Sofiane Abdellaoui puts it in writing

Tempers go at MC El Bayadh
Ignacio Ten López 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.

Graduation day at MC El Bayadh
1 boys move up, and somewhere in the building the people who coached them at twelve are quietly having the best morning of their working year. Nothing about this shows up in a result and it is why the academy exists.

0‑1 to CS Constantine, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

MC El Bayadh turn down the training-ground plan
It is the quietest way a club tells you what its ambitions are. The money was asked for, the money was refused, and the people who work there every day now know exactly where they stand.
