Marked for Melvin Zinga

Player ratings28 Dec 2026

Lilian Raolisoa was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 36. 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.

Match26 Dec 2026

No end in sight to Angers SCO's wait for a win

10 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Angers SCO has to find a result from somewhere.

Player ratings28 Dec 2026

Prosper Peter, 19, steals the show — 7.80

Marked 7.80 at 19, in a side that makes no allowances for age. He did not need any, and he looked the least nervous man on the pitch.

Squad28 Dec 2026

Words exchanged at Angers SCO

Haris Belkebla 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.

Squad28 Dec 2026

A row about effort at Angers SCO

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

Squad28 Dec 2026

Melvin Zinga has improved at 24, which nobody expected

Careers are supposed to plateau and then decline, and the players who ignore that are always the ones who were listening on the training ground. 3 points of it, over months, at an age where the direction normally only goes one way.

The dugout28 Dec 2026

No hiding place for Ousmane Camara

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

Squad28 Dec 2026

Mohamed Boujad wants to go home

“I have tried. I have really tried, and every day I wake up in the wrong place.” Nobody at Angers SCO can coach that out of a man, and nobody there is pretending to.

Match26 Dec 2026

Angers SCO and FC Metz take a point apiece

It finished 1‑1, and it somehow always looked like it would. One of those afternoons where the table moves less than the tempers.

Squad5 Oct 2026

Jordan Lefort 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.

Lilian Raolisoa was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 22. 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.

Squad5 Oct 2026

Late improvement for Melvin Zinga

At 24 the improving is meant to be over, and it is not: 3 points better than a year ago. It happens to the ones who take the boring parts seriously.

Player ratings5 Oct 2026

One of those days for Yassin Belkhdim

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.29, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

The dugout5 Oct 2026

Ibrahim Cissé 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.

Squad5 Oct 2026

Amine El Ouazzani named player of the month

The award goes to Amine El Ouazzani, and nobody around here is inclined to argue with the choice.

Match3 Oct 2026

Angers SCO share the spoils with Paris FC

A 1‑1 draw with Paris FC leaves the dressing room somewhere between relief and regret.

The dugout5 Oct 2026

Angers SCO pick somebody else ahead of Ibrahim Cissé

There is no complaint available here and everybody involved knows it, which does not make the walk to the bench any shorter. Form is the only currency in football that cannot be borrowed against.

Transfer targets3 Aug 2026

Angers SCO rebuffed over Senny Mayulu

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Paris Saint-Germain have kept their man, and Angers SCO go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Squad3 Aug 2026

A career in one shirt: Pierrick Capelle

11 seasons and 457 appearances, all of them here. Careers like this are not designed; they happen to a certain kind of man at a certain kind of club, and this town has one.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Haris Belkebla stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Haris Belkebla and Angers SCO agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Words exchanged at Angers SCO

Haris Belkebla 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.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Hussayn Touati gets the move he always wanted

Footballers are asked about their boyhood club so often that nobody listens to the answer. Hussayn Touati has just signed for Angers SCO, and for once the answer mattered.

Market3 Aug 2026

Eyes on Marius Savidan again

The phone has started ringing about Marius Savidan again, and this time the name on the line is USM Alger. Angers SCO are listening politely and promising nothing.

Market3 Aug 2026

24 months and counting on Anthony Lopes

Still no offer on the table, and Anthony Lopes’s deal keeps shrinking. In boardroom language, silence this long stops being an oversight and starts being an answer.

Transfer targets3 Aug 2026

A loan move for José Raúl Zúñiga is in the works

Angers SCO have made the call to Club America. No fee, a share of the wages, and a spare shirt in the position where the squad has been thinnest all season.

The dugout3 Aug 2026

Louis Mouton 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 Angers SCO, and both men came out saying it was fine.
