Match

US Moursal taken apart

0‑5 to AS PSI, and it was every bit as bad as the number suggests. There are defeats you argue about and defeats you apologise for; this was the second kind.

Market

Ahmat Abakar 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.

Boardroom

Belts tighten at US Moursal

The accounts are being read more closely than the results. Wages before ambition is the order of business now, and the manager has been told so.

Match

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

5 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.

Market

Only the photograph left for Marius Ngaradoumbe

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Marius Ngaradoumbe will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around US Moursal the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Match

No clean sheets in sight for US Moursal

5 games now with at least two against. The back line has been rearranged, the goalkeeper has been backed publicly, and the goals keep going in anyway.

Squad

Brahim Ndoram signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Brahim Ndoram and US Moursal agree another 3 years.

Squad

Words at US Moursal training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Ezechiel Ndoram is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Squad

Abdramane Abba 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 US Moursal this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Back issues

Squad

25 days out for Abdoulaye Tokindang after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. US Moursal will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Player ratings

Djibrine Abakar, 16, plays like he has been here for years — 7.75

A mark of 7.75 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 16-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.

Squad

The step up is real for Djibrine Abba

At 20 he is doing things this season that he could not do last season, and doing them every week. Form comes and goes; this has stayed long enough to be called something else.

Squad

Words exchanged at US Moursal

Ezechiel Ndoram 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.

Squad

a squad player has improved at 29, 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.

Match

US Moursal come up short against Stars Jeunes Talents

Stars Jeunes Talents left with the points after a 1‑2 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Ezechiel Ndoram

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Loan watch

a squad player wants to come home

“I did not go to AS DGSSIE to sit and watch. I want to come back to US Moursal and fight for my place.” 3 appearances in 9 matches say the rest.

The dugout

The view from the dugout

“We will look at it, we will learn from it, and we go again.” The three sentences every manager keeps for a 1‑2 defeat, delivered by Mahamat Doungous to a room that had heard them before.

Squad

Late improvement for a squad player

At 29 the improving is meant to be over, and it is not: 3 points better than a year ago. It happens to the ones who take the boring parts seriously.

From our football correspondent Steady

Market

Hassan Allamine agrees terms with Elect Sport

The clubs have settled the fee and he has settled his wages. What remains is a medical and a photograph, and around US Moursal people have started saying his name in the past tense.

Market

Hassan Allamine 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.

Market

US Moursal turn down AS PSI for Marius Djimet

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Transfer targets

No thanks: Abdramane Ndoram rejects the move

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

Squad

A falling-out at US Moursal

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

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.

Squad

Brahim Moustapha signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Brahim Moustapha commits to US Moursal for another 3 years.

Market

Ahmat Abakar runs his contract down

7 months remain and no agreement is close. Every week without a signature costs US Moursal money.

The dugout

Brahim Moustapha knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at US Moursal, and both men came out saying it was fine.
