From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad

Ayoub Abdellaoui breaks a bone — 29 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 29 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Match

No end in sight to MC Alger's wait for a win

8 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at MC Alger has to find a result from somewhere.

Match

Still nobody has beaten MC Alger

The unbeaten run reaches 9. Some of them were wins and some were escapes, but a side that refuses to lose is a side other dressing rooms talk about.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Zakaria Naïdji

Successful dribbles: 24. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad

Zinedine Ferhat 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 MC Alger this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

MC Alger keep their word to Mathieu Patouillet

Clubs make promises constantly and the page usually only hears about them when they are broken. This one was honoured, and the dressing room noticed that faster than any supporter did.

Match

Honours even between MC Alger and MC Oran

1‑1, and both dressing rooms will call it two points lost. A draw that asked plenty of questions and answered none of them.

Squad

Geovane Maranhão 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 ratings

A day to forget for Mohamed Zoungrana

Marked 4.51, and generously at that. Nothing came off, and by the end the crowd had stopped expecting it to.

Player ratings

Zinedine Ferhat runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 43. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad

Ayoub Abdellaoui breaks a bone — 64 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 64 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Squad

Tempers go at MC Alger

Zinedine Ferhat 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.

Match

The goals have deserted MC Alger

3 matches, no goals, and a training ground that has tried everything. It will end — droughts always do — but nobody at MC Alger can tell you which week it ends in.

Squad

Words at MC Alger training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Marco Antonio Bueno is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Squad

Geovane Maranhão wants to go home

“I have given this everything, but my family is not here and neither am I, not really.” A footballer can be coached out of bad form. Nobody has ever been coached out of this, and MC Alger know it.

Player ratings

Mehdi Boucherit runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 50. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad

A fracture rules Ayoub Abdellaoui out for 79 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason MC Alger will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Match

MC Alger march on in the cup

MC El Bayadh are out and MC Alger go through, 3‑1 the final word. The bracket opens up a little, and everyone allows themselves a look at it.

Player ratings

Sid Ahmed Aissaoui, 21, plays like he has been here for years — 7.64

A mark of 7.64 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 21-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.

Player ratings

Age has not caught Geovane Maranhão yet — 7.88

At 37 he is supposed to be managing his minutes. Instead he was marked 7.88 and looked, for ninety minutes, exactly like the player everybody remembers.

Squad

Tempers go at MC Alger

Zinedine Ferhat 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.

Squad

Rami Bouaouiche is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 20 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.

Squad

Zakaria Naïdji 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.

The terraces

MC Alger supporters have found a favourite in Mohamed Saliou Bangoura

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 22-year-old it feels ownership of. Mohamed Saliou Bangoura has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.
