Squad11 Dec 2028

A one-man rearguard from Mees Eppink

There were 12 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.

Match10 Dec 2028

No end in sight to ADO Den Haag's wait for a win

6 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at ADO Den Haag has to find a result from somewhere.

Squad11 Dec 2028

Tempers go at ADO Den Haag

Joël Veltman 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.

Match10 Dec 2028

Jesse Bal’s goal not enough for ADO Den Haag

Jesse Bal scored, and precious little else went right: 2‑3 to Barcelona, and a quiet walk to the dressing room.

Squad11 Dec 2028

No hiding place for Illaijh de Ruijter

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

Player ratings11 Dec 2028

One of those days for Jesse Bal

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.10, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Match9 Dec 2028

ADO Den Haag and Willem II 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.

Player ratings11 Dec 2028

Nobody could get near Fabio Kluit

Successful dribbles: 14. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad11 Dec 2028

Mees Eppink 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.

ADO Den Haag count the cost of losing Memphis Depay

20 days, the scan says, and scans are kinder than reality. The fixtures in that window have just become somebody else’s job.

Player ratings28 Aug 2028

Fabio Kluit runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 16. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Match26 Aug 2028

ADO Den Haag and Heracles take a point apiece

It finished 2‑2, and it somehow always looked like it would. One of those afternoons where the table moves less than the tempers.

Squad28 Aug 2028

“I want to play”: Bashan Enoh speaks

“I respect the manager and I am not going to sit here and pretend I am happy.” It is the most common sentence in football and it has never once been the end of a story.

Market28 Aug 2028

Jorrit Smeets brings the grey hairs ADO Den Haag lacked

At 33, he has seen every situation this season can produce, twice. The legs will be managed; the head is the purchase.

Squad21 Aug 2028

Mees Eppink: 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.” ADO Den Haag have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Squad21 Aug 2028

Joël Veltman 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 ADO Den Haag this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad21 Aug 2028

Olivier Aertssen 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.

Squad21 Aug 2028

Costly mistake from Mees Eppink

An error at the back is a moment; an error in goal is a goal. Mees Eppink knows it, the crowd knew it instantly, and there was nobody behind him to make it anything else.

Match19 Aug 2028

ADO Den Haag share the spoils with Vitesse

A 2‑2 draw with Vitesse leaves the dressing room somewhere between relief and regret.

Player ratings21 Aug 2028

Successful dribbles: 13. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Juho Kilo never got going

4.81 on the card. Some afternoons a footballer looks like a man who has only just been introduced to the game, and this was one of them.

Bashan Enoh never got going

Boardroom7 Aug 2028

Pressure builds in the ADO Den Haag boardroom

The directors have stopped offering the manager public warmth. In football that is usually the stage before the short statement.

Match7 Aug 2028

Every point is an argument now for ADO Den Haag

Position 17 and 27 points, and the table gets read bottom-up in this part of town. The calendar has stopped being a schedule and started being a countdown.

Boardroom7 Aug 2028

ADO Den Haag put Interim Coach on notice

The board have said in public what they had been saying in private. Results between now and the next meeting decide it, and everybody in the building knows the arithmetic.

Squad7 Aug 2028

Joël Veltman stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Joël Veltman and ADO Den Haag agree another 2 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad7 Aug 2028

Joël Veltman 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 ADO Den Haag this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad7 Aug 2028

Jesse Bal 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 Jesse Bal trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.

Market7 Aug 2028

The Illaijh de Ruijter question follows ADO Den Haag around

Every press conference now starts and ends the same way: with Illaijh de Ruijter’s future. The manager has run out of new ways to say nothing.

Boardroom7 Aug 2028

ADO Den Haag pull $14.4M back off the table

The money that was there in the summer is not there now. Nobody upstairs calls this a change of ambition, and everybody downstairs reads it as one.

Still nobody in the ADO Den Haag dugout

11 days with the chair empty, a list of names that grows and shrinks by the day, and not one signature on anything. Every week that passes takes the best candidates off it.

Jeroen Houwen keeps ADO Den Haag in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 12 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Match21 Feb 2028

ADO Den Haag are in real trouble now

Position 17, 22 points, and a fixture list with fewer games left in it than excuses. The arithmetic is not cruel yet, but it has stopped being kind.

Squad21 Feb 2028

Joël Veltman: that is not what I was promised

6 matches without a win for ADO Den Haag

Match19 Feb 2028

A bad afternoon for ADO Den Haag against Twente

1‑2 to Twente, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Player ratings21 Feb 2028

Jalen Hawkins in the eights

A performance of 8.78 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

A costly moment from Matteo Waem

One lapse, one goal, and ninety minutes of honest work counting for nothing. That is the job at ADO Den Haag, and it is a cruel one.

Jeroen Houwen hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what ADO Den Haag can pretend not to have heard.

ADO Den Haag sell Sem Westerveld for $2.7M

Sem Westerveld has left for Twente in a $2.7M deal. The accountants are pleased; the supporters are less certain.

ADO Den Haag see off Roda

Three points for ADO Den Haag, 2‑1 the final word against Roda in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Mees Eppink counts the days

“I watch every ADO Den Haag game from here. That says everything about where my head is.” The loan at Lecco runs its course, but his heart never made the trip.

Market10 Jan 2028

ADO Den Haag buy the years ahead of Bashan Enoh

He is 20, and the scouting reports agree on the only line that matters: the ceiling. Signings like this are lottery tickets written by professionals.

Kodai Sano in trouble away from the ground

Every paper's favourite story and every manager's least. What happened is being dealt with internally, which is the phrase clubs use when they would rather nobody asked again.

Squad5 Jul 2027

Raised voices on the training ground at NEC

It involved Kodai Sano, it was loud enough to reach the car park, and it was over by lunch. Dressing rooms run hot; the ones that should worry you are the silent ones.

Market5 Jul 2027

Talks stall between NEC and Guilliano Cairo

“We are a long way apart, and pretending otherwise helps nobody.” Neither side is close, and the calendar is not on the club's side.

Market5 Jul 2027

NEC bring in Sean Neave on loan

A season-long audition: Newcastle United still own him, but the shirt and the minutes are NEC's to give. A loan is a bet both clubs believe they are winning.
