31 points, and a fixture list that is running out. The mathematics are not yet cruel, but they are no longer kind.

Théo Tedeschi puts it in writing

Beres Owusu turns down Bourg-Peronnas

“Thirty minutes, door closed, everything said. We shook hands after.” Whatever was in the room stayed in the room, and Benjamin Bešić trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.
