Gonzalo Antoine 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 The request is on a desk at Charleroi, and it is not being withdrawn.

Yacine Titraoui 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 Charleroi this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Parfait Guiagon 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.

Match22 Aug 2026

Isaac Mbenza the difference as Charleroi beat Waasland-Beveren

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Isaac Mbenza. 1‑0 against Waasland-Beveren, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

Isaac Mbenza was on a different afternoon to everybody else

8.27. 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.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Cheick Keita 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.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Charles Tielemans signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Charles Tielemans and Charleroi agree another 3 years.

Nobody could get near Eden Witsel

Successful dribbles: 11. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Player ratings24 Aug 2026

Kévin Van Den Kerkhof was immovable

10 times he got in the way of something. Centre-halves get written about when they make mistakes and ignored when they do not, so an afternoon like this needs saying out loud: he is the reason the scoreline reads as it does.

The Mouscron Gazette

From our football correspondent Steady

Match8 Aug 2026

OH Leuven punish Mouscron for switching off

2 goals to the good, and then a slow surrender of everything that had been earned. Simon Nainggolan will not be the one blamed for it, but nobody at Mouscron escapes the conversation that follows a collapse like this.

Player ratings10 Aug 2026

Both of them Simon Nainggolan's — 8.71

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.71, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Market10 Aug 2026

Mouscron turn down Alcione Milano for Rodrigo Porto

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

Market10 Aug 2026

Laurent Carrasco raises the bar for Mouscron

“I want to be playing for trophies while my legs still let me.” Nothing in that sentence is a transfer request, and nobody at Mouscron heard it as anything else.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Timothy Courtois signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Timothy Courtois commits to Mouscron for another 4 years.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Tempers go at Mouscron

Simon Nainggolan 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.

Match8 Aug 2026

Simon Nainggolan’s goal not enough for Mouscron

Simon Nainggolan scored, and precious little else went right: 2‑3 to OH Leuven, and a quiet walk to the dressing room.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Laurent Carrasco 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.

Squad10 Aug 2026

No hiding place for Thorgan Onana

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