The Nueva Chicago Sentinel
Match1 Mar 2036
Nueva Chicago run riot against Patronato
3‑0, and the margin flattered nobody — it could have carried another goal or two without complaint. Afternoons like this are why people keep coming.

A brace, and Matías Bergara takes the afternoon — 8.27
There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Matías Bergara provided it, and the 8.27 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.
Match1 Mar 2036
Nueva Chicago make it 4 in a row
Momentum is a hard thing to buy and an easy thing to lose, and right now Nueva Chicago have 4 straight wins of it.

Sergio Vega asks to leave Nueva Chicago
“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.

Mateo Abreu 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.
Match1 Mar 2036
Another one collected away from home
3 on the bounce on the road for Nueva Chicago. The coaches leave early, arrive at unlovely grounds in the dark, and keep coming home with three points.

A masterclass from Lautaro Bilbao
Marked 8.08 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.

Gustavo Suárez is the month’s best young player
At 16 he was better than everybody his age in the division for four weeks running, which is harder than one good afternoon. Nueva Chicago will try not to make too much of it.
In brief
- Squad Russo signs a new deal
- The dugout Interim Coach: “That is the standard”
