The Zaragoza Chronicle

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

Yoel keeps Zaragoza in it on his own
Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 9 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Samed Baždar 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 Zaragoza this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.
Market21 Aug 2028
Francisco Santana is a Zaragoza player again
He left as a boy and has come back still knowing where the away end is. Most signings have to be explained to a town; this one needed a photograph and nothing else.

As if he never left: Àlex Sánchez returns
Some transfers need a press campaign. This one needed a shirt with the old number on it. Àlex Sánchez is a Zaragoza player again, and the town has its story of the summer.
Market21 Aug 2028
Enzo Vega comes home
The shirt still fits. Enzo Vega is back at Zaragoza, and half the ground remembers him in these colours already. Some signings need selling to the town; this one sold itself.

Lucas Garrido comes home
The shirt still fits. Lucas Garrido is back at Zaragoza, and half the ground remembers him in these colours already. Some signings need selling to the town; this one sold itself.

Zaragoza find a way past Getafe
Getafe made Zaragoza work for it, but the scoreboard read 3‑2 at the end and the table does not ask how.

A masterclass from Adrián Liso
Marked 9.09 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.
In brief
- Squad No hiding place for Edoardo Goldaniga
- Player ratings Samed Baždar in the eights
- Player ratings One of those days for Javier Martínez
