In the first half, the VfLers kept up well, after just under eleven minutes, the guests were able to record a two-goal lead 6: 4. Around three minutes before the break, Anna Fanslau received a “dubious” time penalty, as Bült says. “She broke our necks a bit, and that caused us to lose our footing.” Kirchhof pulled away on three goals, with 11:14 it went into halftime. Until then, the Wolfsburg had stuck to the instructions of the coach. Bült: “We implemented what we trained. We played patiently and compactly, moved the opposing defense and only looked for deals when we were well positioned. “

In the second half, the insecure VfL showed from previous games. “We played too impatiently at the front, moved the defense too little and picked up too little pace,” said Bült, who does not blame his team. At the start of the league, VfL had lost 19:31 against Kirchhof in their own hall, which was not yet played, so Bült. “Kirchhof’s regular goalkeeper wasn’t there either, we are playing with an incredibly young squad and have played against a team made up of full professionals.” . “The development is important” because it is even beneficial that experienced teams like Kirchhof mercilessly point out their mistakes to the VfLers.
The 17-year-old Celina Bielfeld, who moved from the A-youth of the TV Hannover-Badenstedt to Wolfsburg, joined this young group on Wednesday. The left-hander contributed two hits against the churchyard. “She is incredibly fast and made a great game,” said Bült happily, who also praised his goalkeeper Lara Ruppelt. “She played an outstanding game and was a very strong support for us.” In the last game of the year, the Wolfsburg players received PSV Recklinghausen, who were ninth in the table, on Saturday.
VfL: Ruppelt, Friede, Bielfeld (2), Matte, Neumann, Kohn, Kusian (6), Wöhner (3), Holzkamp (2), Fanslau, Wagner (2), Witzke (4), Liebing (1), Meyer, Kosub .
