The silence upstairs is getting loud at Chiapas
Nobody on the board has said anything against the manager, which is the point — they have stopped saying anything for him either.

Chiapas put Hector Reyes on notice
The board have said in public what they had been saying in private. Results between now and the next meeting decide it, and everybody in the building knows the arithmetic.
Match2 Feb 2030
Chiapas win it in stoppage time
The board had gone up, the arguing had started, and then the ball was in the net in the 94th minute. Leon will replay every second of the added time for a week.

Tempers go at Chiapas
Alan Ramos 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.

Words at Chiapas training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Karol Velázquez 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.
Match2 Feb 2030
Chiapas get the job done against Leon
A 2‑1 win over Leon, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

The crowd has taken to Alessandro Méndez
At 23 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.

A masterclass from Jeremías Rodríguez Puch
Marked 8.63 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.
Squad4 Feb 2030
No hiding place for Alan Ramos
“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Alan Ramos, and the manager let it.
In brief
- Squad Diego Trejo stays put
- Market A long bet from Chiapas on DeAndre Wright
