Transfer targets

Alcorcón agree $1.8M for Diego Aznar

The clubs have shaken hands with Huesca; the player has not yet. Personal terms are next, and personal terms are where more deals die than anybody prints.

Market

Thomas Juncos 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 The request is on a desk at Alcorcón, and it is not being withdrawn.

The dugout

George Nevett says Alcorcón 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.

Transfer targets

An offer of $560.0K for Álvaro Odriozola

Alcorcón have gone to Real Sociedad with a bid, and the supporters have gone to the internet with an opinion about it. Whether either changes anything is up to the selling club.

Squad

Words exchanged at Alcorcón

Mouctar Diakhaby 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.

Transfer targets

Door shut on Chidera Ejuke

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

Squad

Words at Alcorcón training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Pol Domingo is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Market

Espanyol watching Agustín Fernández

The interest is real enough to have reached print. Alcorcón have said nothing, which in a transfer window is its own kind of answer.

The dugout

Mamor Niang 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.

In brief

Back issues

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad

A knee injury of the worst kind for Juanma Lendínez

79 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Alcorcón lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

The dugout

Emiliano Zambrano keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Alcorcón may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Player ratings

Vintage Pere Milla — 7.96

At 36 every good afternoon gets called a throwback, and this one was: 7.96, and nobody on the pitch better.

Squad

Words exchanged at Alcorcón

Mouctar Diakhaby 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

Pere Milla reaches 500 appearances

500 games in the shirt. Nobody sets out to build a record like that; it happens to a certain kind of player at a certain kind of club, and this town knows what it has.

Squad

Words at Alcorcón training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Amath N'Diaye is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Match

Alcorcón get the job done against Cultural Leonesa

A 2‑1 win over Cultural Leonesa, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

The terraces

Alcorcón supporters have found a favourite in Thomas Juncos

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 22-year-old it feels ownership of. Thomas Juncos has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

Match

The drought breaks for Alcorcón

5 without a win is the sort of run that changes how a town talks about its club, and Cultural Leonesa were the afternoon it stopped. Nothing is fixed by one result and everything feels different by one.

In brief

From our football correspondent Crisis

Squad

A knee injury of the worst kind for Juanma Lendínez

87 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Alcorcón lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Match

Alcorcón bow out of the cup

Valladolid go through and Alcorcón go home, 0‑1 the scoreline that did it. The dressing room will call the league the priority now, because that is what dressing rooms say.

Match

5 matches without a win for Alcorcón

The run now stands at 5, and the questions being asked around Alcorcón are no longer polite ones.

Squad

Dani Requena 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 Alcorcón this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Pol Domingo 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.

Match

James Torres’s goal not enough for Alcorcón

James Torres scored, and precious little else went right: 1‑2 to Girona, and a quiet walk to the dressing room.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Gaizka Ayesa

“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.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Thomas Juncos

Successful dribbles: 16. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

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 1‑2 defeat, delivered by Hugo Lozano to a room that had heard them before.
