Stotterstart at VfL Bochum. Anthony Losilla currently has to answer many questions about the VfL crisis during his visits to the sports studio.
At first glance, you might think that VfL Bochum has found a suitable opponent on Saturday (3:30 p.m.) when it comes to finally getting the first three points of the season.
VfL Wolfsburg itself has only four points on the board, which it earned against newly promoted team Holstein Kiel. But a glance at Wolfsburg’s starting program shows that
the “Wolves” have already faced the big teams in the Bundesliga: Bayern Munich, Bayer Leverkusen, Eintracht Frankfurt and VfB Stuttgart. With moderate success, only against Stuttgart was there a partial success.
But Wolfsburg will also be thinking: we have to start picking up points now. Ahead of the 90 minutes at the Ruhr Stadium, captain Anthony Losilla says: “We have another opportunity to get three points on Saturday. Wolfsburg will be a tough task, they have already had strong opponents, they have always lost by a narrow margin. They are stable, they get forward quickly down the wings.”
In fact, Wolfsburg only lost narrowly, always by a goal difference, even against the big teams. Bochum have also put up stiff resistance so far, but have almost always come up short in the end. Even a 2-0 lead wasn’t enough for BVB, and Losilla knows: “We keep having good spells, and we’ll give our best again on Saturday.”
Of course you are confronted with the start, because that’s what people here in Bochum are interested in

So that the questions will be more pleasant again in the future. Losilla likes to spend his free time doing other sports in Bochum, whether it’s basketball or other VfL games. He reports: “Of course you’re confronted with the start, because that’s what people here in Bochum are interested in. That’s part of it, but people have respect, that’s very important.”
One of the topics of conversation is that the team is not really fit, but the captain of the Bochum team does not want to comment on that. His message: “It’s clear that people are critical of the situation. But I won’t talk about topics like fitness. Even if it’s legitimate for people to want to know what the situation is like for us.” cb / gp
