Gonzalo Masuero and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Cristian Silva has become a man the manager trusts
Nobody at Parque del Plata will say this on the record and the team sheets have been saying it for weeks. There is a small group in every squad who get picked when the fixture is difficult, and he has joined it.

Nobody sells a season ticket on a signing like this. Every manager who has been through a bad October wants one anyway, and Parque del Plata have gone and got theirs early.
