Squad

Words at Angers SCO training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Jordan Teze 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.

Player ratings

Jordan Lefort stands above it all

Some games turn on a moment; this one turned on a man. 7.65 on the card, and the Angers SCO support went home talking about one name.

The dugout

Kelvin Yeboah dropped after a run of poor form

The one version of being left out a player cannot argue with, and the one he takes worst. Somebody else has been better and the team sheet says so, in public, every week until it changes.

The dugout

Angers SCO keep their word to Jim Allevinah

Clubs make promises constantly and the page usually only hears about them when they are broken. This one was honoured, and the dressing room noticed that faster than any supporter did.

The dugout

Luc Prévost on the point

“A point is a point and I will take it, but we should have had all three.” Luc Prévost after the 0‑0 draw, and the sentence every manager in the country said at some stage this weekend.

Player ratings

A defender's afternoon for Lilian Raolisoa

Defensive actions: 13. He was first to everything and second to nothing, and the goalkeeper had an easy day because of it.

Match

Angers SCO and Paris FC cancel each other out

Nil-nil, and few chances worth the name. Paris FC came to defend and left with exactly what they came for.

The dugout

Yohan Bilingi gets picked when it counts

Every manager keeps a short list in his head of the men he wants on the pitch when the stakes rise, and it is never published. The team sheets for the big afternoons say Yohan Bilingi is on it.

Market

Amine Sbaï linked with a move away

The name of Amine Sbaï keeps appearing in other people's back pages. Angers SCO say nothing, which says plenty.

Player ratings

Yassin Belkhdim did the work nobody counts — 6.79

17 combined actions and 6.79. The job he did is the one that shows up as other people looking good, and the only reliable way to notice it is to watch what happens on the afternoons he is missing.

Squad

Jordan Teze 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.

Squad

Ousmane Camara 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 Angers SCO this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

The dugout

No hiding place for Sofyan Chader

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

Squad

A smaller club would suit Anthony Lopes now

He has had enough of the noise. Whether Angers SCO can be a quieter place for him, or whether the only cure is a move somewhere the phone-ins are gentler, is a question for the next few months.

Player ratings

Jordan Lefort was the difference for Angers SCO

Marked 7.47. Ask anyone leaving the ground what settled it and you will get one name, which is the only award that has ever really counted.

The dugout

The manager’s verdict

“I am frustrated, honestly. We did enough to win and we did not win.” Luc Prévost was not hiding it after 0‑0, and nobody in the Angers SCO dressing room was either.

The dugout

The form table has caught Abdoulaye Bamba

Somebody else has been better, the manager has said so with a team sheet, and there is no argument to be had. He will get the shirt back the only way it can be got back.

Match

No goals between Angers SCO and Toulouse FC

Ninety minutes, two goalkeepers with clean gloves, and not one finish worth keeping. Toulouse FC will be the happier side with the point.

42 Edition

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad

42 days out for Pierrick Capelle after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Angers SCO will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Squad

Anthony Lopes 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.

Squad

Lilian Raolisoa has had enough of the noise

The ambition story running backwards, and the one nobody tells: a footballer who wants a smaller ground, fewer cameras and a crowd that does not turn. It is not weakness and it is rarely reported as anything else.

Market

No place for Melvin Zinga in the plan

“The manager did not use many words, and he did not need to.” Melvin Zinga has his answer from Angers SCO; what he does with it is the next window’s story.

The dugout

No hiding place for Yohan Bilingi

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

Market

The Amine Sbaï talk will not go away

Another week, another link, another denial nobody quite believes. Angers SCO know the market decides these things, not the back pages — but the back pages are louder.

The dugout

Prosper Peter knocks on the manager’s door

“Thirty minutes, door closed, everything said. We shook hands after.” Whatever was in the room stayed in the room, and Prosper Peter trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.

The dugout

Lionel Ngangué gets picked when it counts

Every manager keeps a short list in his head of the men he wants on the pitch when the stakes rise, and it is never published. The team sheets for the big afternoons say Lionel Ngangué is on it.

The dugout

The manager makes Tyler Deric a promise

Nothing in writing and nothing in public: a word about playing time, given face to face at Angers SCO. The team sheets over the next month will show whether it was worth having.

29 Mar 2027
From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad

101 days out for Pierrick Capelle after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Angers SCO will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

The dugout

Yohan Bilingi says Angers SCO 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.

Squad

Lionel Ngangué is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 21 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.

Squad

A row about effort at Angers SCO

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

Market

Örgryte join the queue for Marius Savidan

Add another name to the list: Örgryte have asked the question everybody in the game has been asking about Marius Savidan. The answer from Angers SCO has not changed — yet.

The dugout

Prosper Peter 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.

Squad

Anthony Lopes has had enough of the noise

The ambition story running backwards, and the one nobody tells: a footballer who wants a smaller ground, fewer cameras and a crowd that does not turn. It is not weakness and it is rarely reported as anything else.

Market

The Amine Sbaï talk will not go away

Another week, another link, another denial nobody quite believes. Angers SCO know the market decides these things, not the back pages — but the back pages are louder.

The dugout

When it matters, Lionel Ngangué 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.

In brief
