Match

Nobody wants to play MC Alger right now

3 wins in a row changes how opponents warm up: quieter, more glances across. Runs end, everybody knows that — but nobody in this dressing room is planning for it.

Squad

Tempers go at MC Alger

Mohamed Zoungrana 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

Sid Ahmed Aissaoui is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 21 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.

Player ratings

One of those days for Ayoub Ghezala

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.83, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Squad

No hiding place for Hlompho Dala

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

Match

MC Alger see off Olympique Akbou

Three points for MC Alger, 1‑0 the final word against Olympique Akbou in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Squad

Words at MC Alger training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Nicolas Nkoulou 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.

Loan watch

Moslem Anatouf wants to come home

“I did not go to ASO Chlef to sit and watch. I want to come back to MC Alger and fight for my place.” 3 appearances in 10 matches say the rest.

Player ratings

Ayoub Abdellaoui was immovable

16 times he got in the way of something. Centre-halves get written about when they make mistakes and ignored when they do not, so an afternoon like this needs saying out loud: he is the reason the scoreline reads as it does.

Match

Ayoub Ghezala breaks ASO Chlef hearts

Some goals win a match and some take one off somebody else. Ayoub Ghezala scored in the 89th minute, ASO Chlef had already begun thinking about the journey home, and MC Alger took the lot.

Match

MC Alger make it 3 in a row

Momentum is a hard thing to buy and an easy thing to lose, and right now MC Alger have 3 straight wins of it.

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.

Match

Ayoub Ghezala the difference as MC Alger beat ASO Chlef

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Ayoub Ghezala. 2‑1 against ASO Chlef, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

Player ratings

Zinedine Ferhat runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 19. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Player ratings

Ayoub Ghezala was on a different afternoon to everybody else

8.34. There are performances a supporter describes to somebody who was not there and cannot quite convey; this was one, and the number does not help either.

Squad

Oussama Benhaoua has improved at 24, which nobody expected

Careers are supposed to plateau and then decline, and the players who ignore that are always the ones who were listening on the training ground. 3 points of it, over months, at an age where the direction normally only goes one way.
