Adrien Saussez keeps Olympic Charleroi in it on his own
Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 6 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Antonio Théa keeps the receipts
“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Olympic Charleroi may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Myung-jun Kim 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.

A falling-out at Olympic Charleroi
Myung-jun Kim and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Indy Boonen’s goal not enough for Olympic Charleroi
Indy Boonen scored, and precious little else went right: 1‑2 to Eupen, and a quiet walk to the dressing room.

“We will look at it, we will learn from it, and we go again.” The three sentences every manager keeps for a 1‑2 defeat, delivered by Dries Doku to a room that had heard them before.

A promise honoured at Olympic Charleroi
Something was said to Myung-jun Kim and then it happened. In this industry that passes for remarkable, and the dressing room noticed faster than any supporter could.
