Bielefeld (dpa) – The next success of his team on the way to the premier class has made VfL Wolfsburg coach Oliver Glasner rave.
After the well-deserved 3-0 (1-0) at Arminia Bielefeld on Friday evening, the Austrian coach spoke of a “very mature performance” of his soccer team. At the moment you can call yourself a “top team”. The team always stays focused and goes into every game with commitment. “It will be important that we maintain this at this level for the next few weeks,” said Glasner.
The Lower Saxony displaced Frankfurt Eintracht from third place at least until Saturday afternoon, which will then play against Bundesliga leaders FC Bayern. Goal scorer Maximilian Arnold stated with satisfaction at DAZN: “At the moment things are going very well.” Renato Steffen (29th / 47th) and Arnold (54th) scored for the clearly superior VfL, who did not concede a goal in the seventh competitive game in a row.
The Arminia, who celebrated a respectable success with the 3: 3 in Munich last Monday, got stuck in the relegation place 16. Coach Uwe Neuhaus was particularly troubled by the 2-0 draw shortly after the break. In the situation, his team was “too sleepy”. “The mistakes will be punished immediately.” That must now be worked on. The guests had used the moment when the Bielefeld defense left striker Wout Weghorst criminally alone with a free kick by Arnold. Ortega fended off the Dutchman’s weak shot at the feet of Steffen, who easily scored the 2-0.
At least Arnold’s strong long-range shot for his 13th long-distance goal in the Bundesliga was the preliminary decision. Arminia have now conceded 14 goals in the past four games – and next weekend the away game at Borussia Dortmund is on.
