Miguel Prado 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 The request is on a desk at Ourense CF, and it is not being withdrawn.

Ourense CF say no — this time
The offer from Mirandés for David Rabadán was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Ramón Enríquez in a row with a teammate
It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Ourense CF this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Door shut on Arnau Ortiz
Ourense CF asked and Atlético Madrid said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

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

The manager makes an example of Axel Arcos
“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.

Axel Arcos has had enough of the bench
“I did not come here to warm up in front of people.” He is out of contract eventually, he is old enough to count the weeks, and Ourense CF will have to give him a reason to stay or an exit.

Hugo Sanz 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 Hugo Sanz is on it.

Marcelo Vaca 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 Ourense CF, and both men came out saying it was fine.
In brief
- Market Ourense CF put Ignacio Gularte up for sale
