Donation: where rice from Löwen expects the VfL Bochum

The expectations were high, lions have saved little. The most spectacular action of the current season succeeded the midfielder in his Olympic use for the German team. In the group match against the Ivory Coast, he twirled a free kick technically perfectly into the opposing gate and showed its quite existing skills with the ball.

Of this, there was little to admire in Bochum so far apart from some fine passports and - rare - goalkeepers. Not for the first time, coach Thomas rice noted, lions seemingly committed to conjure up very special things on the lawn.

I have already told him that no one expects he constantly shows something very special.

Repeatedly, the VfL coach was already looking for the conversation with the midfielder, who made a very few game practice in Berlin last year in Berlin and looking for his best form. I ve been telling him often that nobody expects him to constantly show something very special, says rice. For the team it would be better if he would confine himself to the simple things.

Because of his participation in the Olympiannier, Lions had of course not the ideal start in his new environment. In the first test matches and training sessions, however, the Middle Fieldman had already shown what s in it, so the expectations of him were not enough. However, the 24-year-old has not yet come to roles, but also there is a place on the reserve bank against Hoffenheim on Saturday.

Rexhbecaj returns exactly what is required by lions

In the occupation of its center, rice will of course build on its capitano Anthony Losilla, who always goes as a permanent runner and organizer and is almost indispensable. Also, Wolfsburg loan Elvis Rexhbecaj, who basically delivered exactly what is required by Lions. In any case, as a hardworking worker, he always brings full commitment, clearly and flawless, not a bit spectacular, but just important in the sense of the team.

Third man in the central midfield could be Milos Pantovic, who is in question for several positions, but once again presented himself in good makeup as a joker in Mönchengladbach.

Does the VFL Bochum again hurt his white vest?

By the way, on the Castroper Straße, two of the five teams meet at Castroper Straße, which have stayed four times to ten matchdays for four times. In addition to Hoffenheim, the Freiburg, Wolfsburg, Mainz - and the VfL Bochum.

The fact that it is not easy to come to the goal success in Bochum, by the way, three opponents had to know. Only at the 1: 3 against Hertha conceded the VfL at home counter. Against Mainz, Stuttgart and Frankfurt, the climber had his white vest at home.
