09:58 clock
The local interest remained remarkably limited. Europa League? Quarter Finals? Against, after all, runners-up in the Bundesliga? Actually pretty good reasons to visit the stadium, right? Not so at Napoli. In view of the result from the first leg a week ago, when the Italians with 4: had prevailed 1 in Wolfsburg, the giants of the third largest city in the country had already properly help out, not aground at the second meeting behind closed doors. More than 10, 000 tickets were given away before the game to children aged between eight and 16 years of age, and basically said everything about the stress factor at this European Cup night
He ended conceivable predictable. After a 2 : 2 (0: 0) -Unentschieden goodbye to the Wolfsburg before 30,000 fans at the Estadio San Paolo as the last remaining German team from the competition.

So you can be satisfied, “said VfL manager Klaus Allofs on TV channel Sky. Captain Diego Benaglio added kabel eins: “If one excretes so, the disappointment is of course great. It is a pity that we have not won at least “
The next big goal of Wolfsburg’s DFB Cup final
Just the statistics could not give much hope to guests.: In the history of the European Cup it was previously not a single team managed a 1: even catch up with 4 home defeat, and nothing changed much last night nothing – especially since the Wolfsburg in Kevin De Bruyne (metatarsal contusion), André Schürrle (shoulder problems) and Vierienha (chills) had to have three important players at home in Germany. For Guilavogui Joshua, Daniel Caliguiri and Nicklas Bendtner moved into the starting lineup by Dieter Hecking.
The Wolfsburg coach had his system compared to 1: 4 changed a week ago and had to practice a more attacking 4-1-4-1 instead of the usual 4-2-3-1. Despite optical superiority of the Bundesliga it was in front of goal but rarely dangerous: Ivan Perisic immediately after the kick-off and Bendtner just before the break awarded the best options. Naples was limited, however, as far as practical to manage his lead and wait for the opponent’s mistakes.
After the break, it took only five minutes before the heading was finally decided in favor of Naples. Gonzalo Higuain served José Callejon, who sought the conclusion of 16 meters and was able to count ourselves lucky that his trial was not deflected by Ricardo Rodriguez Wolfsburg. The ball hit untenable to 1: 0 behind VfL keeper Diego Benaglio a. A little later, Dries Mertens increased to 2: 0 before Timm Klose pulled one goal for the Lower Saxony. Again, a few seconds later, Ivan Perisic resembled still for VfL, but but the residue from the first leg proved too high for a possible final sprint.

The departure was at most Wolfsburgern who landed in Brunswick in the early morning, soon checked. Not only Dieter Hecking formulated quickly the next steps. “We want to achieve three points in Gladbach Berlin on Wednesday the big goal,” said VfL coach who led his team after the 1: rehabilitated in the first leg saw 4 debacle. “I have not seen a big difference today,” said Hecking.
Even before the return flight from Naples sang the Wolfsburg fans their next target. The classic “Berlin, Berlin, we’re going to Berlin” resonated during the terraces VfL supporters at the Stadio San Paolo. And just shortly thereafter, in the catacombs of dilapidated arena was also VfL defender Marcel Schäfer: “Everyone knows how hot we on Berlin.” In the semifinals of the German Cup awaits the Lower Arminia Bielefeld
<. p> Also in the round of last four teams in the Europa League Fiorentina is a 2: 0 victory over Dynamo Kiev (first leg: 1: 1). Man of the evening was Mario Gomez, the trend-setting hits to 1: 0 achieved before Juan Vargas increased in stoppage time.
