Following the departure of Woltemade, VfB supporters celebrate Gladbach.
In a thrilling Bundesliga encounter, VfB Stuttgart emerged victorious against Borussia Mönchengladbach, securing a 1-0 victory. The match, played before a crowd of 60,000 spectators, saw a crucial performance from the team, despite a lack of creativity and playfulness during the game.
Jamie Leweling, a VfB player, expressed that the transfer of Woltemade brought clarity to the team. Unfortunately, the absence of two central performers from last season, Nick Woltemade and Enzo Millot, was felt. Woltemade, a football national player, has now transferred to Newcastle United.
The winning goal was scored by Chema Andrés in the 79th minute from a standard. Despite Borussia Mönchengladbach's efforts, they failed to score their first goal of the season. Kevin Stöger missed a golden opportunity for the away team in the 51st minute, while Alexander Nübel, the VfB goalkeeper, made a crucial save three minutes later, parrying Philipp Sander's header from a free kick.
Alexander Wehrle, the board chairman, acknowledged the need for reinforcements due to Hoeneß' statements. Wehrle is confident that good solutions will be presented by the end of the transfer period. He also expressed his understanding that they had a responsibility to the entire club regarding the departure of Nick Woltemade.
Sami Khedira, a former VfB midfielder, believes VfB acted correctly in selling Woltemade. Tiago Tomás had the best VfB chance of the first half, but failed to score. Lukas Ullrich also had a good shooting opportunity in the 22nd minute but shot too high.
VfB Stuttgart will receive up to 90 million euros for Woltemade, the highest amount ever for a player sold by the club. Deniz Undav, a VfB player, had to be substituted due to a knee injury during the match. Despite the injury, the team managed to hold on to their lead and secure their first win of the season.
