The Talleres Chronicle
Squad25 Jun 2035
The knee: Alvaro Rivera out for 161 days
161 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. Talleres lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.
The terraces25 Jun 2035
The mood at Talleres has turned into something else
Supporters who sing when it goes badly are supporters. Supporters who gather afterwards are a problem, and everybody inside the building knows which of the two this now is.
Match19 Jun 2035
Talleres taken apart
1‑4 to Villa San Carlos, 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.
Squad25 Jun 2035
Raúl Rodríguez is carrying Talleres
24 goals and a season average of 7.26. Form like that gets noticed well beyond this town.
Squad25 Jun 2035
Martín Pereyra stands alone
6 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.
Transfer targets25 Jun 2035
Fee done, terms next for Franco Rossi
Talleres and Defensa y Justicia have settled on $79.0K. The rest belongs to the player and his agent, and a supporter who has watched one of these before knows not to buy the shirt yet.
Market25 Jun 2035
Jefe asks to leave Talleres
“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.
The dugout25 Jun 2035
Lucas Morales: that is not what I was promised
“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Talleres have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.
Transfer targets25 Jun 2035
Luis Alberto Álvarez turns down Talleres
The clubs had agreed and the player had not. A snub, and a public one: River Plate keep him, and the supporters here are left wondering what he had heard about the place.
