Market

Félix Noubara asks to leave AS PSI

“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.

Match

The wait goes on for AS PSI

4 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

Player ratings

Brahim Goudja beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 23. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Squad

Words exchanged at AS PSI

Brahim Goudja and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Match

A bad afternoon for AS PSI against AS Algoy

0‑1 to AS Algoy, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Squad

Félix Noubara falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

The dugout

Narcisse Moustapha faces the questions

“We were not good enough today and I am not going to dress it up.” Narcisse Moustapha after 0‑1, in the tone of a man who knows the next question and does not intend to answer it.

The dugout

Nassar Koulelengar has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at AS PSI will say this on the record and the team sheets have been saying it for weeks. There is a small group in every squad who get picked when the fixture is difficult, and he has joined it.

The dugout

Bark Abdramane knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at AS PSI, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Squad

Tempers go at AS PSI

Nassar Koulelengar 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

Fabrice Djimhoué signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Fabrice Djimhoué and AS PSI agree another 3 years.

Player ratings

Brahim Goudja was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 20. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

Match

A bad afternoon for AS PSI against CotonTchad

1‑2 to CotonTchad, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Market

AS PSI promote Brahim Doungous from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Brahim Doungous 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

One of our own: Saleh Ngaradoumbe joins the AS PSI first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Saleh Ngaradoumbe is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Squad

A month that belonged to Arnaud Siani

The young player of the month award goes to a 20-year-old at AS PSI who has looked like the finished article for four weekends running. The next four are the ones that decide whether he is.

The dugout

Haroun Abakar 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.

The dugout

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 1‑2 defeat, delivered by Narcisse Moustapha to a room that had heard them before.

In brief
