuses”

“I could talk about decisions and I could talk about luck. I will not. We lost.” The manager, 1‑3, and a press conference that lasted four minutes.

Squad23 Feb 2032

“I want to play”: Yoimar Moreno speaks

“I respect the manager and I am not going to sit here and pretend I am happy.” It is the most common sentence in football and it has never once been the end of a story.

Match2 Aug 2031

Uruguay Montevideo taken apart

0‑5 to Colon, and it was every bit as bad as the number suggests. There are defeats you argue about and defeats you apologise for; this was the second kind.

Squad4 Aug 2031

Sebastián Medina keeps Uruguay Montevideo in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 8 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Sebastián Camacho 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 Uruguay Montevideo this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Market4 Aug 2031

Sergio Gomez steps up from the Uruguay Montevideo academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Sergio Gomez has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

Market4 Aug 2031

Uruguay Montevideo promote Manuel Varela from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Manuel Varela has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Market4 Aug 2031

One of our own: Rodrigo Lopez joins the Uruguay Montevideo first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Rodrigo Lopez is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Facundo Cabrera steps up from the Uruguay Montevideo academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Facundo Cabrera has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

Boardroom4 Aug 2031

Doors closed at Uruguay Montevideo

The music was off and the showers ran late. What was said in that dressing room stays there, but Saturday will publish the minutes.

The dugout4 Aug 2031

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 0‑5 defeat, delivered by Interim Coach to a room that had heard them before.
