The dugout

Pirulo: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Getafe have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Market

Borja Mayoral wants European nights

The general version of this complaint is that a player wants more. The specific version names the thing: he wants to walk out under floodlights against clubs from other countries, and he has stopped pretending otherwise.

Squad

Tempers go at Getafe

Nemanja Gudelj 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.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Manuel Torres

“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.

Market

Jiří Letáček told to find a new club

“They were honest with me, and I would rather know.” Jiří Letáček has been informed he is not in the manager's thinking at Getafe.

The dugout

Mario Martín asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

The dugout

Orel Mangala has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Getafe will say this on the record and the team sheets have been saying it for weeks. There is a small group in every squad who get picked when the fixture is difficult, and he has joined it.

Looking ahead

A reunion for Juanmi

He used to wear the other shirt. On Saturday he plays against Betis in this one, and whatever he says this week about it being just another game will be untrue.

Market

Enes Ünal linked with a move away

The name of Enes Ünal keeps appearing in other people's back pages. Getafe say nothing, which says plenty.

Match

Kiko Femenía sends Getafe through

Cup ties wait for somebody to seize them, and Kiko Femenía obliged against Sabadell. 3‑0 on the night, and the name in the next round’s hat is Getafe.

Match

Getafe leave it late against Oviedo

Ninety minutes of very little, and then everything at once. The winner arrived in the 86th, and Oviedo spent what remained of the match appealing to the referee rather than chasing the ball.

Market

Abdelkabir Abqar 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 Getafe, and it is not being withdrawn.

Player ratings

Kiko Femenía, 35, rolls back the years — 8.27

There is an age at which every good afternoon gets described as a throwback, which is unfair and also accurate. 8.27 at 35, and nobody on the pitch was better.

Squad

Johan Mojica 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 Getafe this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Market

Enes Ünal has his eye on Europe

It is not a grievance and it is not a demand: he wants to play continental football, and he has stopped hiding it. Whether Getafe can give him that is a question about the club, not about him.

The terraces

Getafe supporters have found a favourite in Andrés García

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 23-year-old it feels ownership of. Andrés García has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

Match

Enes Ünal sends Getafe past Oviedo

It finished 1‑0, and it was Enes Ünal’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Getafe.

Player ratings

Andrés García in the eights

A performance of 8.10 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

In brief

  • Player ratings Iván Azón was unplayable
  • Player ratings Nobody on the pitch touched Enes Ünal
  • Market Juanmi is free to find somewhere else

From our football correspondent Crisis

Market

Juanmi asks to leave Getafe

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Transfer targets

Rosario Central tell Getafe: Juan Giménez is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Market

Djéné Dakonam wants to know where this is going

“I want to win things, and I would like to do it here.” Nothing has been demanded and nothing has been threatened — but a boardroom at Getafe hears a sentence like that exactly as it was built.

Squad

Abdelkabir Abqar 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 Getafe this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match

Getafe cannot find the net

3 games without scoring. Strikers stop looking up, midfielders take the extra touch, and every shot that clears the bar is followed by a groan that has been building since the last goal.

The dugout

No hiding place for David Soria

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

Match

Espanyol take the points off Getafe

Beaten 0‑1, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

The dugout

Luken Martínez answers for it

“The supporters are entitled to be angry. So am I. We will put it right.” 0‑1, a manager saying the necessary things, and a dressing room that heard a different version of them.

Squad

David Soria has had enough of the noise

The ambition story running backwards, and the one nobody tells: a footballer who wants a smaller ground, fewer cameras and a crowd that does not turn. It is not weakness and it is rarely reported as anything else.

In brief
