Marked for Izei Suárez

326 Edition

The Alavés Sentinel

25 Oct 2032
From our football correspondent Upbeat

Squad25 Oct 2032

A knee injury of the worst kind for Ignacio Reyes

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

Player ratings25 Oct 2032

Mikel Rodríguez scores twice — 8.36

Two goals and a mark of 8.36 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Squad25 Oct 2032

A fracture rules Izei Suárez out for 15 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Alavés will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Market25 Oct 2032

Bakary Cissé 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 Alavés can pretend not to have heard.

Market25 Oct 2032

Paul Roussel is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Alavés is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Match23 Oct 2032

Still nobody has beaten Alavés

The unbeaten run reaches 7. Some of them were wins and some were escapes, but a side that refuses to lose is a side other dressing rooms talk about.

Squad25 Oct 2032

A row about effort at Alavés

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Jesús Areso was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Squad25 Oct 2032

Words exchanged at Alavés

Lucas Ríos 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.

Match23 Oct 2032

Alavés find a way past Ponferradina

Ponferradina made Alavés work for it, but the scoreboard read 3‑1 at the end and the table does not ask how.

Squad18 Oct 2032

The knee: Ignacio Reyes out for 23 days

23 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. Alavés lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

Squad18 Oct 2032

22 days out for Izei Suárez after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Alavés will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Market18 Oct 2032

Only the photograph left for Danilo Nešić

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Danilo Nešić will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Alavés the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Squad18 Oct 2032

Words exchanged at Alavés

Mikel Rodríguez 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.

Match16 Oct 2032

6 unbeaten for Alavés

Hard to beat is not the same as winning, but 6 matches without defeat is a foundation Alavés did not have in the autumn.

Squad18 Oct 2032

Words at Alavés training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Tommaso Cassandro 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.

Player ratings18 Oct 2032

Marco Virtuani runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 17. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Match16 Oct 2032

Bilbao Athletic snatch it back from Alavés

A goal on 87 minutes turned three points into one and a good afternoon into an argument about game management that will run until Saturday.

Market18 Oct 2032

Moustapha Dabo is free to find somewhere else

“I was told straight, and I would rather have it straight.” The manager at Alavés has been clear about where Moustapha Dabo stands, which is more than many ever get.

Squad11 Oct 2032

A knee injury of the worst kind for Ignacio Reyes

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

Squad11 Oct 2032

29 days out for Izei Suárez after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Alavés will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Market11 Oct 2032

Only the photograph left for Elvio Vera

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Elvio Vera will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Alavés the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Boardroom11 Oct 2032

Elvio Vera has agreed to leave Alavés for nothing

He will play here until the summer and then walk out of the door for free, having already signed elsewhere. Supporters will manage the first part of that sentence; it is the second they will struggle with.

Squad11 Oct 2032

Tempers go at Alavés

Mikel Rodríguez 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.

Squad11 Oct 2032

Jesús Areso 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 dugout11 Oct 2032

No hiding place for Elvio Vera

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

The dugout11 Oct 2032

Marco Virtuani knocks on the manager’s door

“Thirty minutes, door closed, everything said. We shook hands after.” Whatever was in the room stayed in the room, and Marco Virtuani trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.

Looking ahead11 Oct 2032

A test against the best for Alavés

The team at the top of the table next, and the honest measure of where this side actually is. Anybody can beat the club below them; the question is what happens against Bilbao Athletic.
