The dugout

Ahmat Mbaiguedem: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” US Moursal have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Market

Brahim Souleymane asks to leave US Moursal

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Market

Renaissance come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and US Moursal did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Market

Ahmat Bechir says no to Foullah Edifice

“I listened, I thought about it, and I am staying. That is the whole story.” The clubs had agreed a fee. Ahmat Bechir had not agreed to go, which turned out to be the part that mattered.

Match

No end in sight to US Moursal's wait for a win

4 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at US Moursal has to find a result from somewhere.

Squad

A falling-out at US Moursal

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

Market

US Moursal sell Issa Bechir for $4.0K

Issa Bechir has left for Galactik in a $4.0K deal. The accountants are pleased; the supporters are less certain.

Squad

A row about effort at US Moursal

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

The dugout

A promise honoured at US Moursal

Something was said to Brahim Oumar and then it happened. In this industry that passes for remarkable, and the dressing room noticed faster than any supporter could.

Market

Saleh Mbaiguedem asks to leave US Moursal

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Market

Gazelle come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and US Moursal did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

The dugout

a squad player: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” US Moursal have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Squad

Words exchanged at US Moursal

Ali Abakar and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Loan watch

Bilal Amrabat counts the days

“I watch every US Moursal game from here. That says everything about where my head is.” The loan at AS PSI runs its course, but his heart never made the trip.

Player ratings

Adam Moustapha beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 19. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Match

Gazelle take the points off US Moursal

Beaten 0‑1, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Market

Eyes on Ahmat Bechir again

The phone has started ringing about Ahmat Bechir again, and this time the name on the line is Foullah Edifice. US Moursal are listening politely and promising nothing.

The dugout

No hiding place for Ali Abakar

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

In brief

  • Squad A row about effort at US Moursal
  • Match US Moursal at the halfway mark
  • The dugout The manager’s verdict

From our football correspondent Steady

Squad

Moussa Allamine breaks a bone — 55 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 55 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Market

Oumar Djimet 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 US Moursal, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad

A falling-out at US Moursal

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

Squad

Ahmat Bechir 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.

Match

US Moursal come up short against Renaissance

Renaissance left with the points after a 0‑1 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

The dugout

Marius Abakar faces the questions

“We were not good enough today and I am not going to dress it up.” Marius Abakar after 0‑1, in the tone of a man who knows the next question and does not intend to answer it.

The dugout

When it matters, Saleh Mbaiguedem 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.

The dugout

a squad player 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.

The dugout

Djibrine Allamine 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 Djibrine Allamine trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Squad

Tempers go at US Moursal

Ali Abakar 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 squad player signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” a squad player and US Moursal agree another 2 years.

Squad

Saleh Mbaiguedem falls out with a teammate over standards

Market

Bilal Amrabat attracts admirers

The name of Bilal Amrabat has come up in conversations US Moursal were not part of. Nothing formal, nothing signed — but nothing about it accidental either.

The dugout

Ali Abakar 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 Ali Abakar trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.
