Squad

66 days out for Jorge González after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Fenix will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Squad

Words exchanged at Fenix

Cecilio Waterman 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

Lautaro Centurión 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.

The dugout

No hiding place for Sebastián Guerrero

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Sebastián Guerrero, and the manager let it.

The dugout

Gastón Colmán is still paying for one afternoon at Fenix

Nobody will confirm this and nothing else explains the last month of selections. A costly error buys a player a period of being second choice that is always longer than the error was.

The dugout

Esteban González 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.

Squad

A fracture rules Jorge González out for 96 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Fenix will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Squad

Words exchanged at Fenix

Cecilio Waterman 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

Juan Manuel Nieto is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 19 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.

Squad

Words at Fenix training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Agustín Dávila 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.

The dugout

No hiding place for Ángel Rodríguez

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Ángel Rodríguez, and the manager let it.

The dugout

Fabricio Fernández knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Fenix, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Match

Cup progress for Fenix

A 4‑1 win over Central Espanol, a place in the next round, and the quiet arithmetic every supporter does on the walk home: how many more until a final?

Market

Fenix say no — this time

The offer from ASA Târgu Mureș for Cecilio Waterman was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Player ratings

Both of them Bryan Olivera's — 8.23

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.23, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Squad

A falling-out at Fenix

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

The terraces

The crowd has taken to Nahuel de Armas

At 23 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.

Player ratings

Enzo Suárez was on a different afternoon to everybody else

8.26. There are performances a supporter describes to somebody who was not there and cannot quite convey; this was one, and the number does not help either.

Squad

Gonzalo Andrada 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.

Player ratings

One of those days for Nahuel de Armas

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.04, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Player ratings

Maximiliano Martínez 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.
