Squad

Juan Quintana gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Market

Montevideo City Torque and Emiliano Tejera are talking past each other

“There is a gap, and pretending there is not helps nobody.” Neither side has moved, and the calendar is working for exactly one of them.

Squad

The selectors could not leave Luka Andrade out

6.80 across ninety minutes and a place in the division's team of the week. He was the best player on that pitch and everybody there knew it.

Match

4 matches without a win for Montevideo City Torque

The run now stands at 4, and the questions being asked around Montevideo City Torque are no longer polite ones.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Esteban Obregón

Successful dribbles: 23. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Match

Montevideo City Torque are shipping goals every week

Two or more conceded in each of the last 4 matches. It is not one mistake repeating itself, which would be the easier thing to fix; it is a different one every week.

Match

Nahuel da Silva’s goal not enough for Montevideo City Torque

Nahuel da Silva scored, and precious little else went right: 1‑2 to Nacional, and a quiet walk to the dressing room.

Squad

Adrián Leites pulls a muscle — 14 days out

The injury that keeps coming back, keeps being rushed back from, and quietly costs more careers than the dramatic ones. 14 days is the estimate; the honest figure depends on whether anybody is patient.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Gary Kagelmacher

“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.

Squad

Tempers go at Montevideo City Torque

Ignacio Molina 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.

Squad

Lucas Duré dropped after a run of poor form

The one version of being left out a player cannot argue with, and the one he takes worst. Somebody else has been better and the team sheet says so, in public, every week until it changes.

Player ratings

Off the bench and decisive: Nahuel da Silva

The substitution nobody applauded turned out to be the whole story. Montevideo City Torque were going nowhere until he came on.

Player ratings

Esteban Obregón runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 26. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad

Diogo Guzmán signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Diogo Guzmán and Montevideo City Torque agree another 5 years.

Squad

Tempers go at Montevideo City Torque

Gonzalo Montes 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.

The terraces

Montevideo City Torque supporters have found a favourite in Nicolás Burgio

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 21-year-old it feels ownership of. Nicolás Burgio has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

Match

Montevideo City Torque see off Racing

Three points for Montevideo City Torque, 1‑0 the final word against Racing in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Market

The clock runs on Franco Pizzichillo's contract

36 months left and silence from upstairs — no offer, no talks, nothing for his people to answer. Clubs that let a calendar do their negotiating usually end up negotiating with the calendar.

Player ratings

Salomón Rodríguez was the difference for Montevideo City Torque

Marked 7.71. Ask anyone leaving the ground what settled it and you will get one name, which is the only award that has ever really counted.

Squad

Ramiro Lecchini gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Squad

Salomón Rodríguez finally opens his account

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