Nuremberg clearly wins: Home debacle - Stuttgart staggers towards relegation

As the most shrill whistles had died away, looked around Bruno Labbadia still stunned at the stadium. Two coaches of the malade VfB Stuttgart has worn this season, and the third finds no cure for the disease. Alarmingly dispassionate the master reels of 2007, contrary to the decline. "The team did today, it has been able not only" a consternation Labbadia said after the 1:4 (1:2) against 1 FC Nuremberg, which was also sealed by a Stuttgart Leihspieler: Julian slide struck in the 28th Minutes and prepared himself also the 1:3.

Gates, the VfB had so desperately needed. Labbadia admitted his helplessness one open. "There is a big difference between us and the teams that can be adjusted from the start to the season relegation battle. Click for our players and the environment is not easy, "said Labbadia. It sounded like a mantra, these sentences can be heard after a defeat of VfB again.

Also sporting director Fredi Bobic had taken in the face of poor performance. "We have a tense situation. And there certainly also plays a role in the mental thing, "said Bobic, and Labbadia added:" We just anybody on the court, which regulates our game. Christian Gentner would be important because it is in such a situation does not make the thoughts.

"The game play was quite Labbadia. Neither Zdravko Kuzmanovic and Elson's new signing Tamas Hajnal still winter, expressed their mark on the game. Moreover, with the return of injured Gentner, Timo Gebhart and Arthur Boka in the coming weeks not to expect. "This is a brutal blow for us was," Labbadia said referring to the hospital.

A further difficulty, is that the Japanese access Shinji Okazaki not yet eligible to play. The Asian champion was not in the squad, as his former club Shimizu S-Pulse has not yet granted approval. "We have tried everything, even more slowly to 14.00 clock, but the wheels of bureaucracy to run," complained Labbadia.

It does, therefore, a further site at VfB, need to work on Labbadia and Bobic. Whether those responsible be found in the last twelve league games, the right tool is questionable. On the team's "strike" will not VfB coach - that was the "wrong track. We must try to set the team mentally and restore them.

"Labbadia not much time left. On Wednesday, the Swabians travel to Lisbon, where on Thursday the Champions League game with Benfica is pending. Of these, Labbadia would still know nothing, "First we need to address clearly what has been done wrong." The Nuremberg were against it in a celebratory mood.

"The team played great soccer. And if we keep playing like that, I think we have already made the league, "coach Dieter Hecking. Man of the day was slide, the striker scored his sixth goal of the season. On Sunday, VfB wanted to slide with some players its 22nd Birthday. At least, these guests will not be in party mood.
