Player ratings

Nobody could get near Saagui Dzenyagha

Successful dribbles: 46. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad

59 days out for Ulrich Mpek after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Dynamo Douala will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Squad

Joseph Alexandre Ndé 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 Dynamo Douala this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

The dugout

Samuel Fai: “We have to be better”

“It is not the end of the world and it is not good enough. Both of those are true.” The manager, after a 0‑0 draw, said the honest thing and then went to say it again inside.

Match

No goals between Dynamo Douala and Panthere du Nde

Ninety minutes, two goalkeepers with clean gloves, and not one finish worth keeping. Panthere du Nde will be the happier side with the point.

Market

The Jules Armand Kooh story refuses to die

It has been denied twice and printed three times, which is the usual arithmetic. Until Jules Armand Kooh signs something — a contract at Dynamo Douala or anywhere else — this column belongs to him.

The dugout

Yann Ntomba gets picked when it counts

Every manager keeps a short list in his head of the men he wants on the pitch when the stakes rise, and it is never published. The team sheets for the big afternoons say Yann Ntomba is on it.

The dugout

No place in the plan for Pierre Ikong

The manager wanted a different profile for this opponent, which is a real football reason and no consolation. He did nothing wrong and he did not play.

Squad

The room hears from Jules Armand Kooh

“Nobody outside is coming to save us.” It was short, it was not comfortable, and by all accounts the Dynamo Douala squad were quieter afterwards than they had been all season.

Squad

Pierre Oyongo damages knee ligaments — 15 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 15 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Squad

Real improvement from Arnauvy Mombouli at Dynamo Douala

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Arnauvy Mombouli is 22, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Squad

Vittel Feumi Yanou 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 Dynamo Douala this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match

A bad afternoon for Dynamo Douala against Victoria United

1‑2 to Victoria United, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Player ratings

Saagui Dzenyagha beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 19. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Squad

Dynamo Douala count the cost of losing Carl Zanga

39 days, the scan says, and scans are kinder than reality. The fixtures in that window have just become somebody else’s job.

The dugout

The view from the dugout

“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 Samuel Fai to a room that had heard them before.

The dugout

No hiding place for Junior Nemi

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

Market

The Jules Armand Kooh story refuses to die

It has been denied twice and printed three times, which is the usual arithmetic. Until Jules Armand Kooh signs something — a contract at Dynamo Douala or anywhere else — this column belongs to him.

From our football correspondent Triumph

Match

Dynamo Douala win it in stoppage time

The board had gone up, the arguing had started, and then the ball was in the net in the 93th minute. Colombe du Dja et Lobo will replay every second of the added time for a week.

Player ratings

A brace, and Vittel Feumi Yanou takes the afternoon — 8.82

There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Vittel Feumi Yanou provided it, and the 8.82 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

Squad

A one-man rearguard from Manuel Maurice Nkoulou

There were 7 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Market

Rudolph Heumen Yonkeu puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Dynamo Douala, and it is not being withdrawn.

Boardroom

Dynamo Douala close the window on a squad of their own making

12 in and 0 out, and no more changes for months. The manager has what he has, the supporters have their opinion of it, and the table will have the last word.

Squad

The step up is real for Junior Nemi

At 19 he is doing things this season that he could not do last season, and doing them every week. Form comes and goes; this has stayed long enough to be called something else.

Transfer targets

Dynamo Douala rebuffed over Divine Onourah

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Kun Khalifat have kept their man, and Dynamo Douala go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Match

Vittel Feumi Yanou sends Dynamo Douala past Colombe du Dja et Lobo

It finished 2‑1, and it was Vittel Feumi Yanou’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Dynamo Douala.

Squad

Words at Dynamo Douala training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Arnauvy Mombouli 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.

Market

Junior Nemi hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Dynamo Douala can pretend not to have heard.

Market

Dynamo Douala say no — this time

The offer from Aigle Royal de Moungo for Cedric Mongo was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Squad

Franck Talla 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.

Transfer targets

Door shut on Olamilekan Adedayo

Dynamo Douala asked and Remo Stars said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Squad

A falling-out at Dynamo Douala

Joseph Alexandre Ndé and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Transfer targets

Dynamo Douala try to borrow Miracle Ukadike

Warri Wolves have been asked whether they would lend him. Loans are agreed quickly or not at all, and this one will be one or the other by the weekend.

Transfer targets

A loan move for Kamaldeen Annan is in the works

Dynamo Douala have made the call to Liberty Professionals. No fee, a share of the wages, and a spare shirt in the position where the squad has been thinnest all season.

Looking ahead

Dynamo Douala host Colombe du Dja et Lobo

Next up at home: Colombe du Dja et Lobo, who go into it in position 10. The kind of fixture a season is quietly built on or quietly loses its shape in.

Squad

The training reports on Rudolph Heumen Yonkeu are not good

A bad Saturday is forgiven; a bad Tuesday is chosen. Standards have slipped and in a building where everybody watches everybody, it has been noticed.

In brief
