Player ratings

Iker Benito beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 37. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Market

Queretaro may not be able to give Enzo Giménez what he wants

It is the most legitimate ambition in the sport and the hardest for most clubs to satisfy. Enzo Giménez wants continental football; whether Queretaro can provide it is a question about the next two seasons, not about him.

Squad

Tempers go at Queretaro

Diego Reyes 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.

Squad

A row about effort at Queretaro

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

Squad

Guillermo Allison reaches 200 appearances

200 games in the shirt. Nobody sets out to build a record like that; it happens to a certain kind of player at a certain kind of club, and this town knows what it has.

Player ratings

Jhojan Julio stands above it all

Some games turn on a moment; this one turned on a man. 7.84 on the card, and the Queretaro support went home talking about one name.

Squad

Juan Araujo signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Juan Araujo commits to Queretaro for another 3 years.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Bernardo Parra

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Match

Jhojan Julio rescues a point for Queretaro

It needed Jhojan Julio to find the net to bring anything home at all: 1‑1 against Santos Laguna, and half the dressing room will call it a point won.

Player ratings

Iker Benito beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 28. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Squad

Diego Reyes 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 Queretaro this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

A row about effort at Queretaro

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

The dugout

Half-satisfied: Kevin Romo on the draw

“There are things I liked and things we will be doing on Tuesday until they are right.” 0‑0, and a manager who had already decided what Tuesday looked like.

The dugout

Somebody else is better right now than Daniel Parra

The team sheet says it in public every week until it changes. The only version of being dropped a footballer cannot argue with, and the one he takes hardest.

Match

Point won or two lost for Queretaro?

Ninety minutes, no goals, and the argument started before the car park emptied: a point gained, or two thrown away against Veracruz? Both sides of it will still be going on Thursday.

Looking ahead

Eduardo Pérez faces his old club

Santos Laguna next, and one man in the Queretaro dressing room knows their training ground better than his own. The reception will tell him what they thought of him.

The dugout

Carlo Adriano left out for tactical reasons at Queretaro

The shape wanted a different profile against this opponent, which is a real football answer and no comfort at all to the man it is about. He did nothing wrong and he did not play.

Squad

Mateo Coronel says his piece

“If we are going to be beaten, let it not be because somebody in here could not be bothered.” He stood up and said it in front of everybody, which is a thing a squad remembers about a man for years.

In brief

From our football correspondent Steady

Squad

Words exchanged at Queretaro

Diego Reyes 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.

Squad

Lucas Abascia stays put

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

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Mateo Coronel

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Market

One of our own: Uriel Alvarez joins the Queretaro first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Uriel Alvarez is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Market

Guillermo Edson steps up from the Queretaro academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Guillermo Edson has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

Market

Queretaro promote Erick Herrera from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Erick Herrera has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Market

Queretaro promote Eduardo Lozano from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Eduardo Lozano has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Match

A bad afternoon for Queretaro against Club America

0‑1 to Club America, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Player ratings

Iker Benito was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 16. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

In brief

  • Squad A row about effort at Queretaro
  • The dugout Kevin Romo faces the questions
  • Looking ahead Queretaro take on the side everybody is chasing
