VfL Wolfsburg: Diego's revolt brings coach McClaren in need

The goal celebration should rescue the situation slipped out yet. But had kicked the penalty that Diego with full force to the underside of the crossbar, jumped back in front of the goal line and from there onto the field. The miss sealed the answers the dilemma of VfL Wolfsburg, the frightening shapes.

0:1 (0:1) at Hannover 96 lost only one point away from the relegation zone - the scorn and derision with which the Wolfsburg is considered expensive team in the stadiums of the Bundesliga met regularly, especially Diego. "I wanted to take responsibility," the Brazilian said after a penalty, he would not shoot must.

It was made especially coach Steve McClaren, the drain Diego's cheek after another defeat at VfL Wolfsburg like a bad movie again in slow motion in front of him. After a challenge from Emanuel Pogatetz to Diego was clear to all: If Grafite already be replaced, may access Patrick Helmes ran as a penalty taker.

"I turned around and I see Diego taking the ball. Unbelievable. I am disappointed and angry, but I will not overreact, "McClaren said of the foaming at that farce, in which it failed, VfL thanks Diego, the 0-1 residue by the early goal by Sergio Pinto (4th minute) be reparable . "Any wrongdoing has consequences," McClaren announced on Sunday.

What will be accurate, he left open. But what was the reason for Diego's high-handed move? Maybe it was helmet. He is one of only a few days ago to the squad. That now a substitute was also determined to penalty taker is a strange approach. The same should probably also Diego in his revolt at the penalty spot thought.

But now the points are egotism by its gone. Whether a penalty is due for a Brazilian who has duped a British coach, is to clarify team internally. Among the open questions that the Wolfsburg came back from their defeat in the Lower Saxony Derby, is once again, as it is with the future of McClaren at VfL Wolfsburg.

Who will be rewarded in the winter transfer period with six new professionals may still allow only very little slip-up. Dieter Hoeness, as chairman of the Wolfsburg-based management, an ambitious manager, blamed the controversy over the penalty but as a behavior "of a kindergarten-force".

He indicated, however, also indicated that he does not understand the game system of his coach. The weak form as a lone striker Grafite was again called up and been the face of a poor game structure too much on their own. Substitution of the helmet, next to Jan Polak and Tuncay Sanli, the third drawn up access, a touch of swing came in the game.

"But it gives one to think that we lose games that we must not lose," said Hoeness. It sounded very disillusioned.
