Zagadou as captain: VfB Stuttgart gets off to a strong start in the friendly against Fellbach!
VfB Stuttgart is entering the 2024/25 season with new vigor. In the test match against Fellbach, which took place today, July 12, 2025, Dan-Axel Zagadou led his team onto the field as captain. His return, after a year in which he barely played due to two knee operations, is eagerly awaited by fans. The 1.96 meter tall central defender only played 28 minutes in three short appearances last season, but his presence and potential as a leader are highly valued, especially at this crucial phase for the club. According to Stuttgarter Nachrichten, Zagadou is back in impressive form after his rehabilitation period.
Coach Sebastian Hoeneß's team was well positioned in the friendly against Fellbach. VfB Stuttgart appeared with a squad that included, for example, Alexander Nübel in goal and strong defenders such as Ameen Al Dakhil and Jeff Chabot. The midfield was well populated with talents like Yannik Keitel and Enzo Millot as well as experienced players like Atakan Karazor and Jacob Bruun Larsen. Names like Ermedin Demirovic and El Bilal Touré stood out in the attack and are supposed to liven up the offensive. You can read the exact line-up and game tactics on the Weltfussball website.
