Match

Still nobody has beaten Deportivo La Coruña

The unbeaten run reaches 12. Some of them were wins and some were escapes, but a side that refuses to lose is a side other dressing rooms talk about.

The dugout

Juan Ignacio Barbieri says Deportivo La Coruña 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.

Player ratings

Vintage Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang — 7.84

At 38 every good afternoon gets called a throwback, and this one was: 7.84, and nobody on the pitch better.

Match

Deportivo La Coruña make home a hard place to visit

12 without defeat on their own grass. The pitch has not changed; the crowd has — louder earlier, and quicker to sense when the opposition would rather be somewhere else.

Player ratings

Lorenzo Amatucci goes up and wins it — 7.89

A defender on the scoresheet, which happens rarely enough that everybody in the ground remembers who took the corner. 1 for him, and a mark of 7.89 for the rest of it.

Match

Deportivo La Coruña find a way past Levante

Levante made Deportivo La Coruña work for it, but the scoreboard read 2‑1 at the end and the table does not ask how.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Yeremay

Successful dribbles: 19. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Arnau Comas

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Squad

Deportivo La Coruña lose Daniel Martínez

26 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.

Market

Juan Ignacio Barbieri puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Deportivo La Coruña, and it is not being withdrawn.

Transfer targets

Deportivo La Coruña agree $1.6M for Tobías Donsanti

The clubs have shaken hands with Tenerife; the player has not yet. Personal terms are next, and personal terms are where more deals die than anybody prints.

Market

Deportivo La Coruña turn down Guadalajara for Teun Gijselhart

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Transfer targets

Adam Bareiro is a medical away from Deportivo La Coruña

The deal with Boca Juniors is done in every sense but the one that puts him on the pitch. Nothing goes wrong at this stage, except on the occasions when it does.

Transfer targets

Door shut on Antony

Deportivo La Coruña asked and Real Madrid said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Market

Espanyol join the queue for Gonzalo Aquilino

Add another name to the list: Espanyol have asked the question everybody in the game has been asking about Gonzalo Aquilino. The answer from Deportivo La Coruña has not changed — yet.

Market

Daniel Martínez steps up from the Deportivo La Coruña academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Daniel Martínez has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

Squad

Gian Nardelli signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Gian Nardelli commits to Deportivo La Coruña for another 4 years.

Loan watch

11 goals on loan for Ulises Delgado

24 appearances at All Boys and the goals keep coming. Deportivo La Coruña are watching this more closely than the borrowing club would like.
