Player ratings

Carlos Martín runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 48. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Match

No end in sight to Racing Santander's wait for a win

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

Squad

Simon Eriksson 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 Racing Santander this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Pablo Ramón 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.

Match

3 matches without a goal for Racing Santander

The chances are being made and something is happening between the making and the finishing. 3 matches now, and the anxiety in the ground arrives a little earlier every week.

Squad

Racing Santander count the cost of losing Jorge Cabrera

14 days, the scan says, and scans are kinder than reality. The fixtures in that window have just become somebody else’s job.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Aritz Aldasoro

“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.

Match

No goals between Racing Santander and Leganés

Ninety minutes, two goalkeepers with clean gloves, and not one finish worth keeping. Leganés will be the happier side with the point.

Market

Racing Santander put Ekaitz Jiménez up for sale

The list is a quiet document with a loud meaning. Ekaitz Jiménez may talk to anybody who asks, and everybody at the club understands what that means.

Market

Racing Santander say no — this time

The offer from Barcelona for Sergio Canales was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Boardroom

5 academy players handed senior numbers at Racing Santander

The morning the pathway stops being a brochure and becomes a team sheet. Most of them will not be here in three years; all of them have already done the hard part, which was getting to today.

Squad

Pablo Ramón 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

Tempers go at Racing Santander

Íñigo Vicente 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

Racing Santander promote Julen Navarro from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Julen Navarro 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.

Market

One of our own: Jorge Cabrera joins the Racing Santander first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Jorge Cabrera is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Market

Cristian Vega steps up from the Racing Santander academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Cristian Vega 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.

Squad

No hiding place for Manu Hernando

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

Squad

5 new faces, and Racing Santander 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.
