Squad8 Aug 2033

Mohamed Saliou Bangoura 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.

Match8 Aug 2033

MC Alger up to position 1

71 points on the board and a place in the leading group. Nobody at the ground is saying the word out loud yet.

Squad8 Aug 2033

Amidou Traoré says MC Alger went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Squad8 Aug 2033

Alexis Guendouz 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.

Words at MC Alger training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Mohamed Abdelmonem 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.

Amine Messoussa raises the bar for MC Alger

“I want to be playing for trophies while my legs still let me.” Nothing in that sentence is a transfer request, and nobody at MC Alger heard it as anything else.

Mohamed Zoungrana 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.

Mohamed Abdelmonem 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.

Match8 Jan 2033

Mohamed Saliou Bangoura leads the rout of USM Alger

3‑0, and Mohamed Saliou Bangoura took the headlines on an afternoon when everything MC Alger tried came off. Days like this are retold all winter.

Player ratings10 Jan 2033

Both of them Mohamed Saliou Bangoura's — 8.31

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.31, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Player ratings10 Jan 2033

Kipré Zunon, 33, rolls back the years — 8.67

There is an age at which every good afternoon gets described as a throwback, which is unfair and also accurate. 8.67 at 33, and nobody on the pitch was better.

MC El Bayadh come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and MC Alger did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Moncef Bisker keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” MC Alger may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Amidou Traoré signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Amidou Traoré and MC Alger agree another 4 years.

Player ratings10 Jan 2033

Mohamed Abdelmonem shuts the door

Defensive actions: 17, and a clean sheet at the end of it. A centre-half's best afternoons look like nothing happening, which is precisely the point.
