The Tijuana Post

2 Dec 2030
From our football correspondent Uneasy

Market2 Dec 2030

Emi Rodriguez 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 Tijuana can pretend not to have heard.

Squad2 Dec 2030

A falling-out at Tijuana

Diego Abreu and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Player ratings2 Dec 2030

Nobody could get near Jonathan Jiménez

Successful dribbles: 22. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad2 Dec 2030

Unai Bilbao 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.

Match30 Nov 2030

Tijuana end the wait against Puebla

It had gone 6 games. The players did not celebrate like men who had won a match; they celebrated like men who had been let out of something.

Match30 Nov 2030

Tijuana find a way past Puebla

Puebla made Tijuana work for it, but the scoreboard read 1‑0 at the end and the table does not ask how.

Player ratings2 Dec 2030

A masterclass from Vitinho

Marked 8.17 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.

The dugout2 Dec 2030

Paul Garnier has his say

“We earned that. I asked them for a reaction and I got one, and now I want the same again on Saturday.” Paul Garnier on a 1‑0 afternoon that pleased him more than he was prepared to show.

The dugout2 Dec 2030

Emi Rodriguez 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 Tijuana, and both men came out saying it was fine.

The Tijuana Post

23 Jul 2029
From our football correspondent Steady

Boardroom23 Jul 2029

Uriel Gutierrez is out at Tijuana

Four paragraphs on the club website, none of them about football. The board thanked him, wished him well, and had the search under way before the page went up.

Squad23 Jul 2029

Ángel Romero stands alone

10 saves, and a scoreline the ten men in front of him had no right to. Goalkeepers only get noticed on the bad days; this was one of the other ones.

Market23 Jul 2029

Cristián Borja 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 Tijuana, and it is not being withdrawn.

Boardroom23 Jul 2029

Andres Sanchez takes charge at Tijuana

“Somebody has to pick the team on Saturday, and this week that is me.” An interim appointment with no promises attached, which is how most of them start.

Player ratings23 Jul 2029

César Castillo pops up at the right end — 7.33

7.33, 1 on the scoresheet, and the specific comedy of a back-four player celebrating like somebody who does this every week. He does not, and that is exactly why the ground reacted the way it did.

Squad23 Jul 2029

A muscle injury sidelines Alejandro Gómez for 15 days

Nobody makes a documentary about a hamstring and everybody in the game fears one. Tijuana will be careful with the return date, because the second one is always worse than the first.

Transfer targets23 Jul 2029

Pablo Sisniega due for a Tijuana medical

Everything agreed with Guadalajara, everything agreed with the player; a doctor is the only person left to persuade. The photograph is a day or two away.

Transfer targets23 Jul 2029

No thanks: Viktor Bjarki Daðason rejects the move

Tijuana had done everything except persuade the man himself. He stays at FC Copenhagen, and the manager goes back to the drawing board with the money still in the bank.

Squad23 Jul 2029

Diego Abreu 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 Tijuana this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

In brief
