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 The request is on a desk at Andorra, and it is not being withdrawn.

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.

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.

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.

Valladolid take the points off Andorra
Beaten 0‑2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

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.

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.
