VfB Stuttgart win 1:0 against Gladbach and celebrates an important victory in the relegation battle. This is also the debut of interim coach Nico succeed Willingly. “He has had many conversations and quickly get a match plan found,” said sports Board Hitzlsperger. the Max Ferstl, Stuttgart
it Was the new VfB Stuttgart? The game against Borussia Mönchengladbach was only two minutes old, sprinted as striker Nicolas Gonzalez on Gladbach goalkeeper Yann Sommer, a rotation with an outstretched leg and, with the security of distance – landed. The scene brought nothing, but showed a player who goes with the momentum and the body voltage of a Kung-Fu fighter. In the 15. Minute, midfielder Andreas Beck parted his opponent, in the 17. it was Borna Sosa as well. Both prevented the attack, and saw the yellow card.
Stuttgart is played, how a team has to play on court 16, and a downward trend. A total of 18 Times, a Stuttgart was playing foul a Gladbacher, as frequently as never before in this season. However, the aggressiveness is not tipped in rudeness. That was enough on this night to Rob the Gladbachern the pleasure in this game. So it worked at least. “We have offered a very intense game,” said interim coach Nico Willingly. His team did what was necessary. And you won with 1:0.
It was the game one by one of self-denial bordering on 0:6 in Augsburg, the coach Markus Weinzierl cost of the Job. The charge had no more hope to be able to Weinzierl the relegation of space to defend, so a modicum of damage limitation. The success of Willing. This has been described during the week, as he imagines the presence of his team. Willing to style, “and” the constant attack readiness “- properties that could last hardly with VfB Stuttgart in the language of a” for active play. “He has had many conversations and quickly get a match plan found,” said sporting Director Thomas Hitzlsperger.
“We have attacked either very aggressive, or very deep
defended,”The new Stuttgart-based activity was seen on Saturday. The VfB players ran a lot, and they ran to the front. Something else was left for them. Whenever you wide in their own half back and to sink into passivity of the audience threatened to moved, whistled. Trainer Willingly had made a larger tag measures: He brought Sosa as an outside defender, positioned in front of it, Dennis Aogo and Andreas Beck in the centre, which ensured a minimum level of stability. Only in the fourth Minute Stuttgart to fit, Alassane Pléa to be delivered alone on goalkeeper Ron-Robert Zieler, but to use instead of his teammates, he shot himself – and failed. Otherwise, the Stuttgart-based designers remained largely stable.
With the constant attack of readiness, however, it was such a thing. Reluctantly, the two most dangerous Stuttgart attacker raised, Anastasios Donis and Daniel Didavi had omitted in the storm, on the previous Weinzierl, for reasons unknown. The offensive idea was then in the core to bring the Ball somehow Donis, the delivery a lot, often crossed, and the Gladbach under pressure. This was achieved mainly in the second half two Times very well. In the 54. Minute, he stole Gladbach’s Nico Elvedi the Ball, but hit the post, only the inside.
Shortly afterwards it worked better. Again Elvedi was involved in the prolonged a long Ball to the rear in the direction of summer. But Donis had expected, took the Ball and shot it low right into the goal. “We have attacked either very aggressive, or very deep defended,” said Willig. The latter was especially required in the last 20 minutes. The Stuttgart retreated far, established a dense network in front of the own goal, the Gladbach attacker tangled again and again. It looked very simple.
the final whistle As the referee of the game, fell to Nicolas Gonzalez on the lawn. He, the striker, was about five meters from his own penalty corner. Long he remained there. Then he thrust the fist in the sky. Space 17 is now removed for the first time soothing. The Fans no longer whistled.
