Boardroom

Real Santander put Jorge Cordoba on notice

The board have said in public what they had been saying in private. Results between now and the next meeting decide it, and everybody in the building knows the arithmetic.

Player ratings

Both of them Juan David Ararat's — 8.52

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.52, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Market

Álex Segura asks to leave Real Santander

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Squad

Santiago Rey 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 Real Santander this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match

The run at home goes on for Real Santander

9 matches unbeaten here. Every visiting manager is asked about it in the week before, which is precisely why it keeps going.

Match

Real Santander see off Valledupar

Three points for Real Santander, 3‑1 the final word against Valledupar in a contest settled by the finer margins.

The terraces

The crowd has taken to Santiago Rey

At 22 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.

Squad

Johao Camacho 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.

Squad

Real Santander lose Fernando Cuadrado

19 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.

Squad

Camilo Durán damages knee ligaments — 19 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 19 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Squad

Jesús Mejía is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 20 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.

Squad

Santiago Rey 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 Real Santander this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Jorge Pérez 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.

Market

Real Santander sign Fernando Cuadrado, one for the future

Fernando Cuadrado is 14, and Real Santander have signed him for the player he will be rather than the one he is. The first team can wait; the point of a deal like this is the years it buys.

Market

A long bet from Real Santander on James Mejia

He is 14, and nobody at Real Santander signed him for this season. Deals like this are judged in four years, by people who may not still be in the building.
