Now the wolves want to learn from the very best!
After five winless games in a row, the Lower Saxony’s heads are smoking. We are looking for a return to the winning team. Since the first game in the Champions League (0-0 in Lille) and the associated start of the double burden, the worm has been in it.
Maximilian Arnold (27) did not want to use this extra work as an excuse after the Gladbach bankruptcy (1: 3): “Shit with too many games. We laid the foundation for this last year, we absolutely want to play internationally, there is no excuse. “

His sports director Marcel Schäfer (37) sees it the same way: “We want to pass the double burden at a top level. You have to be there 100 percent mentally. Unfortunately we weren’t against Gladbach. But it is precisely this mental strength that we have to learn. “
That’s why the wolves now want to copy a lot from the Bavarians. They master the triple load almost every year with flying colors.
“What the players achieve every year is remarkable,” enthuses Schäfer. “This bite, this mental strength of always wanting more, and the positive obsession is unbelievable and can be used as a role model.”
Wolfsburg wants to learn from Bavaria
“We have to find the balance between the Champions League and the Bundesliga. Because even in the Bundesliga you have to be wide awake from the first second of every game and push your upper limits, ”explains Schäfer. “You can take a look at something at FC Bayern.”
Former Bayern star Mark van Bommel should have internalized all of these qualities. Now he is working meticulously to get his wolves back on the road to success. He should remember his perfect start to the season. The Dutchman had the best start of all VfL coaches with four wins from four games.
What needs to get better to become a winning team again? “We continue to work hard on ourselves. That is why consistency is a keyword that has room for improvement, ”says Schäfer.
This applies to both the offensive and the defensive. In the last three competitive games, the wolves conceded seven hits.
“On the defensive we have to go back to where we were. It must be incredibly difficult for the opponents to score goals against us again and it must be uncomfortable to score against us, ”said Schäfer.
In order to tackle that, the ex-professional demands: “We have to come back to celebrating defensive actions such as a hit. We were there at the beginning of the season and that’s where we want to go again. “
