#Netherlands - Andries Jonker

[pelova4president]

That stupid smile of hers I

Esmee Brugts x nedwnt!R

II of that stupid smile of hers

summary~ In which y/n gets to go to the World Cup and falls in love with the girl with that stupid not so stupid smile.

I play for Arsenal but have been benched for most of the season. So when I got called up for national duty I was surprised, to say the least. But after all that happiness and surprise came the nervousness. How could I, y/n y/l/n who turned 18, just weeks ago get a call up for the Oranje Leeuwinnen. Sure, I’ve been the topscorer for the u23’s euros and Vivianne Miedema has torn her ACL, I’ve seen her stuggle, cry and achieve big milestones along the way. But she wasn’t going to make the world cup and everyone knew it.

The Netherlands needed another top scorer, they needed y/n. And that’s exactly what her coach, Andries Jonker told her.

A few days later the list of names that would go to the world cup was posted on the Oranje Leeuwinnen socials.

esmeebrugtsfan1 can’t wait to see her play

y/nballer69 so well deserved 🪄⚽️

I know a few of the girls. Well okay, I know all of them but did they know me?

I’ve played with Vicky in England, both of us playing for Arsenal and befriending almost immediately. Viv was the first one to welcome and introduce me to the whole Arsenal squad. Her and Beth took me in, just like they did with Vic and that’s just how I found myself playing fifa with Vic till morning. It was safe to say that I liked her company.

I knew a few of the other dutch girls playing in England, chatting with them when they played against us. Viv and Vic told me stories about camp life and the Olympics, about how vic won almost every table tennis game and was annoyingly good in chess, about Daan and her pranks and about Esmee Brugts, the annoyingly good footballer.

I’ve watched her, making the goal that got us to the world cup. I’ve watched her play for PSV back in The Netherlands. The goals she made, the way she just plays past everyone like it’s nothing, god it’s annoying. How could you be that good and so humble. And those stupid smiles she gives the camera after she scores, it’s so annoyingly cute.

So yeah, I had asked Vic and Viv about Esmee and they somehow got suspicious of how much I wanted to know about her. “Oh, ik ben gewoon geïnteresseerd. Ik moet iedereen toch een beetje kennen voordat we twee maanden in Australië zitten” (Oh, i’m just interested. I have to know everyone a bit before we go to Australia for two months) Viv and Vic just looked at each other and broke out into laughter.

Vic and I went to Zeist, to camp. It wasn’t that long of a flight but it felt like hours. Vic could feel the nervousness radiate off of me and put her hand on my leg that was tapping away annoyingly. “Oh mijn god y/n! Wat is er aan de hand man?” (Oh my god y/n! What’s going on mate?) Vic asked me. I just waved away the question and stared out of the window since I kind of sabotaged Vic to get the window seat.

We were greeted by someone from the staff that drove us to our camp. And just like every national teams socials does, the players got photographed at their arrival.

brugtsfan33 can’t wait to see the y/l/n and brugts linkup

↳ y/l/nballer5 me neither, this world cup’s gonna be amazing

Walking into the big hall, Vic behind me, I was starstruck. Everyone was already there, Roord, Van de Donk, Martens and even Brugts.

Vic pushed me and whispered in my ear “Kom op, je hebt nog twee maanden de tijd om naar dr te staren” (Come on, you have the next two months to stare at her) I started to get red and looked around checking if anyone heard us. Seeing this, Vic just started to laugh even harder. I pushed her and walked over to Kerstin who I knew from matches against City.

Kerstin was kind enough to introduce me to everyone. Shanice who played at Liverpool came launching at me, ready to pick me up. “Klein monster, je bent er!” (Little monster, you’re here!) she yelled and picked me up while hugging me tightly. I congratulated her with the announcement of her girlfriend’s pregnancy and went on to greet everyone.

And to my surprise, there’s still was someone I hadn’t met yet. Esmee Brugts. Before I could even walk towards her Andries started to speak.

He thanked everyone for coming, got into his very serious speech and ended with who would room with who. “… Vic en Merel, Jill en Shanice en last but not least y/n en Esmee” (… Vic and Merel, Jill and Shanice and last but not least, y/n and Esmee).

I was hoping to be roomed with Vic, having spend the last few months with her in Viv and Beth’s house. That was too much to ask apparently, but Esmee, now the universe is just trying to get back at me.

I awkwardly looked up in search for Esmee. When i found her she was staring at me already. She gave me one of those dumb smiles she gives the cameras. I gave her a tight smile back before i turned to Vic who was sitting next to me. “Dit lijkt wel een realityshow, veel succes sukkeltje” (This is almost a realityshow, good luck loser) and with that she walked away to grab her suitcase and went settle in with her roomie.

