Wolfsburg's crisis: Coach Paul Simonis under pressure before HSV duel!
The situation at VfL Wolfsburg is becoming increasingly threatening. After four defeats in a row, the team and their coach Paul Simonis are in a serious position in the table, which is currently 15th. Last weekend, the Wolves were defeated again in a 3-0 defeat by VfB Stuttgart, which was described as a “total failure” according to sports director Sebastian Schindzielorz. Criticism of the team's performance is becoming louder and a positive turnaround is urgently needed to avoid the relegation battle. NDR reports that Simonis, who was signed before the season with the aim of winning the cup, is not being questioned, but the implementation of his game idea remains questionable.
The pressure on coach Simonis is growing, not least because the tactics don't seem to be working. Lack of speed in the midfield and a suboptimal formation raise questions. Interestingly, the faster Mohamed Amoura was not used, while Jonas Wind, who is currently in a slump in form, was on the pitch. Christian Eriksen, also new to the squad, cannot bring the necessary pace into the game. Captain Maximilian Arnold made it clear that there was a lack of combative players - a fact that did not go unnoticed by the supporters. Daily Mirror added that Andreas Skov Olsen shot over the goal in the 73rd minute, which was met with mocking applause from the fans.
The next meeting
The next opponent on the program next weekend is Hamburger SV, who are also happy about a home advantage and are speculating on their third home win. Given their current form, it will be anything but easy for Wolfsburg to collect points here. The team has to pull itself together as quickly as possible, because if another defeat occurs, not only the players will be under pressure, but also the entire management. Those responsible on the supervisory board have already begun to question the work of managing directors Peter Christiansen and Schindzielorz, which is further increasing the tense nerves in the club. NDR is optimistic that the team can turn things around after an open exchange.
There are crucial games coming up for Wolfsburg in the next few weeks, including matches against TSG Hoffenheim and Werder Bremen. A bad result could result in a complete restructuring of the club. There is already discussion in “Wolfsburg circles” about possible changes if the turnaround does not succeed.
