Market

Nicolas Borodine 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 The request is on a desk at AC Ajaccio, and it is not being withdrawn.

Market

Only the photograph left for Jean-David Uras

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Jean-David Uras will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around AC Ajaccio the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Squad

Marcus Bettinelli 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 AC Ajaccio this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Transfer targets

AC Ajaccio rebuffed over Patrick Ciurria

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

The dugout

No hiding place for Stefan Bajić

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

Squad

8 new faces, and AC Ajaccio are still learning each other

A squad rebuilt inside one window pays for it in a currency nobody budgets for. The football is not worse than the sum of the players; it is worse than the sum of the players who have played together before.

The dugout

When it matters, Paris Brunner plays

It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.

Squad

The formation has left Matéo Beaslas behind

Every shape has positions in it and this one does not have his. AC Ajaccio will either change the shape, change his job, or change his club, and he is waiting to hear which.

Squad

Paris Brunner, 20, is the weekend’s best young player

Measured against every other kid in the division and first among them. The senior award is where AC Ajaccio would like this to lead.

Player ratings

Paris Brunner, 20, steals the show — 7.84

Marked 7.84 at 20, in a side that makes no allowances for age. He did not need any, and he looked the least nervous man on the pitch.

Market

Jean-David Uras 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 The request is on a desk at AC Ajaccio, and it is not being withdrawn.

Transfer targets

No thanks: Vincent Gérard rejects the move

AC Ajaccio had done everything except persuade the man himself. He stays at Tours, and the manager goes back to the drawing board with the money still in the bank.

Squad

Tempers go at AC Ajaccio

Marcus Bettinelli 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.

Squad

A move Matéo Beaslas would have made for nothing

There is a version of every career where the player ends up somewhere he chose rather than somewhere that chose him. Matéo Beaslas is living that version at AC Ajaccio, and it tends to show in the first month.

Transfer targets

Venezia tell AC Ajaccio: Alfred Duncan 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.

The terraces

AC Ajaccio supporters have found a favourite in Paris Brunner

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 20-year-old it feels ownership of. Paris Brunner has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

Match

AC Ajaccio get the job done against Nimes

A 1‑0 win over Nimes, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Édouard Fabre

Successful dribbles: 18. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.
