The TSG Hoffenheim Post

From our football correspondent Upbeat

Match17 Sep 2029

TSG Hoffenheim take KAA Gent apart in Europe

3‑0. Nights like this are why clubs spend decades trying to qualify for this competition, and they arrive perhaps twice in that time. Everybody who was in the ground will describe it badly for years.

Squad24 Sep 2029

Andrej Kramarić breaks a bone — 35 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 35 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Player ratings24 Sep 2029

Both of them Bryan Zaragoza's — 8.28

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.28, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

The dugout24 Sep 2029

Manuel Roffo: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” TSG Hoffenheim have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Player ratings24 Sep 2029

A defender's goal wins it for TSG Hoffenheim — 7.95

1 for Wouter Burger, marked 7.95, and a centre-half's name in the part of the report he normally only reaches by mistake. He will not be allowed to forget it in the dressing room for a month.

Squad24 Sep 2029

Tempers go at TSG Hoffenheim

Robert Moreau 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.

Match22 Sep 2029

Nobody wants to play TSG Hoffenheim right now

3 wins in a row changes how opponents warm up: quieter, more glances across. Runs end, everybody knows that — but nobody in this dressing room is planning for it.

Squad24 Sep 2029

Bryan Zaragoza 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.

Squad24 Sep 2029

The step up is real for David Busch

At 16 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.

From our football correspondent Steady

Squad9 Oct 2028

Felix Platte damages knee ligaments — 44 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 44 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Match3 Oct 2028

A European lesson for TSG Hoffenheim

1‑2 against Braga. Continental football is unforgiving about the things a domestic league lets a side get away with, and this was a night spent finding out which of those the club still has.

Squad9 Oct 2028

A fracture rules Sebastian Neumann out for 18 days

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

The dugout9 Oct 2028

David Busch: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” TSG Hoffenheim have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Squad9 Oct 2028

Bernardo signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Bernardo and TSG Hoffenheim agree another 2 years.

Squad9 Oct 2028

Words exchanged at TSG Hoffenheim

Robert Moreau 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 dugout9 Oct 2028

Oliver Baumann 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.

Player ratings9 Oct 2028

Bryan Zaragoza was on a different afternoon to everybody else

8.22. There are performances a supporter describes to somebody who was not there and cannot quite convey; this was one, and the number does not help either.

The dugout9 Oct 2028

TSG Hoffenheim pick somebody else ahead of Bernardo

There is no complaint available here and everybody involved knows it, which does not make the walk to the bench any shorter. Form is the only currency in football that cannot be borrowed against.
