Charleroi say no — this time
The offer from Standard Liege for Parfait Guiagon 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.

Tempers go at Charleroi
Yacine Titraoui 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.

The manager makes an example of Antoine Bernier
“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Parfait Guiagon runs at them all day
Successful dribbles: 16. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Too much change too quickly at Charleroi
8 signings in three months. Every one of them may be an upgrade and the team can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild that never appears in the transfer-window verdicts.

The afternoon belonged to Aiham Ousou
7.40, and no serious argument from anybody who was there. Charleroi had eleven men on the pitch and one of them decided how it went.

Words at Charleroi training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Solal Théréau 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.

Cheick Keita shuts the door
Defensive actions: 14, and a clean sheet at the end of it. A centre-half's best afternoons look like nothing happening, which is precisely the point.
Match15 Aug 2026
No goals between Charleroi and Club Brugge
Ninety minutes, two goalkeepers with clean gloves, and not one finish worth keeping. Club Brugge will be the happier side with the point.
In brief
