The Tarazona Courier

Ivan Guzmán breaks a bone — 37 days out
Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 37 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Amigo asks to leave Tarazona
“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.

David Cubillas, 36, rolls back the years — 7.80
There is an age at which every good afternoon gets described as a throwback, which is unfair and also accurate. 7.80 at 36, and nobody on the pitch was better.

Josele: 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.” Tarazona have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

The paperwork begins on Jonathan Asp-Jensen
A medical, a signature, a shirt held up in front of a sponsor’s board. Tarazona have done the hard part with Deportivo La Coruña, and the part that remains is the part supporters actually see.
Match9 Jan 2027
7 unbeaten for Tarazona
Hard to beat is not the same as winning, but 7 matches without defeat is a foundation Tarazona did not have in the autumn.

Álvaro Jiménez 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 Tarazona this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

The step up is real for Mario Rivas
At 19 he is doing things this season that he could not do last season, and doing them every week. Form comes and goes; this has stayed long enough to be called something else.

Tarazona rebuffed over Nico Serrano
Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Athletic Bilbao have kept their man, and Tarazona go back to a list with one name crossed off it.
In brief
