Aingeru Olabarrieta 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 Andorra this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Graduation day at Andorra
4 boys move up, and somewhere in the building the people who coached them at twelve are quietly having the best morning of their working year. Nothing about this shows up in a result and it is why the academy exists.

Pedro Ríos steps up from the Andorra academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Pedro Ríos has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

Andorra promote Lucas Herrero from within
The academy exists for exactly this morning. Lucas Herrero has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Pablo Medina steps up from the Andorra academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Pablo Medina has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

5 new faces, and Andorra are still learning each other
A squad rebuilt inside one window pays for it in a currency nobody budgets for. The football is not worse than the sum of the players; it is worse than the sum of the players who have played together before.

Somebody is after Aingeru Olabarrieta’s shirt
A new face in his position, and Aingeru Olabarrieta suddenly has to win back what he thought he owned. Andorra have promised nothing — clubs rarely do at this stage.
In brief
- Squad A season on the outside for José Perales
