Of course, Roland Virkus (55) followed Borussia’s games before his promotion. But the 0: 6 in Dortmund, which he witnessed for the first time on the bench, showed him clearly where the construction sites are.
And now he wants to tackle it immediately!
Virkus names the components that VfL is currently suffering from: “The mood in the team is actually good, we are nice and nice and have an enormous quality – but we are too quiet. Of course we’ll see how we can add to the squad in a meaningful way.”
Virkus would prefer to be a loud guy like ex-defense boss Martin Stranzl: “Martin wasn’t even the most brilliant footballer. But as a guy and with his clear speech in the dressing room and on the pitch, he gave Borussia a lot.”
Other analyzed deficits? Virkus: “In all parts of the team, speed and running strength have become so incredibly important. You need players who can use it to fix things on the pitch for others.”
Example Christoph Kramer (31): A brilliant communicator but lacks pace. A new graduation striker is also on the shopping list. Virkus: “Ultimately, the executor quota is decisive.”
