Marked for Daniel Morris

Squad19 Jul 2038

Tempers go at Rayo Vallecano

Álex Cardero 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.

Real improvement from Daniel Morris at Rayo Vallecano

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Daniel Morris is 19, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Squad19 Jul 2038

Words at Rayo Vallecano training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Peru Rodríguez 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.

Squad3 May 2038

Jaime Gutiérrez damages knee ligaments — 33 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 33 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Player ratings3 May 2038

A debut Daniel Morris will not forget — 7.37

There is exactly one of these per career and it does not usually go like this. 0 on the scoresheet, 7.37 beside the name, and a crowd that had never seen him before chanting it by the end.

Squad3 May 2038

Fran Pérez has been here 12 seasons

547 appearances across 12 seasons in one shirt. Nobody builds a career like that on purpose any more; it happens to a certain kind of footballer at a certain kind of club.

Squad3 May 2038

Defences have started doubling up on Emanuele Rao

12 goals and a season average of 7.56 will do that. The space he used to find has gone; he keeps scoring anyway, which is the mark of the real thing.

Squad3 May 2038

Tempers go at Rayo Vallecano

Álex Cardero 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.

Match1 May 2038

Las Palmas take the points off Rayo Vallecano

Beaten 0‑2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Player ratings3 May 2038

The chances came and went for Roger Ibañez

17 shots, and a count that reads like a good afternoon until you check the other column. Strikers survive weeks like this on the understanding that the chances keep arriving; the day they stop is the day it becomes a problem.

Player ratings3 May 2038

Andrés Sánchez keeps on missing

Shots: 14, not one of them in. A centre forward is paid for one thing, and on this evidence he has forgotten which thing it is.

Player ratings3 May 2038

The one thing Enzo Molina could not do

Shots: 14, enough of them from close enough that a striker in form scores two. He is not a striker in form.

Squad24 Aug 2037

Francesco Lattisi damages knee ligaments — 77 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 77 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Player ratings24 Aug 2037

Both of them Emanuele Rao's — 8.87

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.87, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Match22 Aug 2037

Another one collected away from home

7 on the bounce on the road for Rayo Vallecano. The coaches leave early, arrive at unlovely grounds in the dark, and keep coming home with three points.

Squad24 Aug 2037

Augusto Batalla keeps Rayo Vallecano 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.

Squad24 Aug 2037

Roger Ibañez in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Rayo Vallecano this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Market24 Aug 2037

Nicolás Carrasco 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 Rayo Vallecano, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad24 Aug 2037

The manager makes an example of Roger Ibañez

“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.

Match22 Aug 2037

Rayo Vallecano come up short against Real Madrid

Real Madrid left with the points after a 2‑3 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Boardroom24 Aug 2037

Diego Rodríguez will join Rayo Vallecano for nothing

The paperwork is done long before the player is. Diego Rodríguez has agreed terms to come here when his current deal runs out, which means Rayo Vallecano have spent a summer's transfer budget on a phone call.
