A lot of rumors in Wolfsburg by reason of two players who should have some offers from other clubs like De Bryne and Peresic. Manager Allofs said that they have not real offer for both and they do not want to let them go this Season. They are for sure in the team for this Season and what happen next summer it is very open. Nevertheless both are doing their job well and both are very focused and in form already despite the trouble around them. They are professional enough to take it serious and De Bryne said it is all about the clubs, nothing more. He has a contract in Wolfsburg and if they do not come to an arrangement he has to play for Wolfsburg. The next candidate is Peresic who is open to leave as well but the offer from Inter Mailand was not good enough maybe but they have fresh money now after selling Shakiri to Stoke City. Maybe the next attempt is coming next week from the Italian club.
If they want to have a satisfied player they must allow him to start today. Coach Hecking must count on him otherwise we know that the players get angry and they want to leave immoderately. But they have a very deep squad and the alternatives are big for Hecking. He must choose and find the right players for the match against Frankfurt today. The pre matches showed that they are on a good level already and they want to continue their run from 22 BL games unbeaten at home. It is very open if Benaglio stands in goal after having some back problems, he can be replaced by Casteels who played already in Supercup against Bayern Munich and made his job very well. So no worries for Coach Hecking who said that the defensive play must be improved a bit maybe they are to offensive minded with all the big guns there. With Vieirinha, Naldo, Klose and Rodriguez they have a good lineup there, Knoche is the back up as central defender but he has some problems with his form lately. The wings can be replaced by Jung, Träsch and Schäfer. In every part some alternatives ready, of course. Midfield with Gustavo who made a last big test against Madgeburg 3-4 or Guilavogui plays central beside Arnold, central offensive De Bryne and on the wings Kruse and Peresic while Dost is the lone striker. Of course a lot of alternatives also for this positions on bench. The only big miss is maybe Schürrle who is injured at the moment.
After Schaaf has said good bye to Frankfurt the same Coach returns who had lead them into Bundesliga some years ago and allow them to play on a higher level, welcome back Armin Veh. He has to do a lot of work above all he has to replace both keepers. They signed Lindner from Wien but where not so pleased with him so far and made an additional sign with Hradecky who should play already today although he is not long there. The defensive line has also some new faces with Abraham who came from Hoffenheim and he should build the new central defensive with Zambrano. The wings are clear with Oczipka and Chandler but the last one did not convince that Coach Veh tried to find a new option there and he was finding it with Hasebe but it is also not the best solution right now. Central midfield with Russ and new guy Reinartz is maybe a good choice but both are very tall what is a big disadvantage if you play teams like Wolfsburg who are very quick with their players. Maybe Flum and Ignjovksi is the better choice or maybe one of them but Coach Veh decides. Offensive with Inui, Seferovic and Aigner is top, and up front they have new signing Castaignos who scored already in Cup. Some problems for Veh are the injured DEF Anderson, MID Kittel or MID Stendera which are all very good alternatives for him. The biggest lose is their top scorer form last Season Meier who is still injured but he is working already on his comeback but need still some time.
Overall the squad is much more balanced and this Season with much more options in attack, last Season it was only Meier !!!
After Bayern, Dortmund, Leverkusen and Schalke started with wins Wolfsburg has to follow them if they do not want to be behind from beginning on. The home games must be won above all to begin of the Season to get a good feeling for the upcoming games. The potential and strength should be there for sure but you never know what tactic fox Veh is trying to stop the guns from Wolfsburg. He counts for sure on a good and compact defense while Inui and Aigner can hurt them with their fast breaks and give Frankfurt some chances to score with.
