29th matchday
Wolfsburg (dpa) – Wolfsburg’s coach Florian Kohfeldt demanded a reaction from his team after the 0-3 defeat at FC Augsburg before the relegation duel with Arminia Bielefeld.
“Sunday wasn’t good. Unfortunately, we weren’t ready. That was also clear to the team. Bielefeld will therefore be extremely important,” said the Bundesliga club’s coach. The appearance against the table-16. on Saturday (3.30 p.m. / Sky) Kohfeldt sees it as “no final”. “It’s a very important game for both teams.”
The 39-year-old Bundesliga 14 coach. will be back on the bench after his corona infection on Saturday. The 0: 3 in Augsburg was “not a nice TV afternoon” for the trainer in quarantine. “It came as a bit of a surprise,” said Kohfeldt about the performance of his team. “It must have been a slip.”
With a win against Bielefeld, Lower Saxony would take a big step towards staying up. If you lose, the situation becomes more and more critical. “We mustn’t panic,” said Kohfeldt, who can fall back on goalkeeper Koen Casteels. “We have an advantage in the table. Augsburg remains the exception, the team will manage it on Saturday.”
