Squad

The knee: Joaquín Rabaglio out for 145 days

145 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. Quilmes lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

Market

Quilmes turn down Alashkert for Gabriel Vázquez

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

Market

Santiago Adrover asks to leave Quilmes

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Squad

Esteban Glellel 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 Quilmes this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

A row about effort at Quilmes

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Raúl Lozano was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Match

Quilmes find a way past Tristán Suárez

Tristán Suárez made Quilmes work for it, but the scoreboard read 2‑1 at the end and the table does not ask how.

The terraces

Quilmes supporters have found a favourite in Ulises Vera

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 22-year-old it feels ownership of. Ulises Vera 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

Axel Batista runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 18. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Market

48 months and counting on Esteban Glellel

Still no offer on the table, and Esteban Glellel’s deal keeps shrinking. In boardroom language, silence this long stops being an oversight and starts being an answer.

Squad

Joaquín Rabaglio damages knee ligaments — 152 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 152 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Market

Quilmes turn down Alavés for Agustín Lavezzi

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

Market

Thiago Santi asks to leave Quilmes

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Squad

Nicolás Colazo stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Nicolás Colazo and Quilmes agree another 2 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad

Tempers go at Quilmes

Esteban Glellel 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

Nobody could get near Axel Batista

Successful dribbles: 21. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad

A row about effort at Quilmes

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Nicolás Colazo was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Match

Ulises Vera’s goal not enough for Quilmes

Ulises Vera scored, and precious little else went right: 1‑3 to Alvarado, and a quiet walk to the dressing room.

The dugout

No hiding place for Esteban Glellel

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