Player ratings

David Mella runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 47. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad

Ximo Navarro 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.

Market

Adrià Altimira raises the bar for Deportivo La Coruña

“I want to be playing for trophies while my legs still let me.” Nothing in that sentence is a transfer request, and nobody at Deportivo La Coruña heard it as anything else.

Match

4 matches without a win for Deportivo La Coruña

The run now stands at 4, and the questions being asked around Deportivo La Coruña are no longer polite ones.

Squad

Luca Zidane 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 Deportivo La Coruña this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

No hiding place for Adrià Altimira

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Adrià Altimira, and the manager let it.

Squad

Words at Deportivo La Coruña training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Giacomo Quagliata 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.

Boardroom

Deportivo La Coruña release $17.3M for the manager

The board have put money on the table rather than an encouraging word. What happens to it now is somebody else's problem, and somebody else's job.

Player ratings

Yeremay stands above it all

Some games turn on a moment; this one turned on a man. 7.50 on the card, and the Deportivo La Coruña support went home talking about one name.

Squad

A knee injury of the worst kind for Riki

83 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Deportivo La Coruña lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Market

Ximo Navarro 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 The request is on a desk at Deportivo La Coruña, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad

Luca Zidane 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 Deportivo La Coruña this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Market

Deportivo La Coruña say no — this time

The offer from Granada for Eric Puerto was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Squad

Mario Soriano 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 Deportivo La Coruña this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Words at Deportivo La Coruña training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang 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.

Market

Leo Román raises the bar for Deportivo La Coruña

“I want to be playing for trophies while my legs still let me.” Nothing in that sentence is a transfer request, and nobody at Deportivo La Coruña heard it as anything else.

Squad

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang commits to Deportivo La Coruña for another 2 years.

Squad

Leo Román 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 Deportivo La Coruña this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Words at Deportivo La Coruña training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Dani Barcia 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.

Market

No place for Charlie Patiño in the plan

“The manager did not use many words, and he did not need to.” Charlie Patiño has his answer from Deportivo La Coruña; what he does with it is the next window’s story.

Squad

Leo Román knocks on the manager’s door

“Thirty minutes, door closed, everything said. We shook hands after.” Whatever was in the room stayed in the room, and Leo Román trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.
