Matchday | VfL Wolfsburg will face German record champions Bayern Munich in the last first round match in 2021. Nobody expects anything from the battered wolves. But Julian Nagelsmann warns and compares VfL with a battered boxer.
The cards before this game are clearly distributed. VfL Wolfsburg is in a deep crisis and is going into this duel with FC Bayern Munich as an absolute outsider. Most recently there were six defeats in a row and one crash in the league. Bavaria, on the other hand, is enthroned in first place, as befits its standing. Actually a clear idea, isn’t it? Not quite, thinks Bayern coach Julian Nagelsmann. “It depends a lot on the way you perform when your opponent is in a crisis. This saying that a battered boxer is always very dangerous, maybe a bit sucked, but basically that’s a little bit true. “
