Market

Feydji Vienne asks to leave AJ Auxerre

“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.

Squad

Words at AJ Auxerre training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Clément Akpa 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.

Squad

Ryan Rodin 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 AJ Auxerre this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Donovan Léon

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Match

AJ Auxerre come up short against Paris FC

Paris FC left with the points after a 1‑2 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Kévin Danois

Successful dribbles: 16. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Match

AJ Auxerre come up short against Olympique de Marseille

Olympique de Marseille left with the points after a 0‑1 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Player ratings

Álex Guti runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 18. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad

Tempers go at AJ Auxerre

Leonardo Mendicino 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 AJ Auxerre training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Lamine Sy 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.

Squad

Grejohn Kyei dropped after a run of poor form

The one version of being left out a player cannot argue with, and the one he takes worst. Somebody else has been better and the team sheet says so, in public, every week until it changes.

Squad

When it matters, Danny Namaso plays

It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.

Match

AJ Auxerre get the job done against Angers SCO

A 1‑0 win over Angers SCO, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

Player ratings

Kévin Danois in the eights

A performance of 8.01 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.
