Stuttgart vs Mönchengladbach: Win Without Key Players – Bundesliga Analysis

The fact that the man, who was actually intended for the starting eleven in the 1-0 win against Borussia Mönchengladbach, had been busy for a few days. It was surprising that Nick Woltemade would no longer play a role on Saturday. There was no saying band that had devoted himself to the newcastle fled to Newcastle, Woltemade remained invisible despite the fundamentally enormous body level. Instead, the Stuttgart fan base devoted itself to the lasting things around her heart’s club. For the 100th anniversary of the “Bruschdring”, i.e. the red cross on the idea of ​​the white jersey, there was an elaborate choreography over all four grandstands that showed the old warriors from Ottmar Hitzfeld and Hermann Ohlicher over Hansi Müller to Cacau.

In the game, which had come to an end shortly before, one had noticed which gap the farewell to the new warriors Nick Woltemade and Enzo Millot had left in the Stuttgart offensive. After a good Stuttgart initial phase, Gladbach was the team more dangerous until the break. And that also because the few balls that were arrived at the front of VfB quickly ended up with the Gladbach feet. To be able to maintain the ball in your own ranks is one of the very big strengths of Woltemade, which will play in the north -east of England in the future.

It has not been so long ago that Woltemade’s storm partner Deniz Undav expressed his anticipation of the new season in an interview, tenor: he is looking forward to the shaken with Woltemade. That was before the endless transfersaga broke off, but finally it seemed as if Undav’s anticipation had justified her justification. And now, after the first home win of the new season, the small euphoria at VfB had temporarily transformed into Banges. Woltemade is gone, of course, but what about Undav? After less than a quarter of an hour, he had to clear the field against Gladbach, later he left the stadium threatingly. Can at least and continue to play for VfB, or does it also fall away?

Good news for VfB is the performance of Real Madrid’s 20-year-old Chema

As became known on Sunday, Undav has apparently suffered an inner ligament tear in his knee, which means at least a few weeks of break. The otherwise stormy VfB is temporarily a real personnel problem in the offensive area, especially since Chris Leadich is apparently not currently a reliable alternative. On Saturday he was in the 14th minute and replaced in the 64th. And even if coach Sebastian Hoeneß (“it is hard for the boy, that’s not nice”) emphasized that this had nothing to do with his performance – it had not been convincing until then.

However, the VfB sometimes seemed susceptible to a concentrated and determined Gladbach team on the defensive. The fact that it was used for 120 minutes and an almost endless penalty shootout at the DFB Cup game in Braunschweig four days earlier, the eleven was noticeable as well as the lack of injuries, which was due to injury, the central defender Jeff Chabot and Luca Jaquez. In any case, the guest had the best goal opportunities, but Lukas Ulrich (22nd minute), Franck Honorat (25th), Joseph Scally (36.) and Kevin Stöger (50th) did nothing. And since the substitute Spaniard Chema Andrés then headed the Stuttgart winning goal (79th), Gladbach’s sports manager Roland Virkus showed himself grumpy: “The worst thing is that it wasn’t even a goal. It is always against a strong team like VfB. But stands are called that as standard.”

In the end, however, they diverge at VfB in a comparatively harmonious mood, also because the 20-year-old Chema, acquired from the second team from Real Madrid, again indicated that a competitive six could perhaps mature for the near future. Sebastian Hoeneß was also pleased that his team had successfully returned into the game after the coach had previously experienced “Tough days” according to his own statement.

The day before, he had only been very needy to hide his disappointment that he had just been lost in his most prominent striker. The fact that he was apparently only informed about the concretizing change Woltemades with a delay should hardly have improved his mood. Eviled by the triple point win, Hoeneß now left the subtle indication that the most adequate replacement for Woltemade would be a nice thing. “We want to have a powerful team,” he said, with a view to the transfer market, which will close his gates on Monday evening at 8 p.m.

According to Nice, a trace seems to lead to 20-year-old offensive player Badredine Bouanani, and after the impressions of Saturday, VfB would actually do well to readjust again on the offensive. Even the players now dare to pronounce this knowledge. “We don’t have to talk that we still need reinforcements,” said the national defender Maximilian Mittelstädt, “you saw that we could not change any real offensive power.” By the way, the teammates have not heard from the old wagon Woltemade since their farewell, and the move to Newcastle apparently had to take place so quickly. At least the Stuttgart national players will soon see Woltemade again, at the latest this Monday, when moving into the DFB district before the international matches against Slovakia and Northern Ireland.
