Match10 Mar 2029

Chastening afternoon for Ceuta

A 0‑3 beating by Deportivo La Coruña was the sort of result that empties a stadium long before the final whistle.

Match10 Mar 2029

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

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

Squad12 Mar 2029

Words exchanged at Ceuta

Marc Domènech 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.

Squad12 Mar 2029

Ale Meléndez 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.

Player ratings12 Mar 2029

Cédric Teguia runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 18. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

The dugout12 Mar 2029

The manager makes an example of Manu Sánchez

“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.

Boardroom12 Mar 2029

Doors closed at Ceuta

The music was off and the showers ran late. What was said in that dressing room stays there, but Saturday will publish the minutes.

The dugout12 Mar 2029

The view from the dugout

“We will look at it, we will learn from it, and we go again.” The three sentences every manager keeps for a 0‑3 defeat, delivered by Izei García to a room that had heard them before.

The dugout12 Mar 2029

Antonio Salado asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

The terraces5 Mar 2029

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.

Boardroom5 Mar 2029

Ceuta put Izei García on notice

The board have said in public what they had been saying in private. Results between now and the next meeting decide it, and everybody in the building knows the arithmetic.

Match3 Mar 2029

6 matches without a win for Ceuta

The run now stands at 6, and the questions being asked around Ceuta are no longer polite ones.

Squad5 Mar 2029

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.

Squad5 Mar 2029

Toni Abad signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Toni Abad commits to Ceuta for another 2 years.

Squad5 Mar 2029

Words at Ceuta training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Manu Sánchez 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 dugout5 Mar 2029

Francisco Guerrero 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.

Market5 Mar 2029

Still no ink between Ceuta and Guillermo Vallejo

“We keep meeting, and we keep leaving the room with the same numbers we walked in with.” Another round of talks at Ceuta, another week without a signature from Guillermo Vallejo.

The dugout5 Mar 2029

Guillermo Vallejo dropped after a run of poor form

The one version of being left out a player cannot argue with, and the one he takes worst. Somebody else has been better and the team sheet says so, in public, every week until it changes.

In brief
