Daniel López: that is not what I was promised
“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Leganés have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

The wait goes on for Leganés
7 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.

The silence upstairs is getting loud at Leganés
Nobody on the board has said anything against the manager, which is the point — they have stopped saying anything for him either.

A falling-out at Leganés
Enric Franquesa and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Juan Cruz has his eye on Europe
It is not a grievance and it is not a demand: he wants to play continental football, and he has stopped hiding it. Whether Leganés can give him that is a question about the club, not about him.

Íñigo Ruiz de Galarreta 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.

A bad afternoon for Leganés against Castellón
0‑1 to Castellón, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

The manager makes an example of Alexis Cuello
“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.

Nobody could get near Yassine Kechta
Successful dribbles: 16. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.
In brief
