Ach armer Armin Veh! Da wird er Nachfolger von Felix Magath beim VfL Wolfsburg und kann es dort
niemanden Recht machen. Was soll er denn machen? Ja es ist richtig, man ist nicht Erster in der
Tabelle, ja man spielt derzeit vor allem in der Defensive nicht gerade eine überragende Saison
(fünftschlechteste Abwehr der Liga [.

Als Markus Babbel beim VfB Stuttgart die Mannschaft von Vorgänger Armin Veh übernahm, änderte
er das System. Veh ließ mit einer Raute im Mittelfeld spielen, Babbel wollte die Defensive
stärken und stellte vor die Abwehr zwei defensive Mittelfeldspieler (wie die Deutsche
Nationalmannschaft bei der WM 2006), von denen sich immer einer in die Offensive mit einschaltet;
der andere sichert ab.

Na gut, ich gebe es zu: Ich mag Werksvereine nicht. Eine Meinung, die sicher die meisten
Fussballpopulisten teilen, kommen sie nicht gerade aus einer von Großindustrie inklusive
Erstligawerbeträger mitfinanzierten ehemaligen Kleinstadt. Da wird doch nur Kohle reingebuttert,
Leistung bringen sie auch keine, noch nie was gerissen undsoweiterundsofort.

Sorry for letting this blog rot away in the late August sun for so many weeks. Other work took
over and left some time but not much energy to spend on other things. But the team blogs have been
bursting with energy all the more at the same time and a few more came back to life, so I guess
there were still enough places on The Offside for Bundesliga related updates.

OK so we're only two games in but could we be seeing the early signs of how the new Bundesliga
season is going to shape up? At the end of last season, most pundits believed that Wolfsburg might
dip somewhat following their magnificent success last season and the inevitable departure of their
best forwards, not to mention that of Svengali coach Felix Magath.

Wolfsburg striker Edin Dzeko has been one of the hottest targets in this
transfer window after scoring 36 goals for Wolves last season and a number of big European clubs
were keeping tabs on Bosnian striker. The player has stated that his dream was to play for
Milan, but that Wolfsburg would have the final say.

It's no surprise that coaching changes are typically swift. The selection for the sidelines can
impact everything that happens throughout the summer - from the market to the board room to the
staff individual player training on holiday. So you don't mess around. But this year's been
excessively swift.

Armin Veh was announced as Wolfsburg's new manager after their title celebrations. The
ex-Stuttgart manager will now try and replicate his 2008 Champions League form. It should be easier
with the imminent loss of Dzeko and Misimovic.

Getting the sack as a football coach isn't really the worst thing that could happen to you and
to Jürgen Klinsmann. Except for the banking sector there probably isn't a job on this planet where
screwing up pays you so much in golden handshakes. Looking at it this way, this season's best

are:

The Deutsche Presse Agentur released a poll yesterday about predictions for the upcoming season.
Bayern Munich was the unanimous favorite of Bundesliga coaches to repeat as champions. The most
common reason given was the quality of Jürgen Klinsmann's squad. What follows is a hasty
translation of what each of the 18 gaffers [.
