Player ratings28 Dec 2026

Yeremay was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 51. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

Match26 Dec 2026

Deportivo La Coruña make home a hard place to visit

12 without defeat on their own grass. The pitch has not changed; the crowd has — louder earlier, and quicker to sense when the opposition would rather be somewhere else.

Squad28 Dec 2026

José Giménez 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.

Squad28 Dec 2026

Words exchanged at Deportivo La Coruña

Marc Casadó and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

The dugout28 Dec 2026

Ignacio Cellerino 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.

The dugout28 Dec 2026

Raúl Vidal on the point

“A point is a point and I will take it, but we should have had all three.” Raúl Vidal after the 0‑0 draw, and the sentence every manager in the country said at some stage this weekend.

The dugout28 Dec 2026

Angeliño gets picked when it counts

Every manager keeps a short list in his head of the men he wants on the pitch when the stakes rise, and it is never published. The team sheets for the big afternoons say Angeliño is on it.

The dugout28 Dec 2026

Somebody else is better right now than Iván Bella

The team sheet says it in public every week until it changes. The only version of being dropped a footballer cannot argue with, and the one he takes hardest.

Market28 Dec 2026

Leo Román linked with a move away

The name of Leo Román keeps appearing in other people's back pages. Deportivo La Coruña say nothing, which says plenty.

Yeremay was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 31. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

Match30 Nov 2026

Nobody above Deportivo La Coruña

First, on 34 points. The table is a fact and a fact is allowed to be enjoyed, which is as far as anybody at the club is prepared to go in public.

Squad30 Nov 2026

Leo Román 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 Deportivo La Coruña this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad30 Nov 2026

José Giménez 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.

Match28 Nov 2026

Mario Soriano sends Deportivo La Coruña past Granada

It finished 1‑0, and it was Mario Soriano’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Deportivo La Coruña.

Loan watch30 Nov 2026

Mariano Barreda counts the days

“I watch every Deportivo La Coruña game from here. That says everything about where my head is.” The loan at Auckland City runs its course, but his heart never made the trip.

Player ratings30 Nov 2026

Adrià Altimira takes the honours

Marked 7.47 on an afternoon he ran from the first whistle to the last. Whatever else went wrong, Deportivo La Coruña had the best player on the pitch.

Squad30 Nov 2026

Yeremay is in the form of his life

A season average of 7.20 with 6 goals behind it. Opponents have started planning around him, which is the sincerest compliment football pays.

The dugout30 Nov 2026

A satisfied Raúl Vidal

“The players deserve the credit. My job was easy today.” It was not, and everybody in the room knew it; after 1‑0, Raúl Vidal could afford to be generous.

Adama Traoré was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 41. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

Market16 Nov 2026

Jonatan Goya has one foot out of the door

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

Squad16 Nov 2026

Words exchanged at Deportivo La Coruña

Leo Román and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Squad16 Nov 2026

A row about effort at Deportivo La Coruña

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

Squad16 Nov 2026

No place for Edson in the new shape

He is not being dropped. There is simply nowhere in the formation Deportivo La Coruña are playing to put a man who does what he does, which is a harder thing to be told than any team sheet.

The dugout16 Nov 2026

Raúl Vidal on the point

“A point is a point and I will take it, but we should have had all three.” Raúl Vidal after the 0‑0 draw, and the sentence every manager in the country said at some stage this weekend.

The dugout16 Nov 2026

A promise honoured for Zakaria Eddahchouri

It is not much of a headline and it is the reason players believe the next promise. Deportivo La Coruña told Zakaria Eddahchouri something would happen and then it happened, which in this industry passes for remarkable.

The dugout16 Nov 2026

Deportivo La Coruña pick somebody else ahead of Iván Bella

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.

Market16 Nov 2026

The Yeremay story refuses to die

It has been denied twice and printed three times, which is the usual arithmetic. Until Yeremay signs something — a contract at Deportivo La Coruña or anywhere else — this column belongs to him.

Squad28 Sep 2026

Jonathan Asp-Jensen breaks a bone — 56 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 56 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Market28 Sep 2026

Álvaro Fernández asks to leave Deportivo La Coruña

“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.

Squad28 Sep 2026

Tempers go at Deportivo La Coruña

Leo Román 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.

The terraces28 Sep 2026

The crowd has taken to Lorenzo Amatucci

At 22 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.

Squad28 Sep 2026

José Giménez 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.

Player ratings28 Sep 2026

Lorenzo Amatucci was on a different afternoon to everybody else

8.31. There are performances a supporter describes to somebody who was not there and cannot quite convey; this was one, and the number does not help either.

Player ratings28 Sep 2026

Adama Traoré in the eights

A performance of 8.00 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

Squad28 Sep 2026

Appearance number 100 for Lorenzo Amatucci

100 games in this shirt, through managers and relegations and everything else. Service like it is disappearing from the game and the crowd knows what it is watching.

Player ratings28 Sep 2026

Yeremay runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 17. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Transfer targets17 Aug 2026

Door shut on Ionuţ Radu

Deportivo La Coruña asked and Celta said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Market17 Aug 2026

Rubén López turns Persik down

“It was not right for me. I am not going to explain why to anybody except the people I owe an explanation to.” A deal agreed between two clubs, and a player who declined to be part of it.

Market17 Aug 2026

Deportivo La Coruña say no — this time

The offer from Standard Liege for Álvaro Fernández was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Transfer targets17 Aug 2026

Deportivo La Coruña bid $570.0K for Ignacio Cellerino

The offer went to Vélez this week and it is theirs to answer. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loud the door closes.

Squad17 Aug 2026

A falling-out at Deportivo La Coruña

Leo Román and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Transfer targets17 Aug 2026

No deal for Pelayo at that price

Deportivo La Coruña offered $600.0K; Rayo Vallecano said it was not close. The manager will be told the money is still there for the right player, which is what managers are told.

Market17 Aug 2026

Castellón join the queue for Lucas Noubi

Add another name to the list: Castellón have asked the question everybody in the game has been asking about Lucas Noubi. The answer from Deportivo La Coruña has not changed — yet.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Iván Bella is a square peg at Deportivo La Coruña

The system has changed and his position has not. A footballer can improve his form; he cannot improve the manager’s formation, and that is the whole of the problem.
