Market6 Aug 2029

Omar Mireles has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Dorados they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Transfer targets6 Aug 2029

Aaron Herrera is a medical away from Dorados

The deal with Tigres is done in every sense but the one that puts him on the pitch. Nothing goes wrong at this stage, except on the occasions when it does.

The dugout6 Aug 2029

Luis Ortiz 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.

Squad6 Aug 2029

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 2 years.

Squad6 Aug 2029

Alex Castro 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.

Transfer targets6 Aug 2029

Dorados rebuffed over Gonçalo Sousa

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Porto have kept their man, and Dorados go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

The terraces6 Aug 2029

One of their own: Jhon Acurio

He is 22 and the ground already sings his name, which is a thing that happens to local boys and almost never to signings. Everything from here is measured against an affection he did nothing to earn except be from here.

The dugout6 Aug 2029

No hiding place for Mauro Nambo

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

Match4 Aug 2029

Dorados see off Veracruz

Three points for Dorados, 1‑0 the final word against Veracruz in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Squad21 May 2029

Luis Arcadio García damages knee ligaments — 92 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 92 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

The terraces21 May 2029

The mood at Dorados has turned into something else

Supporters who sing when it goes badly are supporters. Supporters who gather afterwards are a problem, and everybody inside the building knows which of the two this now is.

Market21 May 2029

Only the photograph left for Luis Félix

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Luis Félix will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Dorados the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Squad21 May 2029

Words exchanged at Dorados

Alex Castro 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.

Squad21 May 2029

A row about effort at Dorados

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and César Bernal was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

The dugout21 May 2029

No hiding place for Luis Félix

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

From our football correspondent Uneasy

The terraces26 Mar 2029

Anger at Dorados spills outside the ground

It has stopped being a mood in the stands and started being something organised. Boards can ignore a bad atmosphere for a long time; they cannot ignore this stage of it for very long at all.

Squad26 Mar 2029

Efrain Rodriguez damages knee ligaments — 52 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 52 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Market26 Mar 2029

Luis Félix is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Dorados is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Squad26 Mar 2029

A falling-out at Dorados

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

Squad26 Mar 2029

A row about effort at Dorados

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Mauro Nambo was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

The dugout26 Mar 2029

Luis Félix 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.

From our football correspondent Crisis

Match10 Jul 2028

Dorados are in real trouble now

Position 18, 11 points, and a fixture list with fewer games left in it than excuses. The arithmetic is not cruel yet, but it has stopped being kind.

Market10 Jul 2028

Caio Pereira 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.

The dugout10 Jul 2028

Caio Pereira: 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.” Dorados have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Market10 Jul 2028

Luis Alberto López is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Dorados is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Squad10 Jul 2028

Luis Reyes signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Luis Reyes commits to Dorados for another 1 years.

Squad10 Jul 2028

The step up is real for Juan Usma

At 22 he is doing things this season that he could not do last season, and doing them every week. Form comes and goes; this has stayed long enough to be called something else.

Squad10 Jul 2028

Words exchanged at Dorados

Alex Castro 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.

Squad10 Jul 2028

A row about effort at Dorados

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Alfonso Sánchez was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

The dugout10 Jul 2028

No hiding place for Juan Manuel Iurino

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