Match19 Dec 2028

Sparta Rotterdam bow out of the cup

Twente go through and Sparta Rotterdam go home, 1‑2 the scoreline that did it. The dressing room will call the league the priority now, because that is what dressing rooms say.

The dugout25 Dec 2028

Ricardo-Felipe Schwarz: 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.” Sparta Rotterdam have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Squad25 Dec 2028

Simon Buggea 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 Sparta Rotterdam this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad25 Dec 2028

Words at Sparta Rotterdam training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Shunsuke Mito 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.

Player ratings25 Dec 2028

Shunsuke Mito beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 17. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

The dugout25 Dec 2028

The manager makes an example of Adam Tahaui

“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.

Market25 Dec 2028

Alvaro Henry told to find a new club

“They were honest with me, and I would rather know.” Alvaro Henry has been informed he is not in the manager's thinking at Sparta Rotterdam.

The dugout25 Dec 2028

Mitchell van Bergen has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Sparta Rotterdam 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 dugout25 Dec 2028

The view from the dugout

“We did not lose. Some weeks that is all you get, and I would rather have the point than not.” Patrick Brobbey chose the glass-half-full version of 0‑0; the supporters left with the other one.

Match22 Nov 2028

Sparta Rotterdam through in the cup

A 2‑0 win over Dordrecht, and the draw for the next round can be watched with some interest for once.

Player ratings27 Nov 2028

What a way to start for Moreno Gompel — 7.84

0 on the scoresheet on his first appearance and a mark of 7.84 beside it. Most debuts are got through; this one was enjoyed, by him and by everybody watching it.

The dugout27 Nov 2028

Liam Oetoehganal: 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.” Sparta Rotterdam have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Squad27 Nov 2028

A falling-out at Sparta Rotterdam

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

Match25 Nov 2028

Promise David’s goal not enough for Sparta Rotterdam

Promise David scored, and precious little else went right: 1‑2 to Heracles, and a quiet walk to the dressing room.

The dugout27 Nov 2028

The manager makes an example of Egil Selvik

“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.

The terraces27 Nov 2028

Sparta Rotterdam supporters have found a favourite in Kevin Kers

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 22-year-old it feels ownership of. Kevin Kers has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

Squad27 Nov 2028

A row about effort at Sparta Rotterdam

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

Squad27 Nov 2028

Sparta Rotterdam count the cost of losing Sem Nobel

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