Luis Donaldo Hernández 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 The request is on a desk at Morelia, and it is not being withdrawn.

Words exchanged at Morelia
Carlos Harvey 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.

A row about effort at Morelia
Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Richie Laryea was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Daniel Guardado out for 25 days

Two sides from the bottom of the table, three points, and an afternoon that will be described afterwards as a relegation decider by whoever loses it.

Alexei Dominguez is still paying for one afternoon at Morelia
Nobody will confirm this and nothing else explains the last month of selections. A costly error buys a player a period of being second choice that is always longer than the error was.

Iván Tona knocks on the manager’s door
“Thirty minutes, door closed, everything said. We shook hands after.” Whatever was in the room stayed in the room, and Iván Tona trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.
