Player ratings

Nobody could get near Rodrigo Bareiro

Successful dribbles: 49. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Match

PWD Bamenda punish Fauve Azur Elite for switching off

3 goals to the good, and then a slow surrender of everything that had been earned. Junior Kemajou-Dimabi will not be the one blamed for it, but nobody at Fauve Azur Elite escapes the conversation that follows a collapse like this.

Squad

A one-man rearguard from Souleman Souleman

There were 6 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.

The terraces

Supporters turn on the $40.0K sale of Joseph Tientchou

He is going to Stade Renard de Melong, the club has $40.0K it did not have on Friday, and the phone-ins have already decided how they feel about that. Selling well and selling somebody they loved are not the same skill.

Market

Jamel Zock a Zock 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 Fauve Azur Elite can pretend not to have heard.

Player ratings

A hand in 2 of them from Junior Kemajou-Dimabi — 7.85

Marked 7.85. There is a kind of forward whose value only shows up when you count what he was involved in rather than what he finished, and this is the day that argument makes itself.

Player ratings

A hand in 2 of them from Dilane Ekongolo — 7.96

Marked 7.96. There is a kind of forward whose value only shows up when you count what he was involved in rather than what he finished, and this is the day that argument makes itself.

Squad

Rodrigo Bareiro 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 Fauve Azur Elite this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Boardroom

2 academy players handed senior numbers at Fauve Azur Elite

The morning the pathway stops being a brochure and becomes a team sheet. Most of them will not be here in three years; all of them have already done the hard part, which was getting to today.

The Stade Renard de Melong Chronicle

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Market

Leonnel Ekodo Awono 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 Stade Renard de Melong, and it is not being withdrawn.

Player ratings

Up for the corner, and Aboubakar Abdou delivers — 7.62

Centre-halves are allowed forward twice a season and are judged on what they do when they get there. Aboubakar Abdou scored, was marked 7.62, and got back before anybody noticed he had gone.

Market

Joseph Tientchou is a Stade Renard de Melong player

The fee is $40.0K, the contract is signed, and the argument about whether he is worth it can begin. Fauve Azur Elite drove a hard bargain; time will say who won it.

Squad

Yannick Epané 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 Stade Renard de Melong this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Boardroom

Graduation day at Stade Renard de Melong

5 boys move up, and somewhere in the building the people who coached them at twelve are quietly having the best morning of their working year. Nothing about this shows up in a result and it is why the academy exists.

The terraces

Stade Renard de Melong spend $40.0K on the signing the town wanted

It is the rarest sequence in football: supporters ask for something, and the club goes and does it. $40.0K for Joseph Tientchou, and for one week nobody is complaining about anything.

Squad

Words at Stade Renard de Melong training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Carlain Manga Mbah 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

Collins Fai steps up from the Stade Renard de Melong academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Collins Fai has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

Market

Stade Renard de Melong promote Eric Toko-Ekambi from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Eric Toko-Ekambi has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.
