Agustín Melgarejo 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 Deportivo Miranda can pretend not to have heard.
Match10 Feb 2029
Deportivo Miranda cannot stop winning
4 wins on the spin now, and the question has changed from whether the run ends to who ends it. Confidence like this cannot be bought; it has to be earned exactly this way.

A falling-out at Deportivo Miranda
Luisbert Salazar and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Deportivo Miranda rebuffed over Cristian Osorio
Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Universidad Catolica have kept their man, and Deportivo Miranda go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Franco Gindin sends Deportivo Miranda past Real Frontera
It finished 2‑1, and it was Franco Gindin’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Deportivo Miranda.

One of their own: Iñaki Ipharraguerre
He is 21 and the ground already sings his name, which is a thing that happens to local boys and almost never to signings. Everything from here is measured against an affection he did nothing to earn except be from here.
Match10 Feb 2029
Deportivo Miranda are at home on the road
3 straight away victories. Sides that win away are usually sides that can defend and can counter, and the table has begun to reflect what those journeys have earned.

Words at Deportivo Miranda training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. José Dario Ascanio 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.

Luisbert Salazar reaches 100 appearances
100 games in the shirt. Nobody sets out to build a record like that; it happens to a certain kind of player at a certain kind of club, and this town knows what it has.
