Leandro Suhr 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.

141% of the income goes out in wages at Boston River
Every club in football pays most of what it earns to its players. Paying nearly all of it is a different arrangement, and it has ended the same way every time somebody has tried it.

Words at Boston River training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Federico Dafonte 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.
5 goals in 13 games at Puebla — numbers that travel home faster than he does. Somebody at Boston River updates a spreadsheet every Monday, and it makes better reading each week.
Agustín Granja 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.

Francisco Bonfiglio has done the arithmetic and does not like the answer. Nothing corrodes a squad faster, and no club has ever solved it by explaining the wage structure to a footballer.

Loan watchThe goals keep arriving from Emiliano Gómez’s exile
Headers, blocks, tackles, interceptions — 21 of them, and not one goal behind him. The sort of performance that never makes a highlight reel and wins football matches.

Four or five weekends of consistency, judged against everybody in the division doing his job. Agustín Aguirre has come out of that comparison in the side, and Boston River have had the benefit of every one of those afternoons.

Agustín Amado was on a different afternoon to everybody else
8.50. 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.

In brief
The terracesThe press cannot get enough of Agustín Amado
23 defensive actions and a clean sheet at the end of them. A defender's afternoon can only be told by what did not happen, which is why nobody makes a highlights package out of one and every manager in the division would take it.
