Squad

José Hernández keeps Queretaro in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 6 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Squad

Real improvement from Bernardo Parra at Queretaro

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Bernardo Parra is 22, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Squad

José Hernández stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” José Hernández and Queretaro agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad

Tempers go at Queretaro

Michael Carcelén 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.

Match

The goals have deserted Queretaro

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

Match

A bad afternoon for Queretaro against Pumas UNAM

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

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Carlo Adriano

Successful dribbles: 13. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Market

No place for César González in the plan

“The manager did not use many words, and he did not need to.” César González has his answer from Queretaro; what he does with it is the next window’s story.

Market

Queretaro and Carlos Villanueva are talking past each other

“There is a gap, and pretending there is not helps nobody.” Neither side has moved, and the calendar is working for exactly one of them.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Match

8 matches without a win for Queretaro

The run now stands at 8, and the questions being asked around Queretaro are no longer polite ones.

Squad

Queretaro count the cost of losing Jhojan Julio

39 days, the scan says, and scans are kinder than reality. The fixtures in that window have just become somebody else’s job.

Market

Fernando Valenzuela wants European nights

The general version of this complaint is that a player wants more. The specific version names the thing: he wants to walk out under floodlights against clubs from other countries, and he has stopped pretending otherwise.

Squad

Diego Reyes 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 Queretaro this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

A move Miguel Paul would have made for nothing

There is a version of every career where the player ends up somewhere he chose rather than somewhere that chose him. Miguel Paul is living that version at Queretaro, and it tends to show in the first month.

Squad

Guillermo Allison gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Player ratings

Ninety minutes of Mateo Coronel at his very best

Marked 8.26. Players have careers without a single afternoon like this in them, and he has just had one in front of everybody at Queretaro.

Player ratings

Ninety minutes of Fernando Valenzuela at his very best

Marked 8.13. Players have careers without a single afternoon like this in them, and he has just had one in front of everybody at Queretaro.

Match

Queretaro and Cruz Azul take a point apiece

It finished 2‑2, and it somehow always looked like it would. One of those afternoons where the table moves less than the tempers.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Market

Rolando Flores 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 Queretaro, and it is not being withdrawn.

Match

4 matches without a win for Queretaro

The run now stands at 4, and the questions being asked around Queretaro are no longer polite ones.

Squad

Diego Reyes 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 Queretaro this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Player ratings

Edison Gruezo runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 22. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad

No hiding place for Jhojan Julio

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

Squad

Words at Queretaro training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Jero 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.

Player ratings

A masterclass from Mateo Coronel

Marked 8.14 — 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.

Match

Mateo Coronel rescues a point for Queretaro

It needed Mateo Coronel to find the net to bring anything home at all: 1‑1 against Atlas, and half the dressing room will call it a point won.

Squad

Queretaro pick somebody else ahead of Lucas Abascia

There is no complaint available here and everybody involved knows it, which does not make the walk to the bench any shorter. Form is the only currency in football that cannot be borrowed against.
