The Heracles Sentinel

From our football correspondent Crisis

Market

Mimeirhel Benita 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 Heracles can pretend not to have heard.

Player ratings

Erik Ahlstrand beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 25. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Transfer targets

Door shut on Divock Origi

Heracles asked and KAA Gent said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Match

Willem II take the points off Heracles

Beaten 0‑1, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Squad

Tempers go at Heracles

Daan Visser 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.

The dugout

The view from the dugout

“We will look at it, we will learn from it, and we go again.” The three sentences every manager keeps for a 0‑1 defeat, delivered by Rick De Jong to a room that had heard them before.

Transfer targets

Heracles try to borrow Bruno Ogbus

SC Freiburg have been asked whether they would lend him. Loans are agreed quickly or not at all, and this one will be one or the other by the weekend.

Transfer targets

Heracles try to borrow Wassim Bouziane

AZ have been asked whether they would lend him. Loans are agreed quickly or not at all, and this one will be one or the other by the weekend.

Squad

No place for Daan Visser in the new shape

He is not being dropped. There is simply nowhere in the formation Heracles are playing to put a man who does what he does, which is a harder thing to be told than any team sheet.

In brief
