Team News VfL Wolfsburg
VfL Wolfsburg was hit hard by injuries again last weekend. Besides the long-term injured Demann, Dijkstra and Küver. Tommy Stroot also had to do without Marina Hegering due to knee problems and Luca Papp due to muscular problems. Alexandra pop and Lena Lattwein did return. Both had cold-related symptoms.
What the coach has to say
Tommy Stroot his team had to play against Potsdam only a couple days after the UWCL match against Galatasaray. With all the injuries it formed a challenge for the head coach: “As I said before, it was a challenging game for us because we had the shortest possible distance between two games and also because of the return trip from Turkey. You’ve seen that a bit today, I think,” he said.
Even though it did not go completely as planned, the head coach was happy with the match against Potsdam: “Especially in the things that always distinguish us – aggressiveness in the passing game, train, these last balls, which we then need for a scoring chance – we have left a little something behind. Nevertheless, we had great control and dominance in the first half, which was to be expected in the game. We also had a good residual defense.”
“In the second half, the game starts similarly. Then it gets a bit more unstable with the 2:1, maybe because of the switching moments that were there briefly. But above all because of the emotions that were there. Therefore, I was of course satisfied with the 3:1 and in the context of a season such games are definitely part of it. These are tasks that have to be mastered and in which it is mainly about simply winning and getting three points,” he concluded.
We expect Tommy Stroot to give a press conference and squad update later today.
