A knee injury of the worst kind for Nil Sánchez

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

Market20 Nov 2028

Lucas Duré puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Cádiz, and it is not being withdrawn.

The dugout20 Nov 2028

Joaquín González keeps the receipts

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

Squad20 Nov 2028

Words exchanged at Cádiz

David García and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Squad20 Nov 2028

Felipe Fernández 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.

The dugout20 Nov 2028

No hiding place for Jorge Moreno

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

The dugout20 Nov 2028

When it matters, Javi Ontiveros plays

It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.

The dugout20 Nov 2028

Jandro Orellana is still being punished for one mistake

Nobody will confirm it and the team sheets confirm it every week. One error has bought him a spell as second choice that is already longer than the error deserved.

Bojan Kovačević linked with a move away

The name of Bojan Kovačević keeps appearing in other people's back pages. Cádiz say nothing, which says plenty.

Match9 Nov 2028

Cádiz announce themselves in Europe

3‑0 against St. Gallen, on a night that will be replayed at this club for a generation. Continental reputations are made in single evenings and this was the evening.

Squad13 Nov 2028

Nil Sánchez damages knee ligaments — 26 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 26 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Squad13 Nov 2028

Words exchanged at Cádiz

Mario Martín and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Match12 Nov 2028

Cádiz come up short against Málaga

Málaga left with the points after a 1‑2 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

The dugout13 Nov 2028

Diego Conde 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.

The terraces13 Nov 2028

The crowd has taken to Tamiou Kpebane

At 22 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.

Jandro Orellana was on a different afternoon to everybody else

8.41. There are performances a supporter describes to somebody who was not there and cannot quite convey; this was one, and the number does not help either.

Javi Ontiveros in the eights

A performance of 8.37 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

Alfon was on a different afternoon to everybody else
