Squad

Tempers go at Plaza Colonia

Lucas Carrizo 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

Words at Plaza Colonia training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Valentín Amoroso 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.

Squad

Joaquín Silva 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 Plaza Colonia, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Squad

Plaza Colonia lose Máximo Lorenzi

33 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.

Squad

Segundo Pachamé 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 Santiago Otegui

“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.

Market

Plaza Colonia turn down Sarpsborg 08 for Nicolás González

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

Squad

Lucas Carrizo 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 Plaza Colonia this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

The terraces

Plaza Colonia supporters have found a favourite in Lucas Carrizo

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 23-year-old it feels ownership of. Lucas Carrizo 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.

Player ratings

A masterclass from Lucas Carrizo

Marked 8.10 — 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.

Market

The clock runs on Pablo García's contract

48 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.

Match

Lucas Carrizo rescues a point for Plaza Colonia

It needed Lucas Carrizo to find the net to bring anything home at all: 1‑1 against Boston River, and half the dressing room will call it a point won.

Squad

Facundo Píriz 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.
