Clean or dirty solution: How will Wolfsburg get rid of Max Kruse? | Sports

Three clean, one dirty solution |

How does Wolfsburg get rid of the Kruse heavy load?

On September 9, the VfL Wolfsburg team was relieved of a hundredweight. Coach Niko Kovac (51) informed her that Max Kruse (34) released from the game is.

Apart from the 0: 2 at Union Berlin, the decision brought about a sporting turnaround. However, the problem has not yet been properly resolved.

How does Wolfsburg get rid of Kruse?

Kruse is still allowed to train as long as he is not injured and in rehab. Since the end of September, the effects of a torn muscle fiber have prevented him from practicing his former job.

In the meantime, Kruse no longer causes a pitying sensation in football, but on social networks, on YouTube and in podcasts. At VfL he only plays an expensive supporting role – estimated gross annual salary around 3.9 million euros until June 30, 2023. This contractual marriage should be divorced. Just wondering how. There are three clean solutions and one dirty solution.

Clean Solution A

There is actually a club in the January transfer phase that doesn’t care about Kruse’s lack of fitness and his sideline activities. The chance of that, including a small fee for VfL Wolfsburg, is currently extremely low.

Clean Solution B

Kruse officially ends his career and returns the contract. chance of that just as small.

Clean solution C

Both sides terminate the contract prematurely against payment of a severance payment. The chance of this is definitely greater than in cases A and B.

The dirt solution

At some point, Kruse falls into the trap and carelessly churns out sentences that are damaging to the club on his many banal channels. Most recently, there was trouble because Kruse responded via Instagram to statements by VfL captain Maximilian Arnold (28) in the kicker podcast “FE: male view on football”.

“We know what it’s about. Namely: Those who have less talent have to train more,” Kruse slandered Arnold at the time, who described his professional practice in the podcast: “I really like going to work. Unlike Max Kruse, I’m not just here for three and a half hours, but a little longer, I like to do something for myself and my body.”

Arnold didn’t open a barrel with that, he just referred to a sentence by Kruse from August, when he announced on his Twitch channel: “My daily working hours are 9 a.m. to 1 p.m..”

At the time, the four-hour statement caused violent head shaking at VfL Wolfsburg and its parent company, Volkswagen AG. Because she counteracted the club motto “work, football, passion” that had existed for years.
