Match

4 matches without a win for Queretaro

The run now stands at 4, and the questions being asked around Queretaro are no longer polite ones.

Market

Eduardo Pérez’s move to Morelia falls through

The deal that would have taken Eduardo Pérez to Morelia has collapsed at the last stage, and he reports back to Queretaro with a summer to forget and a season still to play. Nobody is saying which side walked away.

Squad

Tempers go at Queretaro

Diego Reyes 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

Michael Carcelén 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.

Match

Enzo Giménez’s goal not enough for Queretaro

Enzo Giménez scored, and precious little else went right: 1‑2 to Puebla, and a quiet walk to the dressing room.

Player ratings

Ninety minutes of Enzo Giménez at his very best

Marked 8.33. Players have careers without a single afternoon like this in them, and he has just had one in front of everybody at Queretaro.

The dugout

The manager’s verdict

“That is on me. I pick the team and I picked wrong.” Managers say that when they mean it and when they need to be seen to, and after 1‑2 Gerardo Alvarez left the room before anybody could ask which.

The dugout

Carlos Villanueva 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 Rodríguez 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 The request is on a desk at Queretaro, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad

The step up is real for Alejandro Rodríguez

At 19 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.

Market

Enzo Giménez wants European nights

The general version of this complaint is that a player wants more. The specific version names the thing: he wants to walk out under floodlights against clubs from other countries, and he has stopped pretending otherwise.

Squad

Tempers go at Queretaro

Diego Reyes 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.

Match

Queretaro come up short against Pachuca

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

Squad

Santiago Homenchenko 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

Too much change too quickly at Queretaro

10 signings in three months. Every one of them may be an upgrade and the team can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild that never appears in the transfer-window verdicts.

The dugout

The view from the dugout

“We will look at it, we will learn from it, and we go again.” The three sentences every manager keeps for a 0‑1 defeat, delivered by Gerardo Alvarez to a room that had heard them before.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Carlos Villanueva

“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.
