Just over half a year was the VfB Stuttgart for a few weeks one of the best teams in the Bundesliga. In April and May, the team discovered in a relegation battle its arts, stringed victory after. The coach was Huub Stevens, decried as master mason of the old school. He took over the club in last place and saved him.
Under Alexander Zorniger who followed Stevens in the summer, it should go to the top. Now, the VfB has made in the basement. Let finally guessed evil 4 against Augsburg: The 0th To dismiss the coach was overdue. The performance of the team asked him from a bad witness. Irate also stands for a sporty aberration in German football.
The FAZ he has his idea declared before the season: football is a “margin of error”, it is a matter of exploiting the opponent. With this one-sided point of view it belongs to an entire movement coach. Roger Schmidt is one of them, even Markus Gisdol. Ralf Rangnick and Jürgen Klopp are the father figures. All of them have made no career as a footballer. Perhaps that’s why they think less of individuality, to top players.
These trainers put on physique, pace, ball-winning, not on playfulness, offensive initiative. They believe in their ability to press, lock – and then shoot quickly. Angry tried to be maximum offensively with a defensive idea of football. The football coach this is the alternative to the Ballbesitz- Game , the Pep Guardiola appends. It is an outsider football, which is in Germany in fashion, also in young and among women. As if you, Pardon, in Scotland or Iceland. Sounds it not cynical, one would have to be glad that goes wrong.
That at Angry individual strength is not a priority, you could see when he turned in the first few games Adam Hlousek in central defense. This is a player who in the offensive has its strengths, and which one sees quickly why you should not rely on him when danger prevails his own goal. Georg Niedermeier Meier, however, not a footballer for tongue clicking, but a-tackling defender who runs back if there’s a fire, had no chance with him.
Phased indeed worked, what Angry intended. In Hamburg and Leverkusen, VfB shot rapid counterattack goals. But both games he lost, because it is so easily against any other Bundesliga team to score a goal. Even if the VfB lead, he is back open. Bayer 04 equalized because a striker without resistance was able to penetrate into the box. In Munich, VfB came with a 6: 2 majority of the Bayern attack in arrears.
In Angry deficiencies in tactical precision work were added. His defense often was too far forward, postponed or moved to extremely out at the wrong moment. Play more cautiously allowed Irate after setbacks, the VfB was, however harmless in attack, as in the case of defeat in Berlin. With his style, the balance between attack and defend never agreed.
It had top ratings in Angry coach education of the DFB, he explains his football like scientific. He learned a lot from Moneyball in which wins the statistical interpretation of the sport, he said. However, it is in this film to baseball. Maybe Mehmet Scholl has thought of Irate when he railed about the theorists, “the laptop coach”. Maybe not recognize Angry whether a player is good, very good or just mediocre. Maybe that is a contrast to the Scholls, Babbel, Effenberg or Heynckes’.
Angry failed in any case in practice. 16th place despite a large number of players that are interesting for teams like Dortmund, Schalke, Leverkusen or Gladbach. VfB began the most goals in the league. Against the climber Ingolstadt and Darmstadt had her lucky wins, otherwise the VfB would last.
Severe Irate has life through his confident words. Even last week he attested itself to be the “right coach for VfB.” Previously, he had called his football was “no alternative”. He spoiled it with parts of the team. He spread over Interna Didavis violation of, ridiculed in front of the camera about Werners jubilation, spoke ill of Lower Meier. Those who have the talent Kimmich sold, one must “slay,” he said. So even their own board?
Zornigers dismissal is also a defeat for the leadership of the association. In October, neither the Board nor the Supervisory Board were approved. Even the sports director not Robin Dutt. He had presented Irate overoptimistic. In Stuttgart there since a hype, even the game against Augsburg was almost sold out. However, the mood changed in Häme.
Some fans have to think of Thomas Tuchel. Even a “laptop coach”, but one that recently Football play can not only run. Allegedly he had VfB like trained, even in the second division, as you can hear. But Dutt wanted to usher in a new era with Angry. He endowed him with a three-year contract, although the did not have Bundesliga experience. Zornigers naive game idea should be implemented even in the VfB youth. This damage should the VfB also resolve.
