Gabriel Salguero 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 The request is on a desk at Fenix, and it is not being withdrawn.
Match11 Jun 2033
Still nobody has beaten Fenix
The unbeaten run reaches 12. Some of them were wins and some were escapes, but a side that refuses to lose is a side other dressing rooms talk about.
Match11 Jun 2033
5 matches without a win for Fenix
The run now stands at 5, and the questions being asked around Fenix are no longer polite ones.

Santiago Ramírez 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 Fenix this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Fernando Miranda falls out with a teammate over standards
The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Albion watching Juan Manuel Nieto
The interest is real enough to have reached print. Fenix have said nothing, which in a transfer window is its own kind of answer.

Manuel Cabrera out for 24 days
The medical room confirms 24 days on the sidelines for Manuel Cabrera, and a plan built around him now has to be rebuilt.

Nobody could get near Santiago Ramírez
Successful dribbles: 15. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.
Squad13 Jun 2033
Fernando Miranda has become a man the manager trusts
Nobody at Fenix 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.
