Bundesliga
Wolfsburg fumbles in rehearsal
It is an important fight for the international places. And the win of Bayer Leverkusen. VfL Wolfsburg, however, shows, once again, extremely poor away form. And on Wednesday, the Madrid Real.
Champions League hui, Bundesliga ugh: VfL Wolfsburg conceded at 0:3 (0:1) with Bayer Leverkusen in its tenth defeat of the season. The wolves bring in a foreign stadium with no three points, so that was almost to be expected – is the team of Dieter Hecking this season, but extremely poor away form. That it plays but again much below their potential, is of concern.
Because this will not qualify Wolfsburg for the Europa League. This is particularly bitter, because the VfL players know how nice it is to play internationally: In five days, Real Madrid in the Champions League quarter-finals. That the VfL wins, but against the Spaniards, and ultimately the “king’s class” and thus be back next year for this competition qualify, is more than unlikely.
Dante involved in both goals
But Wolfsburg hangs out in the table in the midfield. And rightly so: In Leverkusen, the visiting team was the much better Team. It was the VfL at the beginning, don’t even come into play. And when the guests arrive-time to a counterattack, it failed always to inaccurate passes.
Therefore, the leadership of the home team was deserved at the break. Wolfsburg’s defender Dante deflected the Ball with the head only half-heartedly. Julian Brandt grabbed the leather, played a brilliant one-two pass with Hakan Calhanoglu and shot the Ball from twelve yards into the left corner – a wonderful combination (25. Minute).
Frustration fouls
On Thursday, the international break came back, made “Chicharito” as a wildcard, equal to a goal
Also in the second goal, Dante was not entirely innocent. He settled the Ball from substitute Javier Hernandez alias Chicharito in a tough but fair fight, and steal. Bellarabi operated the Mexicans, from the left penalty area to the right below (73.) in the right corner. This goal was worth seeing.
After the Two-goal deficit, Wolfsburg was actually only by Fouls. Within just eight minutes, Julian looked at Draxler, Maximilian Arnold and André schurrle Yellow card. The third goal was also a Premierentor: Lars Bender substitute Vladlen Yurchenko scored in the 87. Minute, his first in the Bundesliga.
Allegations against team-mates
After the match, Wolfsburg’s Manager Klaus Allofs was: “Actually, today fit nothing: We were unsure of in the passing game, had a poor fight, and we were not clever enough. Leverkusen won today clearly deserved.”
Julian Draxler was mad, and even made his team-mate’s accusations. “Was Real, apparently, many of the players already in the heads.” Self he took it. In addition, the German national players stressed that you have to look with such a performance is also nothing in the upper box of the table of the Bundesliga. The question of how you want to with such a performance against Real Madrid remains.
