Player ratings

Sebas Moyano runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 29. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad

Pablo Insua 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 Zaragoza this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

A muscle injury sidelines Valery for 16 days

Nobody makes a documentary about a hamstring and everybody in the game fears one. Zaragoza will be careful with the return date, because the second one is always worse than the first.

Match

Zaragoza come up short against Cádiz

Cádiz left with the points after a 0‑2 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Yussif Saidu

“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.

Loan watch

Samed Baždar keeps scoring at Jagiellonia

14 appearances away from home and 6 goals to show for them. Every one of them makes next summer's conversation a little more expensive.

Squad

Adrián Liso stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Adrián Liso and Zaragoza agree another 5 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad

Pablo Insua 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 Zaragoza this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

No hiding place for Valery

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

Market

Zaragoza and Jaouad El Yamiq are talking past each other

“There is a gap, and pretending there is not helps nobody.” Neither side has moved, and the calendar is working for exactly one of them.

Squad

Adrián Liso 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 Adrián Liso trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.

Market

The clock runs on Raúl Guti's contract

48 months left and silence from upstairs — no offer, no talks, nothing for his people to answer. Clubs that let a calendar do their negotiating usually end up negotiating with the calendar.
