Marked for José Albert

Squad

Ramón Juan stands alone

6 saves, and a scoreline the ten men in front of him had no right to. Goalkeepers only get noticed on the bad days; this was one of the other ones.

Market

Only the photograph left for Davo

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Davo will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Ibiza the goodbyes have quietly begun.

The dugout

José Albert says Ibiza 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.

Match

The wait goes on for Ibiza

5 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

Player ratings

Up for the corner, and Théo Valls delivers — 7.86

Centre-halves are allowed forward twice a season and are judged on what they do when they get there. Théo Valls scored, was marked 7.86, and got back before anybody noticed he had gone.

Squad

Words exchanged at Ibiza

Carlos Fernández 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.

Squad

Tachi 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.

Transfer targets

Ibiza rebuffed over Gui

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Alavés have kept their man, and Ibiza go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Squad

Juan Familia-Castillo makes it 100

100 times in these colours, in all weathers and under four or five different managers. That kind of service is quietly disappearing from the game.

In brief

  • The dugout The manager makes an example of Deian Verón
  • The dugout The manager has not finished forgetting Tachi's mistake
  • Match Ibiza share the spoils with Gimnàstic

From our football correspondent Steady

Player ratings

Jorge De Asis beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 18. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Squad

Words exchanged at Ibiza

Derlis Mereles 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.

Player ratings

Nicolás Salinas stands above it all

Some games turn on a moment; this one turned on a man. 7.53 on the card, and the Ibiza support went home talking about one name.

The dugout

The manager’s verdict

“I am frustrated, honestly. We did enough to win and we did not win.” Rubén Caballero was not hiding it after 0‑0, and nobody in the Ibiza dressing room was either.

Squad

A row about effort at Ibiza

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

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Cristian Torrelavid

“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.

Match

No goals between Ibiza and Eldense

Ninety minutes, two goalkeepers with clean gloves, and not one finish worth keeping. Eldense will be the happier side with the point.

The dugout

The form table has caught José Albert

Somebody else has been better, the manager has said so with a team sheet, and there is no argument to be had. He will get the shirt back the only way it can be got back.

The dugout

Deian Verón does not fit this one

Ninety specific minutes wanted a different sort of player, and the manager picked one. He is not out of form and he is not in the side, and both are true.