When i saw Esmee talking to Lieke i saw my chance and went to our room. It was like all the other rooms i’ve stayed in for national duty but definitely bigger. I wanted to take a look at the bathroom which was way bigger than I expected. The rainshower being the best part of it all.

Walking back into the bedroom Esmee was already getting settled on the bed by the door.

“Hi” she said sheepishly. “Hey” i smiled back, god why was i already getting red in the face. “Ik heb fifa meegenomen, wil je spelen?” (I brought fifa with me, do you wanna play?) she asked me opening her backpack to get something out. “Ja, alleen als je tegen je verlies kan. Ik ben fifa kampioen in Engeland” (Yes, only if you’re not a sore loser. I’m the fifa champion in England) I told her. She laughed at me and got the game out.

A few games of fifa and a whole lot of laughing further and it was time for dinner already. Jackie was the one knocking at our door and yelling for us to come.

Esmee had won multiple times after i won the first round but i’ll never admit that to anyone. “Rematch after dinner.” I told her and she just nodded and went to sit at the table with Daphne, Jackie, Kerstin, Daan and Damaris. I sat between Vic and Jill. Vic gave me one of her smug smiles and i just rolled my eyes at her.

“Dus y/n, hoe vind je het tot nu toe?” (So y/n, how do you like it so far?) Merel asks me. “Het is goed, ik ben blij met m’n nieuwe roomie, gelukkig niet zo’n slechte verliezer als jij” (It’s good, i’m happy with my new roomie, luckily not such a sore loser like you). Merel huffed “Ja tuurlijk alsof jij hebt gewonnen, ik check dat later nog wel” (Yeah sure as if you’ve won, i’ll check that later)

esmeebrugts

When iopened instagram this wasn’t what i expected. I ran up to my room and saw Esmee watching some Netflix show on her bed. When she saw my face she bursted out laughing. “Als blikken konden doden..” (If looks could kill..) she said. I walked straight to her bed, jumped on her and started tickling her. “Dat is wat je krijgt, ik moet mn fifa imago hoog houden!” (That’s what you get, i got to keep my fifa image high!) I yelled. “Oke oke! Ik zal het nooit meer doen pinky zweer!” (Okay Okay! I will never do it again pinky promise!) she told me with that stupid smile of her. I stopped and looked down at her, how is she even this pretty like come on.. Esmee looked me in the eyes, at my lips and then away. I got nervous and backed up.

“Uhh ja d-dus ik ga nu dus ik ga even iets uhh ja ik ga gewoon oke..” (Uhh yeah s- so im gonna get like some uhh yeah i’m just gonna go okay..) I mumbled and ran away bumping into Daan who was walking to her room.

Before we knew it we were off to Sydney, Australia. Vic forced me out of my window seat but slept before the plane was off the ground, what a waste of that window seat.. This was gonna be the most boring and long 24 hours of my life.

I was so tired when we landed, only getting a few hours of sleep. We were welcomed by a few staff members from fifa and went into the coach who would bring us to our basecamp.

I chose the best window seat i could find and expected a certain Arsenal player to sit next to me but Esmee beat her to it.

We talked about what we wanted to do in Australia, our opponents and family. When Esmee asked me about life in the wsl i was already fast asleep, my head resting on her shoulder.

Esmee looked down at y/n and started smiling. Vic saw the interaction and tapped Daan on her shoulder. They gave each other knowing looks and started giggling away. Esmee looked up and saw the duo staring at her, she went red at the idea of being caught staring at y/n. She turned her head quickly and stared out of the window, falling asleep not long after.

When i woke up i heard giggling and saw Vicky and Daan looking at Daans phone. I chose to ignore it and went on to look at my instagram feed.

daniellevddonk

“Danielle van de Donk, Victoria Pelova. Het maakt me niet uit hoe klein jullie zijn ik maak je dood” (Daniëlle van de Donk, Victoria Pelova. I don’t care how small you are i’ll kill you) I yelled maybe a little too hard because Esmee woke up. “Hey wat is er aan de hand?” (Hey what’s going on) she asked me, rubbing the sleep from her eyes. I showed her Daan’s story and she just shrugged “Awh zo erg is dat toch niet, je ziet er schattig uit” (Awh it’s not that bad, you look cute). I don’t know what came over me but i just started to blush and looked away making Vic and Daan laugh even harder.

