Market

Raul 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 Veracruz can pretend not to have heard.

Market

Veracruz turn down Ipswich Town for Efrain Araujo

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Boardroom

Veracruz close the window on a squad of their own making

11 in and 8 out, and no more changes for months. The manager has what he has, the supporters have their opinion of it, and the table will have the last word.

Squad

Tempers go at Veracruz

Raul Rodriguez 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

3 matches without a goal for Veracruz

The chances are being made and something is happening between the making and the finishing. 3 matches now, and the anxiety in the ground arrives a little earlier every week.

Market

Genoa expected to open talks for Wilmar Uribe

Both sides expect a conversation in the coming days. Veracruz will name a price, and everything after that is arithmetic.

Match

Veracruz come up short against Atlas

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

The dugout

Gerardo Gallardo answers for it

“The supporters are entitled to be angry. So am I. We will put it right.” 0‑1, a manager saying the necessary things, and a dressing room that heard a different version of them.

Squad

A place in the month's best eleven for Efrain Araujo

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

In brief
