Match9 May 2043

No end in sight to Ceuta's wait for a win

14 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Ceuta has to find a result from somewhere.

Boardroom11 May 2043

The scrutiny sharpens at Ceuta

Nobody upstairs has said anything, which is the loudest thing they could do. Results buy silence in this game; the account at Ceuta is running low.

Squad11 May 2043

Tempers go at Ceuta

Marc Domènech 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.

Match9 May 2043

Ceuta leaking at the back

6 matches, two or more conceded in every one of them. Sides that create as much as this can live with it for a while. Nobody lives with it forever.

Match9 May 2043

Ceuta come up short against Celta

Celta left with the points after a 2‑3 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Squad11 May 2043

Words at Ceuta training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Nektarios Koloskopis 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.

Squad11 May 2043

Cristiano Silvestri 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.

Squad11 May 2043

Marcin Zalewski stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Marcin Zalewski and Ceuta agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Player ratings11 May 2043

Marc Domènech runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 12. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad16 Feb 2043

Daniel Orduz keeps Ceuta 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.

Player ratings16 Feb 2043

A defender's goal wins it for Ceuta — 7.28

1 for Uberney Rovira, marked 7.28, and a centre-half's name in the part of the report he normally only reaches by mistake. He will not be allowed to forget it in the dressing room for a month.

Match14 Feb 2043

Ceuta leaking at the back

6 matches, two or more conceded in every one of them. Sides that create as much as this can live with it for a while. Nobody lives with it forever.

Squad16 Feb 2043

Tempers go at Ceuta

Marc Domènech 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.

Match14 Feb 2043

Uberney Rovira’s goal not enough for Ceuta

Uberney Rovira scored, and precious little else went right: 3‑4 to Oviedo, and a quiet walk to the dressing room.

Match14 Feb 2043

7 goals as Ceuta and Oviedo go for it

Defending was optional and nobody took up the option. 7 goals between Ceuta and Oviedo, and not one of the people who paid to be there will ask for the money back.

Squad16 Feb 2043

Words at Ceuta training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Tommaso Valenta 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.

The terraces15 Sep 2042

Anger at Ceuta spills outside the ground

It has stopped being a mood in the stands and started being something organised. Boards can ignore a bad atmosphere for a long time; they cannot ignore this stage of it for very long at all.

Market15 Sep 2042

Only the photograph left for Daniel Orduz

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Daniel Orduz will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Ceuta the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Squad15 Sep 2042

Marc Domènech 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.

Squad15 Sep 2042

Daniel Orduz 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 Ceuta this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match13 Sep 2042

Zaragoza take the points off Ceuta

Beaten 1‑2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Squad15 Sep 2042

No hiding place for Marko Jankovic

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Marko Jankovic, and the manager let it.

Squad15 Sep 2042

Kirill Apanasevich stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Kirill Apanasevich and Ceuta agree another 1 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Player ratings15 Sep 2042

Nobody could get near Marc Domènech

Successful dribbles: 8. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Market15 Sep 2042

The market said no: Marko Jankovic stays put

Ceuta opened the door and nobody walked through it. So Marko Jankovic stays — listed, trained, and available — while both sides mark the days to January on the same calendar.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Player ratings8 Sep 2042

Both of them Marc Domènech's — 8.96

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.96, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Market8 Sep 2042

Only the photograph left for Jort Roovers

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Jort Roovers will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Ceuta the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Squad8 Sep 2042

Abou Bassinga 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 Ceuta this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad8 Sep 2042

Andreas Wind is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 21 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.

Squad8 Sep 2042

Words at Ceuta training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Marc Domènech 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.

Match6 Sep 2042

Ceuta see off Cultural Leonesa

Three points for Ceuta, 3‑1 the final word against Cultural Leonesa in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Squad8 Sep 2042

The manager makes an example of Daniel Orduz

“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.

Match6 Sep 2042

No time for Cultural Leonesa to settle

The goal that put Cultural Leonesa ahead was still being replayed on the concourse when Ceuta equalised, 3 minutes later. Leads are only worth what you do with them.

Market8 Sep 2042

Talks stall between Ceuta and Tommaso Valenta

“We are a long way apart, and pretending otherwise helps nobody.” Neither side is close, and the calendar is not on the club's side.

In brief
