Stijn van Gassel keeps Excelsior in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 10 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Match21 Aug 2027

Excelsior taken apart

0‑4 to Feyenoord, and it was every bit as bad as the number suggests. There are defeats you argue about and defeats you apologise for; this was the second kind.

Market23 Aug 2027

Gonçalo Borges 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 Excelsior can pretend not to have heard.

Business is business: Calvin Raatsie goes

AZ paid $2.0M and Excelsior took it, which is the whole story in one sentence. The longer version involves a wage budget and will be told all season.

Squad23 Aug 2027

Joop Oosterhof is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 22 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.

Squad23 Aug 2027

Words at Excelsior training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Gonçalo Borges 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 Aug 2027

The manager makes an example of Stijn van Gassel

“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.

Boardroom23 Aug 2027

Nobody left the Excelsior dressing room in a hurry

The door stayed shut a long time after the final whistle. What was said in there is between them; whether it worked is between them and Saturday.

Squad17 May 2027

Gonçalo Borges 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 Excelsior this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad17 May 2027

A row about effort at Excelsior

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

The dugout17 May 2027

Lennard Hartjes 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.

Market17 May 2027

The Noah Naujoks question follows Excelsior around

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

Market17 May 2027

The shop window has Gyan de Regt in it

Excelsior have let the market know Gyan de Regt can be had. No price in the advert, but everyone in the trade knows roughly what it says.

Squad17 May 2027

Kane Miardjo: “I am not a substitute”

“I have done everything asked of me in training and it has not changed a thing on a Saturday.” The most familiar complaint in football, and one Excelsior will have to answer with minutes or with a transfer.

The dugout17 May 2027

Calvin Raatsie 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 Excelsior, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Squad17 May 2027

The training reports on Rick Meissen are not good

A bad Saturday is forgiven; a bad Tuesday is chosen. Standards have slipped and in a building where everybody watches everybody, it has been noticed.

A knee injury of the worst kind for Irakli Yegoian

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

Market19 Apr 2027

Gyan de Regt 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 Excelsior can pretend not to have heard.

Kane Miardjo keeps the receipts

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

Squad19 Apr 2027

A falling-out at Excelsior

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

Squad19 Apr 2027

Words at Excelsior training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Aymen Sliti 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.

Lennard Hartjes 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.

Market19 Apr 2027

Talks stall between Excelsior and Lennard Hartjes

“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.

Lennard Hartjes: “I am not a substitute”
