Gustavo Canto signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Gustavo Canto and Veracruz agree another 2 years.

Raul Romo has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Veracruz will say this on the record and the team sheets have been saying it for weeks. There is a small group in every squad who get picked when the fixture is difficult, and he has joined it.

Santiago Naveda knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Veracruz, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Marco Alvarez: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Veracruz have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Squad12 Apr 2027

Tempers go at Veracruz

Oribe Lainez 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.

Veracruz lose Victor Ramirez

16 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.

Squad15 Mar 2027

A one-man rearguard from Jorge Herrera

There were 8 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Nobody could get near Diego Perez

Successful dribbles: 29. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Player ratings15 Mar 2027

Ninety minutes of Oribe Reyes at his very best

Marked 8.07. Players have careers without a single afternoon like this in them, and he has just had one in front of everybody at Veracruz.

Match13 Mar 2027

Veracruz share the spoils with Toluca

A 2‑2 draw with Toluca leaves the dressing room somewhere between relief and regret.

Squad15 Mar 2027

When it matters, Oribe Reyes plays

It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.

Marco Alvarez 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.
