Market11 Oct 2032

Bautista López hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Colegiales can pretend not to have heard.

Squad11 Oct 2032

A row about effort at Colegiales

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

Boardroom11 Oct 2032

130% of the income goes out in wages at Colegiales

Every club in football pays most of what it earns to its players. Paying nearly all of it is a different arrangement, and it has ended the same way every time somebody has tried it.

Squad11 Oct 2032

Bautista López 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 Colegiales this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

The dugout11 Oct 2032

The manager makes an example of Liam Suárez

“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.

Market11 Oct 2032

The Enzo Trinidad story refuses to die

It has been denied twice and printed three times, which is the usual arithmetic. Until Enzo Trinidad signs something — a contract at Colegiales or anywhere else — this column belongs to him.

Market11 Oct 2032

Ricardo Rey placed on the list

Colegiales have made Ricardo Rey available for transfer. A career at this club is over in all but paperwork.

The dugout11 Oct 2032

Carlos Alberto Ortiz asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

Market11 Oct 2032

Bautista López runs his contract down

4 months remain and no agreement is close. Every week without a signature costs Colegiales money.

Squad9 Aug 2032

8 saves: Gonzalo Revillod was the team

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the whole of the defence. 8 saves, several of them the kind nobody expects to see made, and ten outfield players who owe him a drink.

Transfer targets9 Aug 2032

Juan Cruz Zurbriggen will not be coming to Colegiales

Terms were offered and declined. Whether it was the wages, the role or the town, nobody at San Telmo is saying, and nobody at Colegiales is enjoying the guessing.

Squad9 Aug 2032

Federico Marín 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.

Match7 Aug 2032

Patronato take the points off Colegiales

Beaten 0‑1, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

The dugout9 Aug 2032

Franco Herrera answers for it

“The supporters are entitled to be angry. So am I. We will put it right.” 0‑1, a manager saying the necessary things, and a dressing room that heard a different version of them.

The dugout9 Aug 2032

When it matters, Santiago Strasorier plays

It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.

The dugout9 Aug 2032

Liam Suárez 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.

Market9 Aug 2032

The Lautaro Gordillo question follows Colegiales around

Every press conference now starts and ends the same way: with Lautaro Gordillo’s future. The manager has run out of new ways to say nothing.

The dugout9 Aug 2032

The plan did not have a place for Damián García

Nobody at Colegiales is suggesting he is out of form. The manager simply wanted somebody with a different set of qualities for ninety specific minutes, and there is nothing a player can train to fix that.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Boardroom2 Feb 2032

Franco Herrera signs on for the long haul

Colegiales moved before anybody else could: a new deal for Franco Herrera, agreed quietly and announced loudly. Boards extend managers for many reasons; the good one is the one this looks like.

Squad2 Feb 2032

Lautaro Gordillo signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Lautaro Gordillo commits to Colegiales for another 4 years.

Squad2 Feb 2032

Colegiales lose Matheus Lima

20 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.

Boardroom2 Feb 2032

Graduation day at Colegiales

5 boys move up, and somewhere in the building the people who coached them at twelve are quietly having the best morning of their working year. Nothing about this shows up in a result and it is why the academy exists.

Squad2 Feb 2032

Tempers go at Colegiales

Matheus Lima 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.

Market2 Feb 2032

Pablo Ferrari steps up from the Colegiales academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Pablo Ferrari 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.

Sergio Giménez steps up from the Colegiales academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Sergio Giménez 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.
