Real improvement from Valentín Barco at RC Strasbourg
Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Valentín Barco is 23, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

The wait goes on for RC Strasbourg
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.

RC Strasbourg say no — this time
The offer from Bourg-Peronnas for Mathis Amougou was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Tempers go at RC Strasbourg
Valentín Barco 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.

Words at RC Strasbourg training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Ben Chilwell 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.

Graduation day at RC Strasbourg
6 boys move up, and somewhere in the building the people who coached them at twelve are quietly having the best morning of their working year. Nothing about this shows up in a result and it is why the academy exists.

Julio Enciso’s goal not enough for RC Strasbourg
Julio Enciso scored, and precious little else went right: 2‑3 to Olympique Lyonnais, and a quiet walk to the dressing room.

A late step up for Sebastian Nanasi
At 25 the improving is meant to be over. It is not: 3 points better than the mark taken at the start of the year, which is the sort of thing that happens to players who take the boring parts of the job seriously.
