Played well and was rewarded late. VfB Stuttgart is taking a lot of momentum with them from Turin. The victory a few days after Bayern’s defeat also gave the sports director courage for the next tasks.
Fabian Wohlgemuth was completely happy. “This is an evening that we will remember for a long time,” said the sports director of VfB Stuttgart after the late but deserved 1-0 (0-0) win at Juventus Turin. Wohlgemuth said this success will still be remembered in ten or twenty years. The Swabian Bundesliga club’s first victory in the Champions League in almost 15 years will “end up in VfB’s history books”. Above all, it should give the club a boost for the many English weeks that still await Christmas.
The team showed a strong reaction three days after the 0-4 defeat in the league at FC Bayern Munich, said Wohlgemuth and coach Sebastian Hoeneß in unison. Over the entire 90 minutes, the Swabians were the better team against Italy’s record champions on Tuesday evening. But they only scored in stoppage time through El Bilal Touré (90+2). It was a “dream goal” for the Malian, said Wohlgemuth. The substitute striker did an “outstanding job,” said Hoeneß.
Multiple exposure is a big issue in Stuttgart
A goal from Deniz Undav had previously been revoked because he carried the ball slightly with his arm (50th). Enzo Millot also missed a penalty (86th). Ultimately, the people of Stuttgart no longer had to be annoyed about all of this.
However, Hoeneß warned that you have to correctly classify the first win in the current Champions League season and, if possible, improve on Saturday in the league against newly promoted Holstein Kiel. Dealing with the multiple burden of three club competitions and, for many professionals, also international matches was a big topic in Stuttgart recently. Sports director Wohlgemuth also viewed the coup at Juventus as a “very good sign”. The victory gives hope that the runner-up can “become more and more stable as the season progresses” despite the hardships.
