Market

Marc Bombardó 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 The request is on a desk at Andorra, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad

Pau López keeps Andorra 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

Javi Mier gets the move he always wanted

Footballers are asked about their boyhood club so often that nobody listens to the answer. Javi Mier has just signed for Andorra, and for once the answer mattered.

Transfer targets

No deal for Ramón Enríquez at that price

Andorra offered $460.0K; Málaga 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.

Squad

Tempers go at Andorra

Thomas Carrique 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

Valladolid take the points off Andorra

Beaten 0‑2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Squad

No place for Javi Mier in the new shape

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

The dugout

The view from the dugout

“We will look at it, we will learn from it, and we go again.” The three sentences every manager keeps for a 0‑2 defeat, delivered by Ibai Vázquez to a room that had heard them before.

The dugout

Martín Aguirregabiria dropped after a run of poor form

The one version of being left out a player cannot argue with, and the one he takes worst. Somebody else has been better and the team sheet says so, in public, every week until it changes.

Squad

9 saves: Pau López was the team

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the whole of the defence. 9 saves, several of them the kind nobody expects to see made, and ten outfield players who owe him a drink.

Transfer targets

Andorra baulk at the price for David Alaba

Real Madrid wanted more than $660.0K and the board would not go there. Walked away, for now, which in a transfer window means until somebody blinks.

Transfer targets

Door shut on Tomás Galván

Andorra asked and River Plate said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Match

Eibar take the points off Andorra

Beaten 0‑1, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

The dugout

Ibai Vázquez answers for it

“The supporters are entitled to be angry. So am I. We will put it right.” 0‑1, a manager saying the necessary things, and a dressing room that heard a different version of them.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Marc Cardona

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

The dugout

Marc Domènech left out for tactical reasons at Andorra

The shape wanted a different profile against this opponent, which is a real football answer and no comfort at all to the man it is about. He did nothing wrong and he did not play.

Squad

The room hears from Pau López

“Nobody outside is coming to save us.” It was short, it was not comfortable, and by all accounts the Andorra squad were quieter afterwards than they had been all season.

Player ratings

Manu Nieto unlocks it

Chances created: 4. The column nobody reads carried the whole story of the match, and his name was at the top of it.
