Coach Kovac praises the Wolfsburg team – rumors about Maxwel Cornet again

Again rumors about Cornet

VfL Wolfsburg would like to continue their upward trend on Saturday in the home game against Borussia Mönchengladbach. “We have the tenth game tomorrow. If we split it into two stages, then we only got two points in the first five games and now we’re already on seven (in the second five games/ed.). With tomorrow’s game we could get to ten. That would be a very good result,” said coach Niko Kovac on Friday.

After his sometimes harsh criticism in the first weeks of the season, Kovac now praised his team’s development. “We have improved in many areas in the last few weeks. In terms of football, we have certain things that we can do even better. We could also expand on the exploitation of opportunities,” said the former Bayern and Frankfurt coach. But: “The team is making progress in the technical and tactical area, so we are now more satisfied with the development. At the moment there is a team that is doing it properly. This is how we imagine it.”

Kovac will celebrate his 51st birthday on the day of the Gladbach game (Saturday, 3.30 p.m.). He said of the opponent: “It’s a strong team and maybe that will suit us too. A team that wants to play, that comes less from physique and more from technology. Maybe that suits us.”

It is difficult to make a prediction about the upcoming opponent based on the last results, says TM user and Wolfsburg fan “RW_Dennis”: “It will be a very difficult game. Gladbach sometimes a game of light and then also a game of shadow, but they are still very dangerous. The Leipzig and Cologne games should be a warning to us. A draw would also be satisfactory for me.”

“Image” once again brings Cornet into contact with VfL Wolfsburg

Meanwhile, the “picture“ on Friday about a potential winter signing for Wolfsburg, which has repeatedly been associated with a move to Lower Saxony in recent years: Maxwel Cornet. The 26-year-old left winger switched from Premier League relegated Burnley FC to West Ham United in the summer for 20.7 million euros, where he is still under contract until 2027. So far, however, the Ivorian international has only played a very minor role, spending just 86 minutes in five league games. In the Conference League and the associated qualification, however, he convinced with five assists in four games. The “Bild” speculates about a possible loan, since Wolfsburg’s interest has flared up again.
