The dugout28 Feb 2028

Iago Aspas says Celta went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Market28 Feb 2028

Hugo Mallo 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 The request is on a desk at Celta, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad28 Feb 2028

Tempers go at Celta

Robert Moreau 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.

Squad28 Feb 2028

Words at Celta training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Ilaix Moriba 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 ratings28 Feb 2028

Hugo Álvarez runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 18. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

The dugout28 Feb 2028

No place for Ionuţ Radu on the big day

He found out with everybody else, an hour before kick-off, from a sheet of paper on a wall. Nobody at Celta pretended it was anything other than a decision about him.

Player ratings28 Feb 2028

The afternoon belonged to Marcos Alonso

A mark of 7.70, and nobody in the ground would argue with it. He was involved in everything that mattered and most of what did not.

The dugout28 Feb 2028

Javi Rodríguez 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 Javi Rodríguez is on it.

The dugout28 Feb 2028

Romain Correia 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.

From our football correspondent Triumph

Match21 Feb 2028

Celta refuse to drop out of the race

Position 3, 60 points, and the result everyone checks first is now theirs. The word is still not being said around the ground, which is how you know everyone is thinking it.

Market21 Feb 2028

The Real Sociedad deal is off

Everything was agreed until it was not, and Christian Carracedo reports back to Celta with a summer to forget. Neither club is saying who walked away from the table.

Squad21 Feb 2028

Words exchanged at Celta

Robert Moreau 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.

Squad21 Feb 2028

A move Emanuel Cecchini 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. Emanuel Cecchini is living that version at Celta, and it tends to show in the first month.

Squad21 Feb 2028

A row about effort at Celta

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

Match19 Feb 2028

Celta see off Real Sociedad

Three points for Celta, 2‑1 the final word against Real Sociedad in a contest settled by the finer margins.

The terraces21 Feb 2028

One of their own: Robert Moreau

He is 23 and the ground already sings his name, which is a thing that happens to local boys and almost never to signings. Everything from here is measured against an affection he did nothing to earn except be from here.

Market21 Feb 2028

Duvan Hernandez 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.

Market21 Feb 2028

Celta sign Francisco Casanova with one eye on the future

Nobody at the club will say out loud who this signing is for, which is how you know exactly who it is for. Francisco Casanova has been brought in to take a shirt somebody is still wearing.

In brief

  • The dugout The manager makes an example of Jorge Pascual
  • Squad Celta are still strangers to each other
  • The dugout Ionuţ Radu has become a man the manager trusts
