Boardroom

Pressure builds in the Dorados boardroom

The directors have stopped offering the manager public warmth. In football that is usually the stage before the short statement.

The dugout

Michael Pérez says Dorados went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Squad

Héctor Moreno signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Héctor Moreno commits to Dorados for another 2 years.

Squad

Words exchanged at Dorados

Alfonso Blanco 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

A place in the month's best eleven for Angel Lainez

Four or five weekends of consistency, judged against everybody in the division doing his job. Angel Lainez has come out of that comparison in the side, and Dorados have had the benefit of every one of those afternoons.

The dugout

No hiding place for Lucas Suárez

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

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.

Boardroom

$5.0M taken back off the Dorados table

What was available in the summer has quietly gone. Upstairs nobody will call it a change of ambition; downstairs nobody will call it anything else.

The dugout

Leonardo Vargas asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

The dugout

Leonardo Vargas keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Dorados may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Squad

Words exchanged at Dorados

Eduardo Armenta 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

Alfonso Blanco 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.

Squad

Jaime Álvarez stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Jaime Álvarez and Dorados agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

The dugout

Ángel Tecpanécatl is still paying for one afternoon at Dorados

Nobody will confirm this and nothing else explains the last month of selections. A costly error buys a player a period of being second choice that is always longer than the error was.

The dugout

Víctor Cantillo asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.
