Berlin (AP) – Wolfsburg’s coach Florian Kohfeldt is looking forward to working with Max Kruse again. And sees the fact that they already know and appreciate each other as a plus.
“I think it’s actually an advantage that Max and I know pretty well what we have to think of each other and that he probably knows best how I want to play football,” said Kohfeldt (39) on TV -Transmitter Sky. On the other hand, he knows pretty well what Kruse needs to work well.
Bundesliga club VfL Wolfsburg had signed Kruse from 1. FC Union Berlin. Kohfeldt already worked with the striker (33) at Werder Bremen.
Hierarchically, Kruse is an extremely established Bundesliga player with a lot of experience, who brings an incredibly good quality with him, “namely that he is very stress-resistant, that he definitely wants to have the ball and play football on Sundays, when it’s not training but a game wants, who organizes, who speaks. And accordingly, of course, he is also placed quite high up in our hierarchy, “said Kohfeldt.
But Kruse will certainly not be a favorite coach. “There is no preference on my part, everyone knows that. And by the way, Max is not the type of person who is known in a dressing room as the favorite coach, so to speak. He has his own opinion and that’s a good thing. And he expresses it to everyone, including me,” said Kohfeldt, who did not rule out Kruse being in the starting XI against SpVgg Greuther Fürth on Sunday.
