Player ratings11 Oct 2027

Sami Ouaissa runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 27. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Player ratings11 Oct 2027

Nick Fichtinger pops up at the right end — 7.99

7.99, 1 on the scoresheet, and the specific comedy of a back-four player celebrating like somebody who does this every week. He does not, and that is exactly why the ground reacted the way it did.

Squad11 Oct 2027

Tempers go at Zwolle

Geoffrey Kondogbia 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 dugout11 Oct 2027

Nick Viergever 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.

Squad11 Oct 2027

Words at Zwolle training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Thijs Oosting 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.

Squad11 Oct 2027

Seth Annink signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Seth Annink commits to Zwolle for another 4 years.

Match9 Oct 2027

Honours even between Zwolle and ADO Den Haag

1‑1, and both dressing rooms will call it two points lost. A draw that asked plenty of questions and answered none of them.

The dugout11 Oct 2027

Simon Graves 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 Simon Graves trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.

The dugout11 Oct 2027

Marten Berghuis: “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 1‑1 draw, said the honest thing and then went to say it again inside.

Market12 Jul 2027

Seth Annink has said yes to Borneo

The last thing about a transfer that is still about the player is his signature on his own terms, and it is there. Zwolle have lost him in all but the paperwork.

Market12 Jul 2027

Zwolle say no — this time

The offer from NEC for Damian van der Haar was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Market12 Jul 2027

Furkan Ulutaş 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 Zwolle, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad12 Jul 2027

Tom de Graaff stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Tom de Graaff and Zwolle agree another 5 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad12 Jul 2027

Denso Kasius 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 Zwolle this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad12 Jul 2027

A row about effort at Zwolle

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

Transfer targets12 Jul 2027

Door shut on Paulo Rudisill

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

Squad12 Jul 2027

Zwolle count the cost of losing Wieger Beens

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

The dugout12 Jul 2027

Tom de Graaff 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.

Market7 Jun 2027

Odysseus Velanas agrees terms with AZ

The clubs have settled the fee and he has settled his wages. What remains is a medical and a photograph, and around Zwolle people have started saying his name in the past tense.

Market7 Jun 2027

Nick Fichtinger 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 Zwolle, and it is not being withdrawn.

Market7 Jun 2027

Utrecht watching Sherel Floranus

The interest is real enough to have reached print. Zwolle have said nothing, which in a transfer window is its own kind of answer.

Squad7 Jun 2027

Words exchanged at Zwolle

Younes Namli and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Squad7 Jun 2027

The step up is real for Seth Annink

At 19 he is doing things this season that he could not do last season, and doing them every week. Form comes and goes; this has stayed long enough to be called something else.

Squad7 Jun 2027

Words at Zwolle training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Thijs Oosting 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.

Boardroom7 Jun 2027

Julian van Esdonk will join Zwolle for nothing

The paperwork is done long before the player is. Julian van Esdonk has agreed terms to come here when his current deal runs out, which means Zwolle have spent a summer's transfer budget on a phone call.

Transfer targets7 Jun 2027

Door shut on Elijah Dijkstra

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

The dugout7 Jun 2027

No hiding place for Odysseus Velanas

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

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Market10 May 2027

Nick Fichtinger asks to leave Zwolle

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

The dugout10 May 2027

Seth Annink keeps the receipts

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

Market10 May 2027

Only the photograph left for Ibrahim Cissoko

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Ibrahim Cissoko will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Zwolle the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Squad10 May 2027

Words exchanged at Zwolle

Younes Namli and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

The dugout10 May 2027

No hiding place for Vince Gino Dekker

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

The dugout10 May 2027

Odysseus Velanas gets picked when it counts

Every manager keeps a short list in his head of the men he wants on the pitch when the stakes rise, and it is never published. The team sheets for the big afternoons say Odysseus Velanas is on it.

Market10 May 2027

Still no signature from Nick Viergever

5 months left and the two sides are nowhere near each other. Every week this drags on takes money off what Zwolle could get for him.

The dugout10 May 2027

A door opens for Sherel Floranus

He asked about his future and was given an answer with minutes in it. The manager has now made a promise in a building where promises are remembered, and the clock on it has started.
