Supporters organise against the Veracruz board
A bad atmosphere can be waited out. A group of people meeting afterwards to decide what to do about it cannot, and everybody in the building knows which stage this is.

Marcelo Tinari has one foot out of the door
Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Veracruz they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Window shuts: 18 in, 13 out at Veracruz
The deadline has passed and the squad is the squad. 18 arrived, 13 left, and everything else printed about this club last month was a rumour that stayed one.

Diogo Bagüí has his eye on Europe
It is not a grievance and it is not a demand: he wants to play continental football, and he has stopped hiding it. Whether Veracruz can give him that is a question about the club, not about him.

No hiding place for Hirving Salcedo

Atlas take the points off Veracruz
Beaten 0‑1, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Veracruz count the cost of losing Manuel Sanchez
14 days, the scan says, and scans are kinder than reality. The fixtures in that window have just become somebody else’s job.
