Former soccer world champion Guido Buchwald has criticized the transfer policy of Bundesliga club VfB Stuttgart, which is threatened with relegation, under former sports directors Michael Reschke and Sven Mislintat.
“Those responsible have signed a disproportionately large number of players from outside. Under Michael Reschke, it was seasoned professionals, under Sven Mislintat it was mostly younger,” said Buchwald of the “Stuttgarter Zeitung” and the “Stuttgarter Nachrichten”.
You can see the result now. “There are almost 40 licensed players under contract. Which coach should work effectively with this mass?” Buchwald explained. That puts a strain on the budget and makes it more difficult for their own offspring to get through.
Buchwald believes in staying in the class
Nevertheless, Buchwald believes that VfB, who are in 17th place before the last two Bundesliga games, will remain in the league. “I actually see VfB on an upward trend, even if they have now slipped down to a relegation zone. They found the right coach in Sebastian Hoeneß.
The mixture of stability and offensive drive fits, apart from the defeat at Hertha BSC, there wasn’t a really bad game under him,” said Buchwald, who was German champion with VfB in 1984 and 1992 and became world champion with Germany in 1990.
The Stuttgart team play at FSV Mainz 05 on Sunday and on the last day of the game meet TSG 1899 Hoffenheim, who are also in danger of relegation.
