Jari Vlak shuts the door
Defensive actions: 29, and a clean sheet at the end of it. A centre-half's best afternoons look like nothing happening, which is precisely the point.

Milan Hokke hands in a written request

ADO Den Haag sign Mees Eppink, one for the future
Mees Eppink is 20, and ADO Den Haag have signed him for the player he will be rather than the one he is. The first team can wait; the point of a deal like this is the years it buys.

The manager makes an example of Tom van Weert
“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.

ADO Den Haag sign Lynden Edhart, one for the future
