Market14 Sep 2026

Sergio Arribas wants more than Almería are offering

“I have ambitions, and I would like the club to share them.” Nobody has asked to leave and nobody has been shown the door — but a player chooses that sentence carefully, and a boardroom hears it exactly as it was meant.

Squad14 Sep 2026

Hugo Mallo 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.

Squad14 Sep 2026

Jon Morcillo 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 Almería this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad14 Sep 2026

The manager makes an example of Jorge Pulido

“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.

Jon Morcillo was the difference for Almería

Marked 7.75. Ask anyone leaving the ground what settled it and you will get one name, which is the only award that has ever really counted.

Match12 Sep 2026

Honours even between Almería and Eibar

1‑1, and both dressing rooms will call it two points lost. A draw that asked plenty of questions and answered none of them.

Squad14 Sep 2026

Almería pick somebody else ahead of André Horta

There is no complaint available here and everybody involved knows it, which does not make the walk to the bench any shorter. Form is the only currency in football that cannot be borrowed against.

Player ratings14 Sep 2026

Miguel De la Fuente runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 9. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Player ratings14 Sep 2026

Adrián Embarba ran the game

Chances created: 6. Not on the scoresheet and not remotely anonymous — a passing performance that pulled a defence apart without leaving a mark on the column that gets read.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Tempers go at Almería

Dion Lopy 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.

Boardroom17 Aug 2026

Graduation day at Almería

2 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.

Squad17 Aug 2026

The manager makes an example of Daijiro Chirino

“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.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Almería lose Nélson Monte

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

Market17 Aug 2026

Almería promote Daniel Rey from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Daniel Rey 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.

Market17 Aug 2026

Almería promote Julen Rojas from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Julen Rojas 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.
