The 3-1 defeat at VfL Bochum further dampened the mood at VfL Wolfsburg. However, there should still be no discussion about Niko Kovac.
Does Niko Kovac have to worry about his job at VfL Wolfsburg? Apparently not yet. “We analyze the games together intensively and want to master the situation together. That’s why there is no discussion about the coaching question,” Sebastian Schindzielorz made clear on Saturday afternoon (via Bild).
The Wolves’ sports director wanted to leave no doubt that VfL continues to fully trust in Kovac and that the future will be fought for together.
The starting point for the need for this clarification: the deserved 3-1 defeat at VfL Bochum. While the hosts who won on Saturday afternoon are actually considered candidates for possible relegation, the losing guests are actually longing for international competition. But none of these different requirements were apparent in the game – on the contrary.
“We didn’t do anything in the first half when it came to tackling. “We were always too slow, not energetic enough and didn’t win the second balls,” said Kovac, criticizing his team’s performance. He also accused the team of having an inappropriate attitude: “It’s about showing more passion. Not all players accepted the duel in the first half and looked for the duel.”
A dangerous starting position, but one that Schindzielorz does not want to overestimate. The loud criticism from the fans, who said, among other things: “We want to see you fight!” when saying goodbye to the team after the game. On the way he admitted. “The fans definitely have a good feeling. The criticism is completely justified and we have to face it and do better,” said the sports director diplomatically.
The fact that criticism of Kovac continues to increase should not be a factor for the time being. The problem: The current trend is by no means in favor of the trainer. There has only been one win in the last seven league games, but the game in Bochum was the fifth defeat in this period.
