Una esperanza en marcha
Journalist explains how tradition and modernity can go hand-in-hand: the Argentine player is naturally born into a "school" of soccer born in Argentina, but now employs a modern approach to training based on professionalism, researching opponents and…
El fútbol era un juego
By breaking down the specific aspects of modern soccer, Panzeri comes to the conclusion that the Argentine player should not forget how to play "lo nuestro" but will have to come to grips with the reality of the modern game: no fixed position,…
El asunto podría ser técnico
Do you blame the player who behaves bad? Or do you blame the coaches and soccer directors who keep calling these skilled (but irresonsible) players into the national team?
En Pacaembú, a la búsqueda del milagro o de la hazaña
A more positive commentary from Lucero focused on how Argentina can possibly beat Brazil: developing a better understanding among players. Don’t forget, Brazil is the two-time defending World Cup champions, so discipline is key. This last…
Once figuras que devolvieron al fútbol argentino su antigua gloria
Effusive praise for Argentina after defeating Brazil 3-0, with headlines that read: “Once Figuras Que Devolvieron Al Futbol Argentino Su Antigua Gloria”. Players responded well to the criticisms in the local press and showed good spirit, with a…
Poletti fue expulsado y no podrá jugar nunca más; El largo proceso y la corona de espinas
Lucero makes a case that the behavior of Estudiantes is not isolated, it is a product of years of complacency and complicity by club officials who were more concerned with political and economic matters than the sport. Reacting to the penalties,…
Silencio-fama-silencio; DT: ex-selección, ex-San Lorenzo, ¿víctima?
A more positive look at Lorenzo (could it be because Panzeri and Lazzatti left El Grafico?) The interviewer seeks to understand what happened in Chile and why Lorenzo rose and fell so quickly Lorenzo speaks frankly about players and his approach to…
Respeto al árbitro
Citing their humanity, the magazine pleads with readers to respect referees, who are not perfect and make mistakes.
Estamos encasillados en una sola mentalidad
Interesting because it lists many coaches in Argentina (including the long-running coach of the national team, Stabile) who favored tactical and defense-minded "no gol" approaches rather than a continuation of allowing players to improvise on the…
¡Oh, Mr. Thurman!
In the match between Independiente and River Plate, the expulsion of Nestor Rossi demonstrates that referees often deal with particular players in a severely excessive manner
Argentina: un equipo casi perfecto
Among the many traits exhibited, discipline and individualism-seemingly at odds with each other-worked because coach Stábile provided players to room to improvise and the players demostrated an ability to regulate themselves on and off the field In…
Se vió clarito
In the second exhibition match vs. San Lorenzo, Real Madrid showed how poor Argentine squads are in terms of athleticism, conditioning, and efficiency. River Plate has been champion for several years and San Lorenzo is currently one of the best teams…
Gritos 'santificados'; Libro de Quejas
Using Nestor Rossi's outspoken and loud demeanor on the field, River wonders why his vociferousness is appreciated with the national team as a sign of pride but chastised with River Plate as a sign of disrespect.
Deporte y sociabilidad
Notions of good sportsmanship are outlined in this piece by a member of the club
Como castillo del medievo: conspiración contra el rey; La gloria o devoto…
Players do not respect national team coach Juan Carlos Lorenzo. The press, observing the team at practice, noticed that players responded negatively to the head coach: complaining under their breath, laughing at him behind his back, even other…
Algo de aquel Racing, poco de este Estudiantes
Several players arte expelled as "el senor brusca" rears his head in this match
