Match4 Nov 2034

A hiding for Quilmes

Beaten 0‑8 by Excursionistas, and beaten everywhere it matters. The inquest starts on the training pitch on Monday morning.

Squad6 Nov 2034

Gael Alonso keeps Quilmes in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 7 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Match4 Nov 2034

The wait goes on for Quilmes

6 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

The dugout6 Nov 2034

Agustín Bolívar frozen out at Quilmes

This is not rotation. Agustín Bolívar has not been in the manager's plans for some time, and nobody at Quilmes is pretending otherwise.

Squad6 Nov 2034

Tempers go at Quilmes

Guillermo Bassi 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.

Match4 Nov 2034

No clean sheets in sight for Quilmes

5 games now with at least two against. The back line has been rearranged, the goalkeeper has been backed publicly, and the goals keep going in anyway.

Match4 Nov 2034

8 goals as Quilmes and Excursionistas go for it

Defending was optional and nobody took up the option. 8 goals between Quilmes and Excursionistas, and not one of the people who paid to be there will ask for the money back.

Boardroom6 Nov 2034

Nobody left the Quilmes dressing room in a hurry

The door stayed shut a long time after the final whistle. What was said in there is between them; whether it worked is between them and Saturday.

Squad6 Nov 2034

Facundo Martínez signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Facundo Martínez commits to Quilmes for another 3 years.

Squad9 Oct 2034

A knee injury of the worst kind for Fernando Gutiérrez

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

Match7 Oct 2034

Chastening afternoon for Quilmes

A 0‑5 beating by Villa San Carlos was the sort of result that empties a stadium long before the final whistle.

The dugout9 Oct 2034

Agustín Bolívar frozen out at Quilmes

This is not rotation. Agustín Bolívar has not been in the manager's plans for some time, and nobody at Quilmes is pretending otherwise.

Player ratings9 Oct 2034

A chastening introduction for Juan Carlos Sosa — 5.76

It is a hard way to meet a crowd. Marked 5.76 on the day he was handed the shirt, and the important thing now is what the next one looks like.

Squad9 Oct 2034

Guillermo Bassi signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Guillermo Bassi and Quilmes agree another 1 years.

Squad9 Oct 2034

A row about effort at Quilmes

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

Squad9 Oct 2034

Miguel Moretti 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 Quilmes this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Facundo Martínez steps up from the Quilmes academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Facundo Martínez 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.

Market9 Oct 2034

Quilmes promote Pedro Medina from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Pedro Medina 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.
