Player ratings

Kamory Doumbia runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 39. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Market

Facundo Capellino has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Stade Brestois they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Squad

Ludovic Ajorque 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 Stade Brestois this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Kenny Lala signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Kenny Lala and Stade Brestois agree another 2 years.

Match

Stade Brestois cannot find the net

3 games without scoring. Strikers stop looking up, midfielders take the extra touch, and every shot that clears the bar is followed by a groan that has been building since the last goal.

Squad

Words at Stade Brestois training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Pathé Mboup 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

Álvaro Lemos out for 18 days

The medical room confirms 18 days on the sidelines for Álvaro Lemos, and a plan built around him now has to be rebuilt.

Loan watch

Hamidou Makalou wants to come home

“I did not go to Le Havre AC to sit and watch. I want to come back to Stade Brestois and fight for my place.” 2 appearances in 6 matches say the rest.

Match

Point won or two lost for Stade Brestois?

Ninety minutes, no goals, and the argument started before the car park emptied: a point gained, or two thrown away against Olympique Lyonnais? Both sides of it will still be going on Thursday.

Boardroom

1 academy players handed senior numbers at Stade Brestois

The morning the pathway stops being a brochure and becomes a team sheet. Most of them will not be here in three years; all of them have already done the hard part, which was getting to today.

Squad

Words at Stade Brestois training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Romain Del Castillo 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.

Market

Stade Brestois promote Daniel Duval from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Daniel Duval has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Market

AJ Auxerre expected to open talks for Léo Botz

Both sides expect a conversation in the coming days. Stade Brestois will name a price, and everything after that is arithmetic.

Market

Talks stall between Stade Brestois and Lars Ritzka

“We are a long way apart, and pretending otherwise helps nobody.” Neither side is close, and the calendar is not on the club's side.

The terraces

The spotlight tightens on Giovanni Haag

Every touch is being weighed now, in print and everywhere else. Some players grow into that and some are quietly ruined by it, and nobody knows which in advance.

Squad

A wage question at Stade Brestois

Hugo Magnetti has done the arithmetic and does not like the answer. Nothing corrodes a squad faster, and no club has ever solved it by explaining the wage structure to a footballer.

Squad

A season on the outside for Lars Ritzka

He trains hard, says the right things and goes home to an empty flat. Nobody at Stade Brestois has done anything wrong, which is exactly what makes it so difficult to fix.
