Squad7 Jan 2036

A knee injury of the worst kind for Chupete

37 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Málaga lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Boardroom7 Jan 2036

Interim Coach has until the next board meeting

What was said behind closed doors has now been said in front of a microphone. Everybody at Málaga can do the arithmetic, including the man it is aimed at.

Player ratings7 Jan 2036

Both of them Endrick's — 9.07

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 9.07, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Squad7 Jan 2036

Alexandr Danilov breaks a bone — 21 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 21 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Squad7 Jan 2036

Haitam Abaida has been here 16 seasons

230 appearances across 16 seasons in one shirt. Nobody builds a career like that on purpose any more; it happens to a certain kind of footballer at a certain kind of club.

Market7 Jan 2036

Only the photograph left for Sam Kane

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Sam Kane will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Málaga the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Squad7 Jan 2036

Words at Málaga training over how hard people work

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

Match5 Jan 2036

Málaga see off Huesca

Three points for Málaga, 2‑1 the final word against Huesca in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Market7 Jan 2036

Eyes on Gonzalo Camacho again

The phone has started ringing about Gonzalo Camacho again, and this time the name on the line is Cultural Leonesa. Málaga are listening politely and promising nothing.

In brief

  • The terraces The stands have heard the Endrick talk too
  • Market No place for Samuel Mitchell in the plan
  • Boardroom Málaga pull $22.1M back off the table

Match3 Feb 2035

The wait goes on for Málaga

11 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

Player ratings5 Feb 2035

Endrick runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 34. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Boardroom5 Feb 2035

The scrutiny sharpens at Málaga

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

Squad5 Feb 2035

Álex Pastor has been here 10 seasons

365 appearances across 10 seasons in one shirt. Nobody builds a career like that on purpose any more; it happens to a certain kind of footballer at a certain kind of club.

Squad5 Feb 2035

Samuel Mitchell keeps the receipts

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

Squad5 Feb 2035

Endrick 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.

Squad5 Feb 2035

Tempers go at Málaga

Aarón Ochoa 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.

Match3 Feb 2035

Málaga draw a blank against Espanyol

The crowd waited for a goal that never came. Espanyol defended in numbers and left with what they came for, and the two sides could be playing still without troubling a scorer.

Boardroom5 Feb 2035

$25.4M taken back off the Málaga table

What was available in the summer has quietly gone. Upstairs nobody will call it a change of ambition; downstairs nobody will call it anything else.

In brief
