Marked for Melvin Zinga

From our football correspondent Steady

Squad16 Oct 2028

A one-man rearguard from Anthony Lopes

There were 6 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Match14 Oct 2028

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

4 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.

Squad16 Oct 2028

Tempers go at Angers SCO

Ousmane Camara 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.

Player ratings16 Oct 2028

A masterclass from Amine Sbaï

Marked 9.02 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.

Squad16 Oct 2028

Anthony Lopes 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.

Player ratings16 Oct 2028

Ousmane Camara runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 19. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Player ratings16 Oct 2028

One of those days for Tommaso Ebone

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.13, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Squad16 Oct 2028

Melvin Zinga out for 34 days

The medical room confirms 34 days on the sidelines for Melvin Zinga, and a plan built around him now has to be rebuilt.

Loan watch16 Oct 2028

Marius Courcoul wants to come home

“I did not go to Toulouse FC to sit and watch. I want to come back to Angers SCO and fight for my place.” 2 appearances in 13 matches say the rest.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad8 May 2028

Melvin Zinga: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Angers SCO have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Squad8 May 2028

Tempers go at Angers SCO

Ousmane Camara 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.

Squad8 May 2028

Prosper Peter 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.

From our football correspondent Crisis

Match14 Feb 2028

Angers SCO sink to position 16

24 points, and a fixture list that is running out. The mathematics are not yet cruel, but they are no longer kind.

Squad14 Feb 2028

Melvin Zinga keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Angers SCO may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Squad14 Feb 2028

Yassin Belkhdim is carrying Angers SCO

8 goals and a season average of 7.47. Form like that gets noticed well beyond this town.

Squad14 Feb 2028

The manager makes an example of Faris

“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.

Match12 Feb 2028

Angers SCO come up short against FC Nantes

FC Nantes left with the points after a 0‑1 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Player ratings14 Feb 2028

Faris leaves them behind him

Shots: 10. Goals: none. The chances were there and they were good ones, and they went into the stand, the goalkeeper's arms and the side netting in roughly that order.

Experience through the door at Angers SCO

Daniel Høegh arrives at 37 with nothing left to prove and plenty left to pass on. Legs are a young man's currency; knowing where to stand never ages.
