The AS Etat Major Post

From our football correspondent Crisis

Match8 Jan 2028

A hiding for AS Etat Major

Beaten 1‑5 by AS PSI, and beaten everywhere it matters. The inquest starts on the training pitch on Monday morning.

Market10 Jan 2028

Simon Ihenacho 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 AS Etat Major can pretend not to have heard.

The dugout10 Jan 2028

Narcisse Abba says AS Etat Major went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Transfer targets10 Jan 2028

The paperwork begins on Issa Djimet

A medical, a signature, a shirt held up in front of a sponsor’s board. AS Etat Major have done the hard part with Stars Jeunes Talents, and the part that remains is the part supporters actually see.

Match8 Jan 2028

The wait goes on for AS Etat Major

4 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

The dugout10 Jan 2028

Simon Ihenacho frozen out at AS Etat Major

This is not rotation. Simon Ihenacho has not been in the manager's plans for some time, and nobody at AS Etat Major is pretending otherwise.

Transfer targets10 Jan 2028

AS Etat Major bid $140.0K for Ahmat Tokindang

The offer went to US Moursal this week and it is theirs to answer. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loud the door closes.

Match8 Jan 2028

Issa Allamine among the goals in a wild afternoon

6 goals in one match, Issa Allamine on the scoresheet, and a scoreline that will look like a misprint. Neutrals could not have asked more of AS Etat Major and AS PSI.

Market10 Jan 2028

Galactik join the queue for Hassan Ndoram

Add another name to the list: Galactik have asked the question everybody in the game has been asking about Hassan Ndoram. The answer from AS Etat Major has not changed — yet.

The AS Etat Major Post

22 Nov 2027
From our football correspondent Crisis

Match20 Nov 2027

A hiding for AS Etat Major

Beaten 0‑3 by Aiglons, and beaten everywhere it matters. The inquest starts on the training pitch on Monday morning.

Squad22 Nov 2027

A row about effort at AS Etat Major

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

Boardroom22 Nov 2027

Inquest at AS Etat Major

The manager kept them in and said what needed saying. A response is expected on Saturday, and if it does not come the questions move upstairs.

The dugout22 Nov 2027

Abdoulaye Haroun faces the questions

“We were not good enough today and I am not going to dress it up.” Abdoulaye Haroun after 0‑3, in the tone of a man who knows the next question and does not intend to answer it.

The dugout22 Nov 2027

Youssouf Abba knocks on the manager’s door

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

Looking ahead22 Nov 2027

A reunion for Moussa Souleymane

He used to wear the other shirt. On Saturday he plays against Foullah Edifice in this one, and whatever he says this week about it being just another game will be untrue.

Market22 Nov 2027

The Issa Allamine question follows AS Etat Major around

Every press conference now starts and ends the same way: with Issa Allamine’s future. The manager has run out of new ways to say nothing.

Player ratings22 Nov 2027

Nobody could get near Issa Youssouf

Successful dribbles: 10. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

The dugout22 Nov 2027

No place in the plan for James Yeboah

The manager wanted a different profile for this opponent, which is a real football reason and no consolation. He did nothing wrong and he did not play.
