The Gijón Herald
Match16 Sep 2026
The small margins put Gijón out
Out, 0‑1 to Cultural Leonesa, and the long argument about which of the small moments decided it. The league is all there is now, and everybody knows it.
The terraces21 Sep 2026
The boos come down from three sides
“We pay for this every fortnight. The least we want is somebody who looks like he cares.” 8 of the 25 senior players walked off into it; the rest were not playing.
Market21 Sep 2026
Guille Rosas 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 Gijón hears a sentence like that exactly as it was built.

César Gelabert 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 Gijón this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.
Squad21 Sep 2026
Real improvement from Andrés Cuenca at Gijón
Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Andrés Cuenca is 19, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Camilo Salamanca gets the move he always wanted
Footballers are asked about their boyhood club so often that nobody listens to the answer. Camilo Salamanca has just signed for Gijón, and for once the answer mattered.
Squad21 Sep 2026
Jonathan Dubasin falls out with a teammate over standards
The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.
Player ratings21 Sep 2026
A masterclass from Lucas Perrin
Marked 8.18 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.
Boardroom21 Sep 2026
Nobody left the Gijón dressing room in a hurry
The door stayed shut a long time after the final whistle. What was said in there is between them; whether it worked is between them and Saturday.
