Niko Kovac may not quarrel with his unsuccessful return to Munich, but rather looks to the future with confidence.

“Losing isn’t really fun, but Bayern going 2-0 is okay,” said the 50-year-old VfL Wolfsburg coach after the deserved defeat in the Bundesliga against his former club.
“We have to get our points elsewhere,” emphasized Kovac: “Many teams will come here and certainly lose. We were unlucky that we were the first.” After the 2: 2 in the Bundesliga opener against promoted SV Werder Bremen, the Lower Saxony are there with one point. However, after the performance in Munich, Kovac believes that his team has the quality to score better quickly. Next opponent is Schalke 04 on Saturday.
“We have to continue to follow the coach’s plan,” said goalkeeper Koen Casteels, Wolfsburg’s best at the Allianz Arena. They were defensively “disgusting” than at the start of the season. Meanwhile, captain Maximilian Arnold didn’t want to hear about the increased pressure in the home game against Schalke: “To talk about pressure on the third match day is complete nonsense,” said the midfielder. “I’ve seen other situations before,” said the 28-year-old, who has played for VfL since 2009.
