The dugout

Angelo Marchese: 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.” Chiapas have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Market

Carlos Higuera 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 The request is on a desk at Chiapas, and it is not being withdrawn.

Transfer targets

Vladimir Loroña due for a Chiapas medical

Everything agreed with Tigres, everything agreed with the player; a doctor is the only person left to persuade. The photograph is a day or two away.

Squad

Luis Alfonso Rodríguez 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 Chiapas this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Boardroom

5 academy players handed senior numbers at Chiapas

The morning the pathway stops being a brochure and becomes a team sheet. Most of them will not be here in three years; all of them have already done the hard part, which was getting to today.

Squad

Jaime Gómez 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.

Transfer targets

Chiapas rebuffed over José Eulogio

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Pachuca have kept their man, and Chiapas go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Hugo Weckmann

“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.

Market

Sebastian Edson steps up from the Chiapas academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Sebastian Edson has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

In brief
