From our football correspondent Steady

Market

Héctor Ramírez puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Pumas UNAM, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad

Robert Morales 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 Pumas UNAM this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Nathan Silva falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Market

Veracruz join the queue for Ángel Azuaje

Add another name to the list: Veracruz have asked the question everybody in the game has been asking about Ángel Azuaje. The answer from Pumas UNAM has not changed — yet.

Player ratings

Juninho was the difference for Pumas UNAM

Marked 7.13. Ask anyone leaving the ground what settled it and you will get one name, which is the only award that has ever really counted.

Squad

Guillermo Martínez dropped after a run of poor form

The one version of being left out a player cannot argue with, and the one he takes worst. Somebody else has been better and the team sheet says so, in public, every week until it changes.

Match

No goals between Pumas UNAM and Leon

Ninety minutes, two goalkeepers with clean gloves, and not one finish worth keeping. Leon will be the happier side with the point.

Squad

Hugo Rodríguez knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Pumas UNAM, and both men came out saying it was fine.

The terraces

The stands have heard the Álvaro Angulo talk too

What was a back-page story is now a matter for the terraces, and the terraces do not do nuance. Pumas UNAM would like it dealt with before it becomes the only question anybody asks.

In brief
