Match

No end in sight to Veracruz's wait for a win

5 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Veracruz has to find a result from somewhere.

Market

Efrain Arteaga asks to leave Veracruz

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Squad

Tempers go at Veracruz

Gerardo Ochoa 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

Ivan Alvarez’s goal not enough for Veracruz

Ivan Alvarez scored, and precious little else went right: 1‑2 to Tigres, and a quiet walk to the dressing room.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Efrain Vazquez

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Squad

Words at Veracruz training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Ivan Reyes 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.

Loan watch

Erick Edson wants to come home

“I did not go to Livorno to sit and watch. I want to come back to Veracruz and fight for my place.” 1 appearances in 5 matches say the rest.

Squad

When it matters, Gerardo Ochoa 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.

Market

Uriel Dos Santos linked with a move away

The name of Uriel Dos Santos keeps appearing in other people's back pages. Veracruz say nothing, which says plenty.

Match

Chastening afternoon for Veracruz

A 0‑3 beating by Santos Laguna was the sort of result that empties a stadium long before the final whistle.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Alexis Moreno

Successful dribbles: 27. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Market

Efrain Gutierrez puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Veracruz, and it is not being withdrawn.

Market

Veracruz get their man

The chase for Eros García ended with $160.0K changing hands and Toluca out of reasons to say no. The supporters will judge the fee the only way that matters: on Saturdays.

The terraces

Veracruz spend $160.0K on the signing the town wanted

It is the rarest sequence in football: supporters ask for something, and the club goes and does it. $160.0K for Eros García, and for one week nobody is complaining about anything.

Squad

Tempers go at Veracruz

Jorge Torres Nilo 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.

Squad

No hiding place for Ivan Reyes

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

Boardroom

Inquest at Veracruz

The manager kept them in and said what needed saying. A response is expected on Saturday, and if it does not come the questions move upstairs.

Squad

5 new faces, and Veracruz are still learning each other

A squad rebuilt inside one window pays for it in a currency nobody budgets for. The football is not worse than the sum of the players; it is worse than the sum of the players who have played together before.
