Boardroom

Pressure builds in the ADO Den Haag boardroom

The directors have stopped offering the manager public warmth. In football that is usually the stage before the short statement.

Market

Nigel Thomas 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 The request is on a desk at ADO Den Haag, and it is not being withdrawn.

Market

ADO Den Haag sell Kilian Nikiéma for $2.6M

Kilian Nikiéma has left for AZ in a $2.6M deal. The accountants are pleased; the supporters are less certain.

Market

Tim Danhof has one foot out of the door

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

Squad

Tempers go at ADO Den Haag

Harrison Reed 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.

Market

Twente expected to open talks for Donát Bárány

Both sides expect a conversation in the coming days. ADO Den Haag will name a price, and everything after that is arithmetic.

Squad

Words at ADO Den Haag training over how hard people work

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

Transfer targets

Door shut on Andries Noppert

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

Squad

This league is too small for Kodai Sano

He is doing things on a Saturday afternoon that nobody around him can answer, which is flattering for about one season and a problem after that. ADO Den Haag will not keep him by pretending otherwise.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Othniël Raterink

Successful dribbles: 22. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad

Words exchanged at ADO Den Haag

Matteo Waem 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.

Squad

A row about effort at ADO Den Haag

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

Match

The goals have deserted ADO Den Haag

3 matches, no goals, and a training ground that has tried everything. It will end — droughts always do — but nobody at ADO Den Haag can tell you which week it ends in.

Squad

Tim Danhof out for 19 days

The medical room confirms 19 days on the sidelines for Tim Danhof, and a plan built around him now has to be rebuilt.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Jan Žambůrek

“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.

Player ratings

The afternoon belonged to Luuk Wouters

A mark of 7.19, and nobody in the ground would argue with it. He was involved in everything that mattered and most of what did not.

The dugout

The manager’s verdict

“I am frustrated, honestly. We did enough to win and we did not win.” Memphis Klaassen was not hiding it after 0‑0, and nobody in the ADO Den Haag dressing room was either.

The dugout

The plan did not have a place for Jesse Bal

Nobody at ADO Den Haag is suggesting he is out of form. The manager simply wanted somebody with a different set of qualities for ninety specific minutes, and there is nothing a player can train to fix that.
