No sign of nerves from Alejandro Severo at 21 — 8.14

The hardest thing about being 21 in a senior side is that nobody makes allowances. Alejandro Severo did not need any: 8.14, and he looked the most comfortable man on the pitch.

Market

Yonatan Irrazábal puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Cerro, and it is not being withdrawn.

Market

Nahuel Soria attracts admirers

The name of Nahuel Soria has come up in conversations Cerro were not part of. Nothing formal, nothing signed — but nothing about it accidental either.

Squad

Tempers go at Cerro

Juan Cruz Guasone 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.

Match

Whatever happens, Cerro do not lose

6 games unbeaten now. Some were earned and some were survived, but a habit is forming — and habits are the hardest thing in football to play against.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Alejo Macelli

“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.

Player ratings

One of those days for Cristian Barros

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.24, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Match

Cerro share the spoils with Defensor Sporting

A 2‑2 draw with Defensor Sporting leaves the dressing room somewhere between relief and regret.

Squad

Alejandro Severo finally opens his account

He wheeled away like a man who had been carrying it for months, because he had. Cerro have their signing off the mark and one press-conference question retired.

Market

Yonatan Irrazábal asks to leave Cerro

“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.

Market

Cerro turn down Alverca for Bruno Morales

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Squad

Fabrizio Correa signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Fabrizio Correa commits to Cerro for another 4 years.

Squad

Tempers go at Cerro

Santiago Paiva 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.

Match

Brahian Alemán’s goal not enough for Cerro

Brahian Alemán scored, and precious little else went right: 2‑3 to Progreso, and a quiet walk to the dressing room.

Squad

Alejo Macelli 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

No hiding place for Alejo Macelli

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

Player ratings

Alejandro Severo runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 19. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Market

Facundo Butti told to find a new club

“They were honest with me, and I would rather know.” Facundo Butti has been informed he is not in the manager's thinking at Cerro.