The rest of the camp went smoother than i thought. I was roomed with Esmee and we did almost everything together. We played fifa, boardgames, sat at the same table and if it wasn’t that we were out exploring together. Most of the time we just got lost but that’s when google maps comes in handy.

We ended first in our group. Esmee making those two beautiful goals against Vietnam and I made my debut and debut goal.

When Andries announced that i was starting against Vietnam i was over the moon. The game started good with Lieke making the first goal in the 8th minute and Katja the second in the 11th. Esmee saw her chance and took a shot. Everyone knew it was in when the ball went off her foot. I was the first one to jump on her to celebrate, hugging her tightly. “Es! Es, je hebt het gedaan!” (Es! Es, you did it!) I yelled

My goal was much less spectacular. Jill hit the post and the ball landed at my feet, I tapped it in through the legs of the keeper and to the back of the net. I couldn’t even do a celebration because everyone was already on me. It’s not like celebrations are a nedwnt thing anyway.

When Esmee scored her second goal i was on the bench but that didn’t stop me from celebrating just as hard.

The game ended and i ran straight to Esmee, congratulating her on those two rockets.

y/l/nfanxx isn’t that y/n and esmee??

↳ brugtsfan1 i think so, they’re so cute

↳ woso23 i ship them so hard 🫶

After our win against South Africa we had to play against Spain in the quarterfinals. This was our most difficult game and everyone knew it. But we all knew that if we were gonna win the World Cup, we should be able to beat every team.

It was the night before the game and surprise surprise, i couldn’t sleep. I don’t even know why, there was no chance that i would even play so who am i so nervous for?

after going from side to side i couldn’t take it anymore and just got out of bed and went on a walk. I walked to the pitch and started shooting and taking corners. I ran a few laps around the pitch and sat down. Australia is actually unreal. The weather is perfect and the sky is so clear you can even see stars (or planes that look like stars but whatever).

I heard footsteps walking towards me and groaned. “Hey waarom lig je niet in bed?” (Hey why are you not in bed?) Esmee asked as she sat next to me. “Ik kan niet slapen en jij?” (I can’t sleep and you?). Me neither she told me. This time around the silence wasn’t as awkward, it felt kinda nice to be honest.

Esmee wrapped her arms around me and layed my head on her shoulder. I don’t think i actually hate that stupid smile of hers or anything about her really. I quite love everything about her, especially her stupid smile.

“Y/n, ze hebben me bij Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester City en een paar uhh.. andere clubs een contract aangeboden” (Y/n, Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester City and uhh a few.. other clubs have have offered me a contract) she told me. “Es dat is geweldig, dan spelen we samen in de wsl” (Es that’s amazing, we’ll play in the wsl together) I cried. She gave me a nod and a hum.

Esmee turned her head and i looked up at her. “Ik hou meer van je dan alleen je rechter voet weet je” (I love you more than just your right foot you know) i told her looking down at my lap. She just chuckled and took my face into her hand. “Je hebt geluk dat ik ook van fifa verliezers hou” (you’re lucky i love fifa losers too), i fake angry pushed her away and she let out a laugh. “En jij hebt geluk dat ik je mag” (And you’re lucky that i like you) i told her. She looked at my eyes and then at my lips. I leaned forward and kissed her. Luckily she kissed me back.

We walked back to our room and fell asleep in her bed, her legs entwined with mine and my head in the crook of her neck.

When i woke up Es was already awake, getting ready in the bathroom. I walked up to her brushing her teeth and kissed her on cheek “good morning” I told her “Ik kan niet wachten tot je straks ook in Engeland speelt en we elke dag zo wakker kunnen worden” (Can’t wait until you’ll play in England too and we’ll wake up like this every morning) She gave me a lopsided smile and i started to get ready too.

I started on the bench and Esmee was starting. The game was tight, Spain scored in the 81th minute through a penalty. In extra time we scored. We still had a chance. And just like that, our dream was crushed. Spain scored in the 111th minute and we were out.

Esmee sank to the floor and covered her face with her hands. The spanish players were celebrating while our dream was gone.

I walked to Esmee and sat infront of her. “Es, je hebt gedaan wat je kon.” (Es, you did what you could) I told her and gave her a hug.

“Y/n ik ga naar Barça” (Y/n i’m going to Barça) she told me.

How stupid could i be, falling in love with someone i knew for a few months. How fucking stupid could i be, expecting her to come to England for me.

Just when i thought today couldn’t get worse... The tears rolled down my cheeks again and i walked away towards the tunnel, Vic screaming my name but i just ignored her.

A/N this is my first fic, english is not my first language so i’m sorry if i made mistakes!! might make a part 2?!

