Squad

Yan Marillat keeps US Creteil in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 7 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Match

No end in sight to US Creteil's wait for a win

5 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at US Creteil has to find a result from somewhere.

Squad

US Creteil count the cost of losing Stephen Quemper

36 days, the scan says, and scans are kinder than reality. The fixtures in that window have just become somebody else’s job.

Market

Eyes on Mohamed Ben Fredj again

The phone has started ringing about Mohamed Ben Fredj again, and this time the name on the line is AS Nancy. US Creteil are listening politely and promising nothing.

Squad

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.

Squad

No hiding place for Yan Marillat

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Yan Marillat, and the manager let it.

Player ratings

One of those days for Mohamed Ben Fredj

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.37, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Match

Mohamed Ben Fredj rescues a point for US Creteil

It needed Mohamed Ben Fredj to find the net to bring anything home at all: 2‑2 against Stade Brestois, and half the dressing room will call it a point won.

Market

A long bet from US Creteil on Said Zaidi

He is 18, and nobody at US Creteil signed him for this season. Deals like this are judged in four years, by people who may not still be in the building.

In brief
