Player ratings

Federico Martínez runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 27. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

The terraces

Liverpool Montevideo supporters have found a favourite in Ramiro Degregorio

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

Squad

No hiding place for Rubén Bentancourt

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

Squad

Words at Liverpool Montevideo training over how hard people work

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

Ramiro Degregorio was on a different afternoon to everybody else

8.14. 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

Tempers go at Liverpool Montevideo

Vicenzo Macchia 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

8 seasons of Facundo Barceló

322 appearances across 8 seasons in these colours. Careers like that are not built any more, and Liverpool Montevideo know what they have.

Market

Liverpool Montevideo may not be able to give Nicolás Garayalde what he wants

It is the most legitimate ambition in the sport and the hardest for most clubs to satisfy. Nicolás Garayalde wants continental football; whether Liverpool Montevideo can provide it is a question about the next two seasons, not about him.

Squad

Diego Zabala stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Diego Zabala and Liverpool Montevideo agree another 2 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad

Tempers go at Liverpool Montevideo

Kevin Amaro 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 Liverpool Montevideo training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Rubén Bentancourt 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

Nobody could get near Ramiro Degregorio

Successful dribbles: 20. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Match

A bad afternoon for Liverpool Montevideo against Juventud

0‑2 to Juventud, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Market

The clock runs on Federico Martínez'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.

Market

Still no ink between Liverpool Montevideo and Mathías Bernatene

“We keep meeting, and we keep leaving the room with the same numbers we walked in with.” Another round of talks at Liverpool Montevideo, another week without a signature from Mathías Bernatene.
