Squad

Real improvement from Jhon Acurio at Dorados

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Jhon Acurio is 19, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Squad

Oswaldo Alanís 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.

Squad

A row about effort at Dorados

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

Squad

The decline has begun for Mario de Luna

Everybody saw it before anybody said it. At 38 the numbers say 3 points down on what he was, and the question for Dorados is how to handle a man they owe a great deal.

Loan watch

Martín Sol wants to come home

“I did not go to Morelia to sit and watch. I want to come back to Dorados and fight for my place.” 2 appearances in 6 matches say the rest.

The dugout

Dorados keep their word to Manuel Montes

Clubs make promises constantly and the page usually only hears about them when they are broken. This one was honoured, and the dressing room noticed that faster than any supporter did.

The dugout

David Osuna 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

Hiram Mier brings the grey hairs Dorados lacked

At 37, he has seen every situation this season can produce, twice. The legs will be managed; the head is the purchase.

The dugout

Luis Ernesto Ruiz is still being punished for one mistake

Nobody will confirm it and the team sheets confirm it every week. One error has bought him a spell as second choice that is already longer than the error deserved.

In brief
