The Red Star Courier

Gaëtan Poussin stands alone
6 saves, and a scoreline the ten men in front of him had no right to. Goalkeepers only get noticed on the bad days; this was one of the other ones.

Hacène Benali frozen out at Red Star
This is not rotation. Hacène Benali has not been in the manager's plans for some time, and nobody at Red Star is pretending otherwise.

A falling-out at Red Star
Samuel Renel and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.
Match25 Sep 2027
A bad afternoon for Red Star against ESTAC Troyes
0‑1 to ESTAC Troyes, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Red Star lose Patrick Roger
18 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.

Rafael Heleno signs on for more
“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Rafael Heleno and Red Star agree another 3 years.

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 0‑1 defeat, delivered by Daniel Rey to a room that had heard them before.

Godson Kyeremeh asks for a word with the manager
“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

No hiding place for Enzo Legrix
“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Enzo Legrix, and the manager let it.
In brief
- Market The Gaëtan Poussin talk will not go away
- Market The shop window has Matthieu Huard in it
- Player ratings Nobody could get near Kemo Cissé
