Match

No end in sight to Aldosivi's wait for a win

9 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Aldosivi has to find a result from somewhere.

Market

Rodrigo González 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 The request is on a desk at Aldosivi, and it is not being withdrawn.

Player ratings

Rodrigo Márquez runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 23. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad

Esteban Rolón in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Aldosivi this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Emanuel Iñíguez out for 59 days

The medical room confirms 59 days on the sidelines for Emanuel Iñíguez, and a plan built around him now has to be rebuilt.

Squad

Matías Morello 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.

Match

6 matches without a win for Aldosivi

The run now stands at 6, and the questions being asked around Aldosivi are no longer polite ones.

Squad

Tempers go at Aldosivi

Esteban Rolón 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.

Player ratings

Agustín Palavecino runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 20. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Match

Gimnasia La Plata take the points off Aldosivi

Beaten 1‑2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Squad

Lucas Rodríguez 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

The manager makes an example of Rodrigo González

“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.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Market

Toulouse FC come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Aldosivi did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Squad

Esteban Rolón in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Aldosivi this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Words at Aldosivi training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Lucas Rodríguez 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.

Player ratings

Néstor Breitenbruch shuts the door

Defensive actions: 21, and a clean sheet at the end of it. A centre-half's best afternoons look like nothing happening, which is precisely the point.

Player ratings

Nicolás Zalazar was immovable

15 times he got in the way of something. Centre-halves get written about when they make mistakes and ignored when they do not, so an afternoon like this needs saying out loud: he is the reason the scoreline reads as it does.

Squad

Junior Arias 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.

Match

Aldosivi and Independiente Rivadavia cancel each other out

Nil-nil, and few chances worth the name. Independiente Rivadavia came to defend and left with exactly what they came for.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Rodrigo Márquez

Successful dribbles: 10. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad

The plan did not have a place for Joaquín Novillo

Nobody at Aldosivi is suggesting he is out of form. The manager simply wanted somebody with a different set of qualities for ninety specific minutes, and there is nothing a player can train to fix that.
