Marked for Daniel Castro

From our football correspondent Steady

Squad6 Apr 2043

Jan Hidalgo is in the form of his life

A season average of 7.46 with 32 goals behind it. Opponents have started planning around him, which is the sincerest compliment football pays.

Squad6 Apr 2043

A fracture rules Tommaso Gasperini out for 51 days

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

Player ratings6 Apr 2043

Both of them Jan Hidalgo's — 8.75

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.75, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Squad6 Apr 2043

10 seasons of Daniel Castro

127 appearances across 10 seasons in these colours. Careers like that are not built any more, and Elche know what they have.

Squad6 Apr 2043

Federico Redondo signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Federico Redondo commits to Elche for another 2 years.

Player ratings6 Apr 2043

The game went through Ali Houary — 6.91

Marked 6.91 on 13 actions at both ends of the pitch. Midfielders like this get described as unspectacular by people who have never tried to play against one.

Match10 May 2042

Elche run riot against Cádiz

4‑1, and the margin flattered nobody — it could have carried another goal or two without complaint. Afternoons like this are why people keep coming.

Player ratings12 May 2042

Jan Hidalgo scores twice — 9.10

Two goals and a mark of 9.10 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Squad12 May 2042

Alejandro Iturbe keeps Elche in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 6 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Market12 May 2042

Alberto Caballero has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Elche they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Squad12 May 2042

Daniel Castro: 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.” Elche have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Squad12 May 2042

Tempers go at Elche

Alejandro Iturbe 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.

Player ratings12 May 2042

Nobody could get near Jesús Lorenzo

Successful dribbles: 24. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad12 May 2042

Rúben Furtado 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 May 2042

Ninety minutes of Julen Ortega at his very best

Marked 8.15. Players have careers without a single afternoon like this in them, and he has just had one in front of everybody at Elche.
