Player ratings

Aimen Mahious scores twice — 9.01

Two goals and a mark of 9.01 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Match

JS Kabylie up to position 3

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

Match

JS Kabylie see off ES Ben Aknoun

Three points for JS Kabylie, 2‑0 the final word against ES Ben Aknoun in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Squad

Words exchanged at JS Kabylie

Mostapha Rezkallah Bott and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Player ratings

Abdennour Iheb Belhocini beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 16. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Loan watch

Islam Eddine Slimane Tichtich counts the days

“I watch every JS Kabylie game from here. That says everything about where my head is.” The loan at USM Khenchela runs its course, but his heart never made the trip.

The dugout

A satisfied Said Ghoulam

“The players deserve the credit. My job was easy today.” It was not, and everybody in the room knew it; after 2‑0, Said Ghoulam could afford to be generous.

Squad

A row about effort at JS Kabylie

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Koceila Ait Idir was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

The dugout

Aimen Lahmeri gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Transfer targets

Al-Fayha tell JS Kabylie: Fashion Sakala is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Squad

Ryad Boudebouz signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Ryad Boudebouz commits to JS Kabylie for another 2 years.

Squad

Words exchanged at JS Kabylie

Aly Abeid and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Market

Seif Benrabah attracts admirers

The name of Seif Benrabah has come up in conversations JS Kabylie were not part of. Nothing formal, nothing signed — but nothing about it accidental either.

Market

JS Kabylie and Ryad Boudebouz are talking past each other

“There is a gap, and pretending there is not helps nobody.” Neither side has moved, and the calendar is working for exactly one of them.

Market

49 months and counting on Billal Messaoudi

Still no offer on the table, and Billal Messaoudi’s deal keeps shrinking. In boardroom language, silence this long stops being an oversight and starts being an answer.

Transfer targets

A loan move for Théo Le Bris is in the works

JS Kabylie have made the call to FC Lorient. No fee, a share of the wages, and a spare shirt in the position where the squad has been thinnest all season.

The dugout

Aimen Mahious knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at JS Kabylie, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Squad

Words at JS Kabylie training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Koceila Ait Idir 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.
