Market7 Jun 2038

Trabzonspor come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Cádiz did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Squad7 Jun 2038

Bakary Diawara is carrying Cádiz

19 goals and a season average of 7.70. Form like that gets noticed well beyond this town.

Player ratings7 Jun 2038

Jacques Faure scores twice — 9.32

Two goals and a mark of 9.32 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Player ratings7 Jun 2038

Both of them García Pascual's — 8.69

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.69, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Boardroom7 Jun 2038

The numbers do not look good at Cádiz

Wages have outrun income and the accountants have started attending meetings they used to send apologies to. Ambition comes second in a season like this.

Squad7 Jun 2038

13 seasons of Victor Aznar

508 appearances across 13 seasons in these colours. Careers like that are not built any more, and Cádiz know what they have.

Player ratings7 Jun 2038

Age has not caught Azzedine Ounahi yet — 8.41

At 38 he is supposed to be managing his minutes. Instead he was marked 8.41 and looked, for ninety minutes, exactly like the player everybody remembers.

Market7 Jun 2038

Sergio Muñoz hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Cádiz can pretend not to have heard.

Boardroom7 Jun 2038

An order from above at Cádiz: somebody has to go

Balance sheets do not care about form or about who the manager was planning to build around. The board have decided a sale is required, and the only question left is which name ends up carrying it.

Player ratings10 May 2038

García Pascual, 35, rolls back the years — 8.00

There is an age at which every good afternoon gets described as a throwback, which is unfair and also accurate. 8.00 at 35, and nobody on the pitch was better.

Squad10 May 2038

Tempers go at Cádiz

Bojan Kovačević 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.

Squad10 May 2038

Jacques Faure is carrying Cádiz

11 goals and a season average of 7.54. Form like that gets noticed well beyond this town.

Squad10 May 2038

Iuri Tabatadze 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 ratings10 May 2038

Ninety minutes of Jacques Faure at his very best

Marked 8.82. Players have careers without a single afternoon like this in them, and he has just had one in front of everybody at Cádiz.

Squad10 May 2038

The manager has not finished forgetting Victor Aznar's mistake

Publicly it is behind everybody. It is not behind the man who picks the team, and the only place that shows is a team sheet. He will get another chance; he will get it in a match that matters less.

Match8 May 2038

Cádiz share the spoils with Córdoba

A 2‑2 draw with Córdoba leaves the dressing room somewhere between relief and regret.

Market10 May 2038

The Bojan Kovačević story refuses to die

It has been denied twice and printed three times, which is the usual arithmetic. Until Bojan Kovačević signs something — a contract at Cádiz or anywhere else — this column belongs to him.

Squad12 Apr 2038

Victor Aznar keeps Cádiz in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 7 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Player ratings12 Apr 2038

Age has not caught Azzedine Ounahi yet — 9.23

At 38 he is supposed to be managing his minutes. Instead he was marked 9.23 and looked, for ninety minutes, exactly like the player everybody remembers.

Squad12 Apr 2038

Words at Cádiz training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Azzedine Ounahi 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.

Squad12 Apr 2038

A move Sergio Muñoz would have made for nothing

There is a version of every career where the player ends up somewhere he chose rather than somewhere that chose him. Sergio Muñoz is living that version at Cádiz, and it tends to show in the first month.

Match10 Apr 2038

Cádiz find a way past Valladolid

Valladolid made Cádiz work for it, but the scoreboard read 2‑1 at the end and the table does not ask how.

Match10 Apr 2038

Another one collected away from home

3 on the bounce on the road for Cádiz. The coaches leave early, arrive at unlovely grounds in the dark, and keep coming home with three points.

The terraces12 Apr 2038

The spotlight tightens on Victor Aznar

Every touch is being weighed now, in print and everywhere else. Some players grow into that and some are quietly ruined by it, and nobody knows which in advance.

In brief
