Squad

A knee injury of the worst kind for Luuk Wouters

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

Match

The cup run ends for ADO Den Haag

1‑3 against Heracles, and the road stops here. Cup exits are quick deaths — no second leg, no next week, just the league from now until May.

Squad

A fracture rules Levy Varisli out for 44 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason ADO Den Haag will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Match

The wait goes on for ADO Den Haag

7 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

Market

Anton Shamin asks to leave ADO Den Haag

“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.

Player ratings

Cameron Peupion was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 24. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

Squad

Tempers go at ADO Den Haag

Thijs van Leeuwen 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.

Squad

A muscle injury and 14 days out for Bas Aké

The most common injury in the game and the most rushed back from. ADO Den Haag will quote 14 days and will be careful with it, because the second one is always worse than the first.

Boardroom

Wages eat 101% of everything ADO Den Haag earn

There is a figure at which a wage bill stops being ambitious and becomes the reason nothing else is possible, and this club has reached it. Nothing is left over for a transfer, a stand or a rainy afternoon.

Transfer targets

Door shut on Dylan Vente

ADO Den Haag asked and Heerenveen 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

Jonas Jensen-Abbew stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Jonas Jensen-Abbew and ADO Den Haag agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Boardroom

2 academy players handed senior numbers at ADO Den Haag

The morning the pathway stops being a brochure and becomes a team sheet. Most of them will not be here in three years; all of them have already done the hard part, which was getting to today.

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.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Jonas Jensen-Abbew

“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.

Market

ADO Den Haag promote Bas Aké from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Bas Aké has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Market

Bas Van Dijk steps up from the ADO Den Haag academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Bas Van Dijk has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

Market

ADO Den Haag promote Kenneth Berghuis from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Kenneth Berghuis has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Market

Marten Dumfries steps up from the ADO Den Haag academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Marten Dumfries has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.
