Tempers go at Red Star
Gaëtan Poussin 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.

Words at Red Star training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Dembo Sylla 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.

A promise honoured for Islamdine Halifa
It is not much of a headline and it is the reason players believe the next promise. Red Star told Islamdine Halifa something would happen and then it happened, which in this industry passes for remarkable.

Abdelsamad Hachem asks for a word with the manager
“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

When it matters, Marley Milord plays
It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.

Théo Magnin has seen what the next man earns
Numbers do not stay secret in a dressing room and never have. He is not asking for more than he is worth; he is asking why somebody beside him is worth more, and at Red Star that is a harder question to answer.
