Player ratings

Both of them Ali Houary's — 9.89

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 9.89, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Squad

Alejandro Iturbe keeps Elche in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 7 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Squad

David Affengruber is carrying Elche

19 goals and a season average of 7.40. Form like that gets noticed well beyond this town.

Squad

Daniel Campos says Elche 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.

Market

Thomas McGill has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Elche they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Squad

Lucas Cepeda 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 Elche this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match

Elche see off Valladolid

Three points for Elche, 4‑3 the final word against Valladolid in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Match

Nobody could stop scoring

7 goals. Both benches spent the second half looking at each other rather than at the pitch. Purists will complain about Elche and Valladolid in equal measure; everybody else had a wonderful time.

Player ratings

Gonzalo in the eights

A performance of 8.85 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

Squad

Daniel Campos keeps the receipts

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

Squad

Víctor Chust signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Víctor Chust commits to Elche for another 5 years.

Squad

Words at Elche training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Gonzalo 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.

Squad

Tempers go at Elche

Marc Aguado was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Market

Experience through the door at Elche

Dejan Stanivuković arrives at 35 with nothing left to prove and plenty left to pass on. Legs are a young man's currency; knowing where to stand never ages.

Market

The Martim Neto question follows Elche around

Every press conference now starts and ends the same way: with Martim Neto’s future. The manager has run out of new ways to say nothing.

Market

Real Madrid come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Elche did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Market

Giuseppe Ciocci moves on

Oviedo pay $1.2M, and the deal is done. The number reads well on a balance sheet; whether it reads well on the pitch is next season's question.

Squad

Lucas Cepeda 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 Elche this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.
