Market

Oumar Mahamat 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 The request is on a desk at AS Algoy, and it is not being withdrawn.

Player ratings

a squad player beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 23. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Market

Only the photograph left for Idriss Abakar

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Idriss Abakar will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around AS Algoy the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Squad

A falling-out at AS Algoy

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

Match

AS Algoy find a way past Galactik

Galactik made AS Algoy work for it, but the scoreboard read 2‑0 at the end and the table does not ask how.

Player ratings

Oumar Haroun was on a different afternoon to everybody else

8.59. There are performances a supporter describes to somebody who was not there and cannot quite convey; this was one, and the number does not help either.

Match

AS Algoy settle it inside twenty minutes

2 goals before the ground had finished arriving. Galactik spent the rest of the afternoon playing a match that had already been decided, and everybody in the stadium knew it.

Player ratings

A masterclass from Adam Doungous

Marked 8.10 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.

Squad

Abdoulaye Allamine 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.

From our football correspondent Steady

Match

No mercy from AS Algoy

Stars Jeunes Talents will want this one forgotten quickly: 4‑1, every duel lost, and a long ride home. AS Algoy were ruthless in the way good sides are ruthless.

Player ratings

A brace, and Oumar Haroun takes the afternoon — 9.26

There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Oumar Haroun provided it, and the 9.26 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

Player ratings

Abdoulaye Youssouf scores twice — 8.13

Two goals and a mark of 8.13 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

The dugout

Moussa Mahamat frozen out at AS Algoy

This is not rotation. Moussa Mahamat has not been in the manager's plans for some time, and nobody at AS Algoy is pretending otherwise.

Squad

Tempers go at AS Algoy

Abdoulaye Youssouf 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.

The terraces

AS Algoy supporters have found a favourite in Abdoulaye Youssouf

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 22-year-old it feels ownership of. Abdoulaye Youssouf has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

Player ratings

Adam Doungous in the eights

A performance of 8.14 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

Squad

Words at AS Algoy training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Abdoulaye Allamine 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.

The dugout

Brahim Abba has his say

“We earned that. I asked them for a reaction and I got one, and now I want the same again on Saturday.” Brahim Abba on a 4‑1 afternoon that pleased him more than he was prepared to show.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Player ratings

Both of them Oumar Haroun's — 9.29

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 9.29, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Player ratings

Adam Doungous, 21, plays like he has been here for years — 7.81

A mark of 7.81 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 21-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.

Market

Ezechiel Haroun 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 Algoy can pretend not to have heard.

Match

The wait goes on for AS Algoy

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

Only the photograph left for Ezechiel Mbaiguedem

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Ezechiel Mbaiguedem will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around AS Algoy the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Squad

Words exchanged at AS Algoy

Abdoulaye Youssouf 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 row about effort at AS Algoy

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

Match

Honours even between AS Algoy and US Moursal

4‑4, and both dressing rooms will call it two points lost. A draw that asked plenty of questions and answered none of them.

Match

Two points walk out of the ground

Level with 88 minutes on the clock, after an afternoon AS Algoy had all but put away. US Moursal will call it a point earned; the home dressing room will call it two given away, and both of them are right.

From our football correspondent Crisis

Match

Nowhere to hide for AS Algoy

1‑6 against Foullah Edifice, and no complaints that would survive the replay. The manager spoke about character afterwards; the terraces used shorter words.

Player ratings

Adam Doungous, 21, plays like he has been here for years — 7.82

A mark of 7.82 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 21-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.

Market

Hassan Abakar asks to leave AS Algoy

“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.

Match

Adam Doungous among the goals in a wild afternoon

7 goals in one match, Adam Doungous on the scoresheet, and a scoreline that will look like a misprint. Neutrals could not have asked more of AS Algoy and Foullah Edifice.

Squad

Tempers go at AS Algoy

Abdoulaye Youssouf 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

Words at AS Algoy training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Oumar Haroun 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.

The dugout

Oumar Mahamat 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

A day to forget for Oumar Souleymane

Beaten 6 times, 3 saves, and an afternoon that will go on his record whether it was his fault or the defence’s. It is the quiet unfairness of the position.

Boardroom

Nobody left the AS Algoy dressing room in a hurry

The door stayed shut a long time after the final whistle. What was said in there is between them; whether it worked is between them and Saturday.

Market

Youssouf Youssouf 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 Algoy can pretend not to have heard.

Player ratings

No sign of nerves from Adam Doungous at 21 — 8.51

The hardest thing about being 21 in a senior side is that nobody makes allowances. Adam Doungous did not need any: 8.51, and he looked the most comfortable man on the pitch.

Boardroom

An order from above at AS Algoy: somebody has to go

Balance sheets do not care about form or about who the manager was planning to build around. The board have decided a sale is required, and the only question left is which name ends up carrying it.

Market

Only the photograph left for Idriss Abakar

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Idriss Abakar will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around AS Algoy the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Match

AS Algoy find a way past AS Etat Major

AS Etat Major made AS Algoy work for it, but the scoreboard read 4‑3 at the end and the table does not ask how.

Match

7 goals as AS Algoy and AS Etat Major go for it

Defending was optional and nobody took up the option. 7 goals between AS Algoy and AS Etat Major, and not one of the people who paid to be there will ask for the money back.

Squad

Abdoulaye Youssouf 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 Algoy this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Words at AS Algoy training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Moussa Mahamat 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.

The terraces

The crowd has taken to Adam Doungous

At 21 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.

In brief
