Squad

Caleb Kramer breaks a bone — 15 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 15 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Player ratings

Nothing got past Jari Vlak

Headers, blocks, tackles, interceptions — 24 of them, and not one goal behind him. The sort of performance that never makes a highlight reel and wins football matches.

Squad

Jari Vlak 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 ADO Den Haag this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Ilias Azaouagh is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 18 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.

Squad

Myron Boadu 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.

Player ratings

One of those days for Myron Boadu

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 9.38, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Loan watch

Milan Hokke wants to come home

“I did not go to PSV to sit and watch. I want to come back to ADO Den Haag and fight for my place.” 2 appearances in 9 matches say the rest.

Match

Myron Boadu the difference as ADO Den Haag beat Zwolle

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Myron Boadu. 1‑0 against Zwolle, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

Player ratings

Luka Reischl runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 17. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Match

A European lesson for ADO Den Haag

0‑1 against Rapid Wien. 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.

Squad

Caleb Kramer 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.

The terraces

The ground has had enough

“We travel everywhere and we get this.” 11 of the 31 senior players heard it walking off, and the ones who did not hear it were not playing.

Squad

Real improvement from Niek Schiks at ADO Den Haag

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Niek Schiks is 22, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Squad

Tempers go at ADO Den Haag

Myron Boadu 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.

Match

A bad afternoon for ADO Den Haag against Feyenoord

1‑3 to Feyenoord, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Squad

Myron Boadu 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 ratings

A masterclass from Myron Boadu

Marked 8.36 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.

Boardroom

101% of the income goes out in wages at ADO Den Haag

Every club in football 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 somebody has tried it.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Player ratings

A debut Illaijh de Ruijter will not forget — 7.37

There is exactly one of these per career and it does not usually go like this. 0 on the scoresheet, 7.37 beside the name, and a crowd that had never seen him before chanting it by the end.

Market

ADO Den Haag turn down Twente for Finn de Bruin

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Myron Boadu

Successful dribbles: 25. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad

Myron Boadu 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 ADO Den Haag this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

No hiding place for Pascal Mulder

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Pascal Mulder, and the manager let it.

Player ratings

Juho Kilo shuts the door

Defensive actions: 19, and a clean sheet at the end of it. A centre-half's best afternoons look like nothing happening, which is precisely the point.

Squad

Mohammed Ibn Alabbar pulls a muscle — 16 days out

The injury that keeps coming back, keeps being rushed back from, and quietly costs more careers than the dramatic ones. 16 days is the estimate; the honest figure depends on whether anybody is patient.

Player ratings

The afternoon belonged to Jari Vlak

A mark of 7.76, and nobody in the ground would argue with it. He was involved in everything that mattered and most of what did not.

Squad

Pascal Mulder is still paying for one afternoon at ADO Den Haag

Nobody will confirm this and nothing else explains the last month of selections. A costly error buys a player a period of being second choice that is always longer than the error was.

In brief
