Match

14 matches without a win for Morelia

The run now stands at 14, and the questions being asked around Morelia are no longer polite ones.

Squad

A one-man rearguard from Antonio Torres

There were 9 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Squad

Brandon Ochoa: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Morelia have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Match

10 matches without a win for Morelia

The run now stands at 10, and the questions being asked around Morelia are no longer polite ones.

Squad

Manuel Madrid stays put

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

Squad

Daniel Arcila gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Market

Alejandro Andrade 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 Morelia can pretend not to have heard.

Squad

Orlando Botello: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Morelia have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Squad

Miguel Sansores 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 Morelia, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Match

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

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

Match

Morelia sink to position 16

11 points, and a fixture list that is running out. The mathematics are not yet cruel, but they are no longer kind.

Market

Zahid Muñoz asks to leave Morelia

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Squad

Brandon Ochoa says Morelia 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.

Match

A bad afternoon for Morelia against Monterrey

1-2 to Monterrey, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Squad

Jaziel Martínez stays put

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

Squad

The manager makes an example of Rubén Del Campo

“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.

Squad

Antonio Torres 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.

Market

Morelia and Santiago Palacios are talking past each other

“There is a gap, and pretending there is not helps nobody.” Neither side has moved, and the calendar is working for exactly one of them.
