Match28 Apr 2029

16 unbeaten for Hannover 96

Hard to beat is not the same as winning, but 16 matches without defeat is a foundation Hannover 96 did not have in the autumn.

Luis Navarrete damages knee ligaments — 70 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 70 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

A row about effort at Hannover 96

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

Squad30 Apr 2029

Home is on Othmane El Idrissi's mind

“Some mornings you wake up and you are still a long way from everything you know.” It is not the football and it never was; Hannover 96 are dealing with a man who wants a different country.

Nobody could get near Jonas Sterner

Successful dribbles: 16. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Taycan Kurt wants to come home

“I did not go to Eintracht Braunschweig to sit and watch. I want to come back to Hannover 96 and fight for my place.” 2 appearances in 11 matches say the rest.

A promise honoured at Hannover 96

Something was said to Jonas Sterner and then it happened. In this industry that passes for remarkable, and the dressing room noticed faster than any supporter could.

The manager makes an example of Tino Kusanović

“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.

Daniel Martin: “We have to be better”

“It is not the end of the world and it is not good enough. Both of those are true.” The manager, after a 0‑0 draw, said the honest thing and then went to say it again inside.

The Hannover 96 Chronicle

From our football correspondent Upbeat

Match21 Apr 2029

Hannover 96 make home a hard place to visit

23 without defeat on their own grass. The pitch has not changed; the crowd has — louder earlier, and quicker to sense when the opposition would rather be somewhere else.

Squad23 Apr 2029

The knee: Maurice Neubauer out for 16 days

16 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. Hannover 96 lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

Match21 Apr 2029

Whatever happens, Hannover 96 do not lose

15 games unbeaten now. Some were earned and some were survived, but a habit is forming — and habits are the hardest thing in football to play against.

Match21 Apr 2029

Hannover 96 leave it late against VfL Bochum

Ninety minutes of very little, and then everything at once. The winner arrived in the 89th, and VfL Bochum spent what remained of the match appealing to the referee rather than chasing the ball.

Market23 Apr 2029

Mustapha Bundu has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Hannover 96 they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Squad23 Apr 2029

A falling-out at Hannover 96

Virgil Ghiţă and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Squad23 Apr 2029

Brent Jonkers arrives at the club he grew up with

Every footballer has an answer to the question about his boyhood club, and most of them never get to act on it. Brent Jonkers has, at Hannover 96, and the first month will show what that does to a man.

Squad23 Apr 2029

Words at Hannover 96 training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Kaan Kairinen 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.

The dugout23 Apr 2029

No hiding place for Noah Pesch

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