2 of 27. You have to pay these numbers, even if it tastes for those who keep it with the VFL Wolfsburg, bitter, let go on the tongue. From the past nine games in the Bundesliga, the team of coach Florian Kohfeldt brought exactly 2 of possible 27 points.

2 of 27 possible points - and even a few good chances against Hertha

Seven bankruptcies and two draws. Countable there was 2: 2 (after 0: 2) at Arminia Bielefeld and the 0-0 against Hertha BSC. Yes, against those Berliners, the VFL even revealed a few good chances, but did not use them. In contrast to the competition, the old lady far more clearly its sporting limits. 1: 3 against Cologne, 2: 3 in the Cup against Union, 1: 4 against Munich. Hertha gets the hucco full and has so far only spared VfL.

50 million euros invested and at eye level with Fürth

What the main problem is named. Wolfsburg just shoots no goals. 17 are after 20 lots, minus value together with promoted Fürth. A champion league squad sampled in summer with 50 million euros at eye level with the stripped table limit light. That can now be used in two weeks to the coffin on the scales in Wolfsburg.

On the 6th of February the Swiss francs at the Lower Saxony. What mandatory the VFL should prepare: From the past six games, the team of coach Stefan Leitl nine points and thus eight more than the Kohfeldt-elf, only lost a game (0: 3 in Dortmund). Nevertheless, the VFL coach is convinced: We will win the game.

We will win the game.

More missing assessments? Then the descent threatens

What should the football teacher say anything else? He has to give this faith, otherwise it would be over again for him at the VfL, who is there to drive his fantastic starting position with the Champions League qualifying last year completely against the wall. Nothing really works in Wolfsburg, many misprints in a few months of Jörg Schmadtke and Marcel Schäfer just destroy the excellent work of the three years earlier. If there are other missing assessments, the descent threatens.

So what do? The possibility of another coach change is excluded at least in front of Fürth. Maybe therefore, because the coach market hardly offers names that make a speedy turn more likely than Kohfeldt. Lucien Favre? Niko Kovac? Some of Some Wolfsburg's heart beats higher when Bruno Labbadia, the Savior is brought into play.

Do you want to release a third coach on this team?

But another trainer to Mark Van Bommel and Kohfeldt to release this team, a third game idea, a third address? This does not sound really promising, although the VFL may not leave anything unturned in the end to save himself. Everything else than a victory against Fürth would probably lead to rethinking. Florian continues to make a stable impression on me, I see how he acts, says CEO Schmadtke on Monday afternoon. Nonetheless, everything you take to positive does not take part with results. That's the reality.

Florian still makes a stable impression on me, I see how he acts.

Fürth as a final - not only for Kohfeldt?

Which means: We believe that the way shows the right direction. Nonetheless, results have to come from. Our trust in the coach, the coaching staff and the team is not broken yet. Fürth, he knows, has an end game character for everyone involved.

Also for Schmadtke yourself? His contract ends in five months, the extension has been pushed so far, the development in the sporting crisis plays a major role. And also the manager makes his thoughts. The situation is stressful, also for me. She plays a role, but is not all overcome.

Schmadtkes Contract: Decision in February

In February, there should be a decision in the boss question in the VfL. Whether a resignation in the event that Schmadtke would once again want to change the coach to play a role in his mind world, the managing director does not exclude. I would not open this equation at the present time, replies the 57-year-old. It may be that I would answer this question at a later date.

Everything depends on Fürth, knowledgeable that even a victory would not mean the turning. Kohfeldt gets the curve? The faith dwindles with every further defeat. And yet the coach also has right if he repeatedly recognizes the little steps on Sunday. Desool was in no case at the 0: 2 in Leipzig. The will of the team could hardly deny the team this time, the aggressiveness necessary for a relegation candidate brought his team to the field.

Pech yes, but more inability

Of course, happiness is missing happily when a ball like that from Yannick Gerhardt does not go to the goal before the break. Rather, however, it remains inability that the VFL week will take place to the place for the week. If Maximilian Philipp at the playing scene before the 0: 1 the way with flank Dani Olmo just half-heartedly happens when John Anthony Brooks makes washout when the defense looks, as RB comes twice. Moments, which runs all the effort, which mainly operates Kohfeldt, in order to run the lame-consumed team again.

Schmadtke and sports director Schäfer must find the key to turn in the responsible position. Are there transfers in this last week of this change period? The VFL endeavors for reinforcements, concrete has not yet delivered the manager on Monday. Except that at the American talent Kevin Paredes (18, D.C. United), which can hold the left side, interest. An emergency aid in the relegation battle would hardly be the teenager. Requests for own players, says Schmadtke, do not give it. Which also surprises the experienced boss especially in the case of Wout Wire Horst. Since the past summer, the Dutch wishes the farewell to Wolfsburg, but beyond the way he finds a lack of interested parties so far. Although the VFL should be quite a conversation.

Only Fürth counts - even if this is a risk

In the core, the players have to judge anyway. There are two weeks in which Kohfeldt should set the team on Fürth. Two weeks that could be crucial for the Wolfsburg seasonal exit. The cartridge of the renewed coach change is still behind Schmadtke. Undoubtedly a risk, it should not be better after the interruption. I can not let myself be guided by the board, emphasizes the managing director who knows that the topic of missed opportunity would come in the event of a renewed failure. I'm long enough to know what's going to happen if the case would occur that you are reoriented again. It is not excluded that he would also announce his farewell himself.
