"We should not talk about individual players, because in the season no player has come up with the requirements. We as a team, we as a club did not live up to the claims. Since we should not reduce that to a person. It is not quite fair To rate Max Kruse, as his work is against the ball, "said Schäfer the TV channel" Sky "on the edge of the game against Arminia Bielefeld.

Schäfer sees a fundamental problem at this year's Champions League participant.

The whole team made too little, as Schäfer, who points to the Wolfsburg motto "Work, Football, Passion": "Last year we defined ourselves over work, especially on work against the ball." You have to be honest with yourself.

That did not implement the team this year. The VFL is located as Table-14. In acute reliance danger.
