Market26 Jan 2032

Blaise Loïc Tsagué puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Gazelle Garoua, and it is not being withdrawn.

The dugout26 Jan 2032

Collins Ntcham says Gazelle Garoua went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Transfer targets26 Jan 2032

Boubacar Ba turns down Gazelle Garoua

The clubs had agreed and the player had not. A snub, and a public one: Cotonsport Garoua keep him, and the supporters here are left wondering what he had heard about the place.

Words exchanged at Gazelle Garoua

Blaise Loïc Tsagué 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.

A row about effort at Gazelle Garoua

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Jordy Doumbe Youmba was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Match24 Jan 2032

Gazelle Garoua come up short against Victoria United

Victoria United left with the points after a 0‑2 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Player ratings26 Jan 2032

The game went through Ayatullahi Suleiman — 6.90

Marked 6.90 on 11 actions at both ends of the pitch. Midfielders like this get described as unspectacular by people who have never tried to play against one.

The dugout26 Jan 2032

The manager makes an example of Aseol Adjm

“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.

The dugout26 Jan 2032

Interim Coach faces the questions

“We were not good enough today and I am not going to dress it up.” Interim Coach after 0‑2, in the tone of a man who knows the next question and does not intend to answer it.

Player ratings22 Sep 2031

A debut Patrick Hongla will not forget — 7.33

There is exactly one of these per career and it does not usually go like this. 1 on the scoresheet, 7.33 beside the name, and a crowd that had never seen him before chanting it by the end.

Squad22 Sep 2031

Pierre Anguissa breaks a bone — 23 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 23 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Franck Ntcham puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Gazelle Garoua, and it is not being withdrawn.

Florent Warna 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 Gazelle Garoua this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Market22 Sep 2031

Emmanuel Mabouka steps up from the Gazelle Garoua academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Emmanuel Mabouka 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.

One of our own: Collins Ntcham joins the Gazelle Garoua first team

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

Marcel Etame steps up from the Gazelle Garoua academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Marcel Etame 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.

Clinton Mbia signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Clinton Mbia commits to Gazelle Garoua for another 4 years.
