Marked for Jonathan Sanchez

Squad13 Nov 2028

Oscar García breaks a bone — 26 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 26 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Player ratings13 Nov 2028

Angel Salcedo scores twice — 8.12

Two goals and a mark of 8.12 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Market13 Nov 2028

Jearl Margaritha is on his way

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

Market13 Nov 2028

Christian Lozano 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.

Squad13 Nov 2028

Words exchanged at Veracruz

Angel Salcedo 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.

Squad13 Nov 2028

The step up is real for Jonathan Sanchez

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.

Squad13 Nov 2028

Words at Veracruz training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Jonathan Araujo is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Match11 Nov 2028

Whatever happens, Veracruz do not lose

6 games unbeaten now. Some were earned and some were survived, but a habit is forming — and habits are the hardest thing in football to play against.

Match11 Nov 2028

Angel Salcedo the difference as Veracruz beat Morelia

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Angel Salcedo. 2‑0 against Morelia, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

Squad31 Jan 2028

Sergio Ceballos damages knee ligaments — 56 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 56 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.

Fernando González says Veracruz 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.

Market31 Jan 2028

Only the photograph left for Uriel Alvarez

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Uriel Alvarez will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Veracruz the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Squad31 Jan 2028

Angel Salcedo 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 Veracruz this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match29 Jan 2028

The run is over for Veracruz

8 matches without defeat, and then Tigres. Nobody at the ground pretended it would go on forever; nobody expected it to stop here either.

Player ratings31 Jan 2028

Bryan Castrillón beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 20. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Match29 Jan 2028

Tigres take the points off Veracruz

Beaten 0‑1, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Squad31 Jan 2028

Jonathan Sanchez pulls a muscle — 15 days out

The injury that keeps coming back, keeps being rushed back from, and quietly costs more careers than the dramatic ones. 15 days is the estimate; the honest figure depends on whether anybody is patient.

The dugout31 Jan 2028

No hiding place for Manuel Sanchez

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

In brief
