Match

Whatever happens, AS Etat Major do not lose

11 games unbeaten now. Some were earned and some were survived, but a habit is forming — and habits are the hardest thing in football to play against.

Match

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.

Market

Brahim Doungous is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at AS Etat Major is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Squad

A row about effort at AS Etat Major

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

Squad

Tempers go at AS Etat Major

Oumar Hissein 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.

Match

Late, late show earns AS Etat Major a point

Minute 90, against Stars Jeunes Talents, and a goal that felt like a win to everybody who had stayed. It was a draw. Nobody leaving the ground will describe it as one.

Player ratings

Djibrine Djimet beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 17. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

The dugout

Oumar Hissein gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Match

Honours even between AS Etat Major and Stars Jeunes Talents

1‑1, and both dressing rooms will call it two points lost. A draw that asked plenty of questions and answered none of them.

In brief

  • The dugout The manager’s verdict
  • The dugout Idriss Djimet dropped after a run of poor form
  • Squad A first team debut at 17 for Narcisse Abakar
Back issues

From our football correspondent Steady

Squad

Narcisse Abakar breaks a bone — 14 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 14 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Player ratings

Both of them Djibrine Djimet's — 8.53

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.53, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Player ratings

No sign of nerves from Moussa Doungous at 21 — 7.79

The hardest thing about being 21 in a senior side is that nobody makes allowances. Moussa Doungous did not need any: 7.79, and he looked the most comfortable man on the pitch.

Market

Brahim Abba 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.

Market

Only the photograph left for Brahim Doungous

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Brahim Doungous will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around AS Etat Major the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Match

7 unbeaten for AS Etat Major

Hard to beat is not the same as winning, but 7 matches without defeat is a foundation AS Etat Major did not have in the autumn.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Ezechiel Youssouf

Successful dribbles: 22. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad

Tempers go at AS Etat Major

Djibrine Djimet 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.

Match

Djibrine Djimet the difference as AS Etat Major beat Foullah Edifice

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Djibrine Djimet. 3‑1 against Foullah Edifice, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

From our football correspondent Steady

Squad

Narcisse Abakar breaks a bone — 28 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 28 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Market

Brahim Mahamat 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.

Market

Issa Tokindang has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around AS Etat Major they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Squad

A row about effort at AS Etat Major

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

Squad

A falling-out at AS Etat Major

Oumar Hissein and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

The dugout

Adam Abakar gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Player ratings

Ezechiel Youssouf takes the honours

Marked 7.85 on an afternoon he ran from the first whistle to the last. Whatever else went wrong, AS Etat Major had the best player on the pitch.

Loan watch

Ezechiel Mbaiguedem has seen enough of CotonTchad

“I am grateful for the games, but I did not become a footballer to be somebody else's spare part.” He wants to be at AS Etat Major, and 2 appearances in 10 say he has earned the hearing.

Match

Ezechiel Youssouf rescues a point for AS Etat Major

It needed Ezechiel Youssouf to find the net to bring anything home at all: 1‑1 against CotonTchad, and half the dressing room will call it a point won.

Market

a squad player 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 AS Etat Major, and it is not being withdrawn.

Market

Only the photograph left for a squad player

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. a squad player will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around AS Etat Major the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Boardroom

AS Etat Major to lose a squad player for free

There is no worse way to lose a footballer. a squad player has pre-agreed a move away, which means every appearance between now and June is made by a man the club can no longer sell, and somebody upstairs will be asked why the contract was allowed to get here.

Squad

Real improvement from Brahim Abba at AS Etat Major

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Brahim Abba is 22, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Squad

Saleh Djimet 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 AS Etat Major this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Ezechiel Youssouf has improved at 28, which nobody expected

Careers are supposed to plateau and then decline, and the players who ignore that are always the ones who were listening on the training ground. 3 points of it, over months, at an age where the direction normally only goes one way.

Loan watch

Idriss Bechir wants to come home

“I did not go to Foullah Edifice to sit and watch. I want to come back to AS Etat Major and fight for my place.” 0 appearances in 5 matches say the rest.

Squad

Saleh Mbainaissem signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Saleh Mbainaissem and AS Etat Major agree another 3 years.

The dugout

Oumar Hissein asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

Narcisse Ndoram has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around AS Etat Major they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Squad

Real improvement from Ezechiel Ngaradoumbe at AS Etat Major

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Ezechiel Ngaradoumbe is 22, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Market

So close: Idriss Abakar’s move dies late

The fee was agreed and the flight was looked at — and then the phone stopped ringing. AS DGSSIE moved on, Idriss Abakar reports back to AS Etat Major, and everybody pretends Monday is just Monday.

Squad

Saleh Djimet falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Squad

Oumar Hissein 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 AS Etat Major this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Oumar Hissein signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Oumar Hissein commits to AS Etat Major for another 2 years.

Transfer targets

Renaissance tell AS Etat Major: Mahamat Ali Hassan 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.

Squad

A row about effort at AS Etat Major

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

Market

Galactik watching Abdoulaye Ngaradoumbe

The interest is real enough to have reached print. AS Etat Major have said nothing, which in a transfer window is its own kind of answer.

Market

Still no ink between AS Etat Major and a squad player

“We keep meeting, and we keep leaving the room with the same numbers we walked in with.” Another round of talks at AS Etat Major, another week without a signature from a squad player.

Transfer targets

AS Etat Major ask about Bicto Tyonga

A loan enquiry to Foullah Edifice: cover, or a look at somebody the club cannot afford to buy yet. Either way the answer will come back inside the week.

Transfer targets

AS Etat Major try to borrow Narcisse Haroun

AS Algoy have been asked whether they would lend him. Loans are agreed quickly or not at all, and this one will be one or the other by the weekend.
