I don’t know what to expect from the Mendocino’s. They are striker poor due to injury. The only two times they have played Newell’s were draws. 2-2 in the Apertura 06 in Rosario, with goals from Santiago Salcedo and Oscar Cardozo. They followed that up with a 1 all affair in [...]

Under Fernando Gamboa, the team has a new Friday tradition – a big, fat, red meat feast. Every Friday, the team sits down for a huge barbecue. Gamboa learned a lot about building team chemistry from another Newell’s legend, Marcelo Bielsa, when Gamboa played for him. His stated goal is to replicate [...]
