Ruffle for Baku

Wolfsburg’s sporting director Jörg Schmadtke has again placed himself in front of coach Florian Kohfeldt after the 1: 6 debacle at Borussia Dortmund. “I’m assuming that we’ll keep the class in this constellation and go into the coming season,” said the 58-year-old after the fourth-highest Bundesliga defeat in the club’s history at the “table footballquoted. The next home game against FSV Mainz 05 on Friday evening is “a trend-setting game of great importance. We still need points. I hope that the team shows a reaction again and I also think that it will come.”

The “Wolves” started this season as Champions League participants and are 13th in the Bundesliga four games before the end of the season. but only six points ahead of relegation place 16. “We won’t be able to achieve lasting stability until the end of the season,” said Schmadtke. You can now only ensure that this season “has the smallest possible damage”. For comparison: Last year, Lower Saxony had 57 points after 30 match days, currently there are 34 – VfL is having its worst season since 2017/18, when they held the class through relegation.

Wolfsburg’s Schmadtke rebukes Baku: “Maybe I’m from a different generation”

Ridle Baku had recently compared to the “picture“As a possible reason for the poor performance this season, a lower hunger for success was mentioned. “You can say that maybe you were a bit fed up from the previous season and made one or two percentage points less. You have to admit that to yourself to a certain extent.” A statement that “wonders” Schmadtke. “Maybe I’m from a different generation. We always tried to give everything. Otherwise you couldn’t pass.”

Before the upcoming duel against Mainz, unlike before, for example before the game against Bielefeld (4-0), he will not address the team. “I think the game in Dortmund was so clear that it doesn’t need anything like that. If you don’t start with yourself now, words won’t help you either.”
