VfL Wolfsburg resumed training after the turn of the year and wants to continue its successful streak.
“We mustn’t slow down the euphoria under any circumstances,” Captain Maximilian Arnold was quoted as saying by “Kicker”. The seventh-placed player in the Bundesliga was in good shape before the World Cup was interrupted and has been unbeaten in eight league games.
Shortly before the start of the training camp in Portugal, which is scheduled between January 5th and 13th, coach Niko Kovac asked to get back on the football pitch. Attacker Lukas Nmecha, who wanted to be ready to start again at the start, still has to be patient and work individually after his knee injury.
According to information from “Kicker”, his commitment to restart the league on January 21 against SC Freiburg (3:30 p.m. / Sky) is questionable.
In addition to fine sporting work, the team should also move closer together in the training camp. “The social aspect is more important there than during the season, when everyone goes home after training,” sports director Marcel Schäfer was quoted as saying by the “Braunschweiger Zeitung”.
