The Alavés Sentinel
Match21 Aug 2027
Endrick leads the rout of Real Sociedad
3‑0, and Endrick took the headlines on an afternoon when everything Alavés tried came off. Days like this are retold all winter.
Player ratings23 Aug 2027
Endrick scores twice — 9.44
Two goals and a mark of 9.44 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.
The dugout23 Aug 2027
Ezequiel Ávila says Alavés went back on their word
“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.
Market23 Aug 2027
Alavés get their man
The chase for Luis López ended with $2.0M changing hands and Eibar out of reasons to say no. The supporters will judge the fee the only way that matters: on Saturdays.
Boardroom23 Aug 2027
Graduation day at Alavés
5 boys move up, and somewhere in the building the people who coached them at twelve are quietly having the best morning of their working year. Nothing about this shows up in a result and it is why the academy exists.
Transfer targets23 Aug 2027
Alavés rebuffed over Mouctar Diakhaby
Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Barcelona have kept their man, and Alavés go back to a list with one name crossed off it.
The terraces23 Aug 2027
One of their own: Endrick
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.
Market23 Aug 2027
One of our own: Víctor Méndez joins the Alavés first team
Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Víctor Méndez is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.
Market23 Aug 2027
Alavés promote Ignacio Camacho from within
The academy exists for exactly this morning. Ignacio Camacho has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.
