Marked for Per van Loon

Match24 Nov 2032

Cup progress for VfB Stuttgart

A 3‑0 win over SC Freiburg, a place in the next round, and the quiet arithmetic every supporter does on the walk home: how many more until a final?

Market29 Nov 2032

Kaio Jorge puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at VfB Stuttgart, and it is not being withdrawn.

Player ratings29 Nov 2032

Kaio Jorge scores twice — 8.81

Two goals and a mark of 8.81 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Player ratings29 Nov 2032

Eliesse Ben Seghir runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 23. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Market29 Nov 2032

Nesta Elphege has one foot out of the door

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

Squad29 Nov 2032

Eliesse Ben Seghir 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 VfB Stuttgart this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad29 Nov 2032

A row about effort at VfB Stuttgart

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

Market29 Nov 2032

The Joane Gadou talk will not go away

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

Match27 Nov 2032

VfB Stuttgart get the job done against Union Berlin

A 2‑0 win over Union Berlin, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

Player ratings24 Nov 2031

Per van Loon was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 41. 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.

Squad24 Nov 2031

A knee injury of the worst kind for Romain Del Castillo

121 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. VfB Stuttgart lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Match19 Nov 2031

Cup progress for VfB Stuttgart

A 1‑0 win over FC Augsburg, a place in the next round, and the quiet arithmetic every supporter does on the walk home: how many more until a final?

Player ratings24 Nov 2031

Marius Wolf, 36, rolls back the years — 8.36

There is an age at which every good afternoon gets described as a throwback, which is unfair and also accurate. 8.36 at 36, and nobody on the pitch was better.

Market24 Nov 2031

Only the photograph left for Rodrigo Ribeiro

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Rodrigo Ribeiro will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around VfB Stuttgart the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Squad24 Nov 2031

Ibrahim Maza 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 VfB Stuttgart this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match22 Nov 2031

VfB Stuttgart make it 3 in a row

Momentum is a hard thing to buy and an easy thing to lose, and right now VfB Stuttgart have 3 straight wins of it.

Squad24 Nov 2031

Words at VfB Stuttgart training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Jack Hinshelwood 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.

Match22 Nov 2031

VfB Stuttgart make home a hard place to visit

9 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.

In brief
