Match

Red Star run riot against Valenciennes

3‑0, and the margin flattered nobody — it could have carried another goal or two without complaint. Afternoons like this are why people keep coming.

Squad

3 goals for Kévin Cabral

The match ball belongs to Kévin Cabral, whose 3 goals turned a difficult afternoon into a procession.

Squad

Words exchanged at Red Star

Gaëtan Poussin 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.

Player ratings

Ninety minutes of Kévin Cabral at his very best

Marked 9.48. Players have careers without a single afternoon like this in them, and he has just had one in front of everybody at Red Star.

Player ratings

Kemo Cissé runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 20. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Transfer targets

Werder Bremen tell Red Star: Kenny Quetant is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Squad

Words at Red Star training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Makan Traoré 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.

One of our own: Frédéric Laine joins the Red Star first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Frédéric Laine is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Jean-Baptiste David steps up from the Red Star academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Jean-Baptiste David has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

In brief
