Match

Andorra find a way past Ceuta

Ceuta made Andorra work for it, but the scoreboard read 1-0 at the end and the table does not ask how.

Squad

Álex Petxarromán 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.

Squad

Thomas Carrique knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Andorra, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Squad

Manu Nieto has company in his position

The competition arrived without a word said to him about it. Manu Nieto keeps the shirt for now, at Andorra's convenience rather than his own.

Market

João Neto joins Andorra on a free

No fee and no drama: João Neto has signed at Andorra, and the wage bill is the only line that moved.

Market

Talks stall between Andorra and Victor

“We are a long way apart, and pretending otherwise helps nobody.” Neither side is close, and the calendar is not on the club's side.

Squad

At 20, Aingeru Olabarrieta is already the best thing here

An average of 7.13 in a first team he is several years too young for. Andorra have something, and by now the whole division has noticed.

Match

Castellón take the points off Andorra

Beaten 1-2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Thomas Carrique

“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.

Squad

Marco Sportiello lets one through his hands

A defender's mistake gets tidied up by somebody else; a goalkeeper's ends up in the net. He knew before the ball crossed the line, and so did everybody in the ground.

Market

Andorra sign Victor, one for the future

Victor is 20, and Andorra have signed him for the player he will be rather than the one he is. The first team can wait; the point of a deal like this is the years it buys.

The terraces

The spotlight tightens on Marco Sportiello

Every touch is being weighed now, in print and everywhere else. Some players grow into that and some are quietly ruined by it, and nobody knows which in advance.
