- "Once more, it's the cemetery mentioned": Hasenhüttl criticizes VfL supporters
Wolfsburg manager Ralph Hasenhuettl voiced his displeasure towards the home crowd following a 2:3 loss to Bayern Munich in their initial Bundesliga encounter. "At times, it was a bit too quiet," the Austrian shared during a post-match chat with DAZN. "When we engage in every scuffle and shift the momentum of the game, it generates some energy. However, once we concede the second goal, it reverts to silence once more. That's not right."
Expanding on his critique during a subsequent press conference, Hasenhuettl explained, "We're programmed to tackle obstacles first and deliver results before seeking reinforcements. But I've witnessed in the Premier League how an entire stadium erupts just because we've gained possession during a throw-in," he stated. "We require more backing in those instances. That's how we can foster something here moving forward. That's our collective aim, and sometimes, I felt that was lacking today."
In light of Wolfsburg's defeat to Bayern Munich, it was noted that the home crowd in Lower Saxony was somewhat subdued, which according to manager Ralph Hasenhuettl, affected the team's energy levels. Furthermore, during a discussion about improving the team's performance, Hasenhuettl suggested that the fans in Lower Saxony could play a crucial role in boosting morale by showing more support, especially in crucial moments during matches.
