Match

Juan Martínez breaks Dock Sud hearts

Some goals win a match and some take one off somebody else. Juan Martínez scored in the 87th minute, Dock Sud had already begun thinking about the journey home, and Temperley took the lot.

Market

Juan Pablo Bruno has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Temperley they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Market

Liam Ramírez 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 Temperley can pretend not to have heard.

Match

Nobody wants to play Temperley right now

3 wins in a row changes how opponents warm up: quieter, more glances across. Runs end, everybody knows that — but nobody in this dressing room is planning for it.

Squad

Words exchanged at Temperley

Lucas Gaona and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Squad

Words at Temperley training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Juan Martínez 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

Juan Martínez the difference as Temperley beat Dock Sud

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Juan Martínez. 2‑1 against Dock Sud, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

Player ratings

Ninety minutes of Juan Martínez at his very best

Marked 8.23. Players have careers without a single afternoon like this in them, and he has just had one in front of everybody at Temperley.

Player ratings

Lucas Gaona was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 17. 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.

The dugout

Juan Pablo Escobar keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Temperley may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Match

Temperley are shipping goals every week

Two or more conceded in each of the last 7 matches. It is not one mistake repeating itself, which would be the easier thing to fix; it is a different one every week.

Squad

Santiago de Gregorio signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Santiago de Gregorio and Temperley agree another 2 years.

Boardroom

5 academy graduates step up at Temperley

Senior shirt numbers handed to boys the coaches have known since they were twelve. Most will not make it and all of them have already done the hard part.

Squad

Juan Martínez 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

A falling-out at Temperley

Hicham Mahrez and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Market

Temperley promote Liam Ramírez from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Liam Ramírez 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.

One of our own: Valentín Ferreyra joins the Temperley first team

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

One of our own: Benicio Fernández joins the Temperley first team

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