Squad13 May 2030

16 days out for Patrick Bauer after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. TSG Hoffenheim will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Squad13 May 2030

Words exchanged at TSG Hoffenheim

Oliver Baumann 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.

Squad13 May 2030

Words at TSG Hoffenheim training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Eduardo Quaresma 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.

Squad13 May 2030

Jan Olschowsky stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Jan Olschowsky and TSG Hoffenheim agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

The dugout13 May 2030

Patrick Wimmer has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at TSG Hoffenheim will say this on the record and the team sheets have been saying it for weeks. There is a small group in every squad who get picked when the fixture is difficult, and he has joined it.

The dugout13 May 2030

A promise honoured at TSG Hoffenheim

Something was said to Kevin Medina and then it happened. In this industry that passes for remarkable, and the dressing room noticed faster than any supporter could.

Squad6 May 2030

Patrick Bauer breaks a bone — 24 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 24 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Squad6 May 2030

A falling-out at TSG Hoffenheim

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

Squad6 May 2030

A row about effort at TSG Hoffenheim

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

Squad6 May 2030

A last season at home is what Amath N'Diaye is after

It is sentimental, it is completely genuine, and it is the beginning of a departure nobody has announced. The club can be gracious about it or it can pretend not to have heard.

The dugout6 May 2030

When it matters, Fisnik Asllani plays

It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.

Boardroom6 May 2030

Wages swallow 88% of the TSG Hoffenheim income

Every club pays most of what it earns to its players. Paying nearly all of it is a different arrangement, and it has ended the same way every time it has been tried.

Market6 May 2030

Nobody at TSG Hoffenheim has picked up the phone to Jan Olschowsky

8 months to run and not a word offered. A club that lets the calendar negotiate for it usually ends up losing to the calendar.

Market6 May 2030

The Leon Avdullahu talk will not go away

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

The dugout6 May 2030

Kevin Medina 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 Kevin Medina trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.

Squad29 Apr 2030

Patrick Bauer breaks a bone — 32 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 32 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Squad29 Apr 2030

Oliver Baumann 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 TSG Hoffenheim this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad29 Apr 2030

Patrick Wimmer falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

The dugout29 Apr 2030

When it matters, Bernardo plays

It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.

Market29 Apr 2030

The Wouter Burger talk will not go away

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

The dugout29 Apr 2030

Stanley Nsoki 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 TSG Hoffenheim, and both men came out saying it was fine.

The dugout29 Apr 2030

Kevin Medina has been promised minutes

A conversation in the manager’s office, and a commitment that came out of it. Promises like that are cheap to make and expensive to break, and Kevin Medina has written the date down.

Squad29 Apr 2030

Kevin Medina has settled at TSG Hoffenheim

The shrug has gone, the language is coming, and he now argues in training like somebody who expects to be here next year. Half a signing's value is this and none of it appears on a fee.

The dugout29 Apr 2030

Oliver Baumann keeps his manager's vote

The message was aimed at the stands as much as the dressing room: Oliver Baumann plays, and the argument is closed until the manager decides otherwise.
