Against HSV Wolfsburg: Diego and van Nistelrooy - The stars are a burden

His crackdown has quite a soft component. The suspension Diego, started with the Pierre Littbarski in his new post as head coach of VfL Wolfsburg is a lesson for the moment. "I will not take one of our best players from the team permanently," the coach says about a game designer, he demoted, at least in the home game on Saturday against Hamburger SV on the host platform.

A missed penalty in the lost game at Hannover 96, Diego could not have been allowed to run, the last time being the Brazilian's misconduct - the hopes, at least his new coach. The crisis of VfL Wolfsburg in the Bundesliga and share the same number of observers of the association with the performance of Diego, who had been to offer more provocative than genius.

And as luck would have it, the Lower Saxony received today a team that has in its ranks is also a professional, who can offer these days, especially verbally and something less fun. The difference is that Ruud van Nistelrooy, the HSV-makers in this week held back up to speed on the pitch compared to Diego still operates with a little more sustainable.

Nevertheless, the clubs are united in that they occupy prominent players who were brought as a beacon of hope, now are more burden than joy, however. Sitting on the platform must therefore Diego on Saturday. He, who recently became the first father. The work of the retrieved Juventus Diego does not often seen as a role model.

From an access as it may be expected to lead the team in bad phases and together. But "ego-Diego," as he mocked the local press meanwhile, has wiped out in debates with referees and opponents. His own preference, for example the long dribble with the ball, he makes during the game on the requirements of the proposed system.

The fact that the big earner has just ordered a luxury car brand Bentley, fits into the image of a professional who treats himself extravagances. His revolt at the penalty spot, which has also contributed to the failure of VfL coach Steve McClaren, cost a lot of sympathy points in their own team.

"I had a long talk with Diego. And a thing like that the penalty will not happen again. But I can guarantee, "said Marcel Schäfer, Wolfsburg captain. On the question of the importance of a loner like Diego for VfL Wolfsburg may still be to Littbarski adopted. He does not think that the Brazilian behaving like a diva, but in practice works well in itself.

If you look closely you will notice, however, that Diego against in their daily work to the fans and players are more reserved and likes doing his own thing. The anger over his disobedience has recently ensured that the salary of the Brazilian became public. The failed McClaren wanted Diego impose a sentence of one week's pay, that is 100? 000 €.

Littbarski has waived this draconian penalty after consulting with Hertha manager Dieter Hoeness - probably also with regard to the sensitivities of its stars. "I wanted to take responsibility," Diego said after his penalty arbitrarily executed in Hannover, for the striker Patrick Helmes was divided by the trainer.
