Ahmad Ngouyamsa 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 US Creteil this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Graduation day at US Creteil
2 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.

Stijn Petiet stays put
“The easiest signature of my career.” Stijn Petiet and US Creteil agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Robert Perrot steps up from the US Creteil academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Robert Perrot 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.

David Girard steps up from the US Creteil academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. David Girard 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.

Christopher Baptista gets it from the manager
“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

5 new faces, and US Creteil are still learning each other
A squad rebuilt inside one window pays for it in a currency nobody budgets for. The football is not worse than the sum of the players; it is worse than the sum of the players who have played together before.

No place for Billal Mehadji in the plan
“The manager did not use many words, and he did not need to.” Billal Mehadji has his answer from US Creteil; what he does with it is the next window’s story.
Match15 Aug 2026
Honours even between US Creteil and Tours
1‑1, and both dressing rooms will call it two points lost. A draw that asked plenty of questions and answered none of them.
In brief
- Boardroom US Creteil turn down the training-ground plan
- Market US Creteil pick up Emmanuel Samba for nothing
- Player ratings Gaël Nsombi runs at them all day
