Marked for Rodri

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Mikel Goti

Successful dribbles: 30. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad

Christian Carracedo 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 Córdoba this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Isma Ruiz gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Match

Leganés take the points off Córdoba

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

Player ratings

Enol Rodríguez keeps on missing

Shots: 6, 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 ratings

A day to forget for Rodri

Marked 5.72, and generously at that. Nothing came off, and by the end the crowd had stopped expecting it to.

Squad

Tempers go at Córdoba

Christian Carracedo 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.

Player ratings

Dani Requena runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 21. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Boardroom

Córdoba counting the cost

The accounts make uncomfortable reading. Wages first and ambition second is the order of business at Córdoba now.

Player ratings

Nothing got past Alberto Del Moral

Headers, blocks, tackles, interceptions — 21 of them, and not one goal behind him. The sort of performance that never makes a highlight reel and wins football matches.

Boardroom

Wages eat 313% of everything Córdoba earn

There is a figure at which a wage bill stops being ambitious and becomes the reason nothing else is possible, and this club has reached it. Nothing is left over for a transfer, a stand or a rainy afternoon.

Squad

No hiding place for Rodri

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

Squad

Is this Oriol Rosell’s last season?

“I will know when it is time. I am not there yet.” Oriol Rosell is 34, with 0 appearances behind him, and Córdoba will have to plan for whichever answer comes.

Match

Córdoba and Castellón cancel each other out

Nil-nil, and few chances worth the name. Castellón came to defend and left with exactly what they came for.

Player ratings

The one thing Enol Rodríguez could not do

Shots: 8, enough of them from close enough that a striker in form scores two. He is not a striker in form.
