Player ratings

Alexei Dominguez runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 36. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Match

The cup run ends for Dorados

1‑2 against Morelia, and the road stops here. Cup exits are quick deaths — no second leg, no next week, just the league from now until May.

Market

Dorados say no — this time

The offer from Pachuca for Salvador Manríquez was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Market

Diego Martínez hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Dorados can pretend not to have heard.

Match

No end in sight to Dorados's wait for a win

5 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Dorados has to find a result from somewhere.

Squad

Luis Arcadio García 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 Dorados this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Edson Gutiérrez

“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

A bad afternoon for Dorados against Atlas

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

Squad

David Osuna 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

Dorados say no — this time

The offer from Pachuca for Luis Arcadio García was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Match

Dorados cannot find the net

3 games without scoring. Strikers stop looking up, midfielders take the extra touch, and every shot that clears the bar is followed by a groan that has been building since the last goal.

Squad

Tempers go at Dorados

Miguel Ángel Herrera 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

The manager makes an example of Leonardo Vargas

“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

Dorados come up short against Santos Laguna

Santos Laguna left with the points after a 0‑1 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Player ratings

Both jobs done by Leonardo Vargas — 6.28

A midfielder is measured on whether the team functions when he is on the pitch, which is nearly impossible to see and completely obvious in retrospect. 9 actions, 6.28, and a manager who will not be substituting him again in a hurry.

Squad

Words at Dorados training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. David Osuna is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Squad

Jonathan Vaal knocks on the manager’s door

“Thirty minutes, door closed, everything said. We shook hands after.” Whatever was in the room stayed in the room, and Jonathan Vaal trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.

Market

Dorados bring in an old head

Manuel Madrid is 33 and has run out of things to prove. What he has left is where to stand, when to slow it down and what to say at half-time, and none of that is on a fitness chart.

Squad

Edson Gutiérrez signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Edson Gutiérrez commits to Dorados for another 3 years.

Squad

Luis Arcadio García 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 Dorados this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match

Dorados come up short against Queretaro

Queretaro left with the points after a 0‑2 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Market

Jhan Rengifo attracts admirers

The name of Jhan Rengifo has come up in conversations Dorados were not part of. Nothing formal, nothing signed — but nothing about it accidental either.

Squad

No hiding place for Josué Reyes

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

Market

Alan Ramos told to find a new club

“They were honest with me, and I would rather know.” Alan Ramos has been informed he is not in the manager's thinking at Dorados.

Market

Talks stall between Dorados and Luis Arcadio García

“We are a long way apart, and pretending otherwise helps nobody.” Neither side is close, and the calendar is not on the club's side.

Market

49 months and counting on Leonardo Vargas

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

Squad

David Osuna 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.
