Market

Juan Miguel hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Pumas UNAM can pretend not to have heard.

Market

Cesar Herrera is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Pumas UNAM is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Squad

Jordy Caicedo 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 Pumas UNAM this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

A row about effort at Pumas UNAM

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Rubén Duarte was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Match

A bad afternoon for Pumas UNAM against Monterrey

0‑1 to Monterrey, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

The dugout

No hiding place for Javier Arteaga

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

The dugout

A promise honoured for Alejandro Andrade

It is not much of a headline and it is the reason players believe the next promise. Pumas UNAM told Alejandro Andrade something would happen and then it happened, which in this industry passes for remarkable.

Loan watch

Ivan Arteaga has seen enough of Dorados

“I am grateful for the games, but I did not become a footballer to be somebody else's spare part.” He wants to be at Pumas UNAM, and 0 appearances in 5 say he has earned the hearing.

The dugout

Leonardo Cabrera faces the questions

“We were not good enough today and I am not going to dress it up.” Leonardo Cabrera after 0‑1, in the tone of a man who knows the next question and does not intend to answer it.

Match

Pumas UNAM bow out of the cup

Santos Laguna go through and Pumas UNAM go home, 0‑1 the scoreline that did it. The dressing room will call the league the priority now, because that is what dressing rooms say.

Match

Nowhere to hide for Pumas UNAM

0‑3 against Cruz Azul, and no complaints that would survive the replay. The manager spoke about character afterwards; the terraces used shorter words.

The dugout

Cesar Herrera keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Pumas UNAM may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Match

The wait goes on for Pumas UNAM

5 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

Market

José Gallegos asks to leave Pumas UNAM

“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.

Match

The goals have deserted Pumas UNAM

5 matches, no goals, and a training ground that has tried everything. It will end — droughts always do — but nobody at Pumas UNAM can tell you which week it ends in.

Market

Antonio De María y Campos has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Pumas UNAM they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Squad

Rubén Duarte signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Rubén Duarte commits to Pumas UNAM for another 3 years.

Market

Alexei Dominguez raises the bar for Pumas UNAM

“I want to be playing for trophies while my legs still let me.” Nothing in that sentence is a transfer request, and nobody at Pumas UNAM heard it as anything else.