Netherlands

FIFA Ranking: 8

Reputation:

The Netherlands won the 2018 Euros and reached the final of the 2019 World Cup, but in 2022 they dropped from 4th place to 8th place in the FIFA world rankings. This is a result of a team who has a solid base, but suffers if its stars are not available. Some of their strongest players aren’t playing at their best any more, and their extremely capable goalie from 2019, Sari Van Veenendaal, has retired, leaving huge shoes to fill. Additionally, the coach that led them to the 2019 World Cup final has since taken a job at England, leaving the team in the hands of less-experienced and very recent addition, Andries Jonker. Their most important game in the group will be the repeat of the 2019 final, Netherlands v. USA, where the Dutch walked away with silver.

Player Pool:

Netherlands’ stars from the 2019 World Cup are in the team’s midfield: Lieke Martens and Danielle Van de Donk. I would normally include Vivianne Miedema, but she was ruled out of the tournament with an ACL injury. The team will need to rely on veterans Sherida Spitse (captain), Shanice van de Sanden, and Jill Roord to pull them past the group stage.

2019 WWC Performance: 

The Netherlands skyrocketed into the final this year, winning their group and finding results in every game in the elimination round, except for the USA. Their game against Sweden went to extra time, but they showed the grit and talent to make it to the final.  They had an impressive number of goalscorers, with the top being Vivianne Miedema, and the goalie Sari Van Veenendaal won the tournament’s Golden Glove award, and is my Netherlands MVP.

Portugal

FIFA Ranking: 21

Reputation: 

It will surprise most people that Portugal is also a World Cup debutante–they are the highest FIFA-ranked debutante team– their inclusion this year is due to one of the extra European confederation spots in the expanded field. Despite never having qualified, Portugal has been a staple in the women’s game for years as they host the Algarve Cup, a yearly international invitational tournament that is considered a “Mini World Cup” that has run since 1994– making it the second longest running women's soccer tournament, other than the World Cup itself. Portugal will likely beat fellow debutante Vietnam in their group, but will likely not find results in games against the USA and the Netherlands, the gold- and silver-medalists of the 2019 World Cup.

Player Pool:

Portugal has several veteran players with over 100 caps, but there isn’t a front-runner that has scored massive amounts of goals for the country. FIFA pinpoints Dolores Silva as the player to watch, a dynamic midfield veteran that scored a couple goals in their path to qualify for 2023. 

2019 WWC performance:

Did not qualify

Vietnam

FIFA Ranking: 33

Reputation: 

After narrowly missing out on both the 2015 and 2019 World Cup, Vietnam finally qualified for 2023, and followed up their qualification by winning the 2023 Southeast Asia Playoffs, in which fellow debutante the Philippines didn’t make it out of their group. To help the growth of women's soccer in their country, there is a semi-professional league  that almost all of the players are in.  An interesting twist in their qualification is that some of their games were against Asian teams that were still suffering substantial player unavailability due to covid–but Vietnam’s luck ran out when the country got placed in this group with the USA and the Netherlands. 

Player Pool:

Since almost all of the team plays domestically, there isn’t a lot known about the team. Captain Huỳnh Như and midfielder Nguyễn Thị Tuyết Dung are the leading scorers.

2019 WWC performance:

Did not qualify

South Africa lose to Netherlands in World of round of 16

Netherlands manager Andries Jonker says his team have come to the Women's World Cup "with the conviction that we can beat everybody" after securing a quarter-final spot against Spain. The Netherlands were forced to endure several anxious moments before defeating South Africa and booking a place in the last eight. They will have to face Spain without experienced midfielder Danielle van de Donk, who picked up a second yellow card of the tournament and is suspended. Former Arsenal player Van de Donk, a Champions League winner with current club Lyon, broke down in tears at full-time knowing she will miss the quarter-final after starting all 15 World Cup games in Netherlands' history. "We have this conviction, it's not the last game for Danielle. It's very disappointing she got a yellow card but we can't change it," said Jonker. "Danielle has very specific qualities that we really need and we will miss those qualities. "But we've got a lot of other good midfielders and that's what we'll need to work out over the next few days." Jill Roord, Manchester City's new club record signing, nodded the Netherlands ahead but South Africa went close to equalising several times against the 2019 runners-up. Banyana Banyana captain Thembi Kgatlana was once again a real handful and forced four fine saves from Daphne van Domselaar, Aston Villa's new goalkeeper, in front of a crowd of 40,233 at Sydney Football Stadium. Lineth Beerensteyn doubled the lead after a mistake by South Africa keeper Kaylin Swart in the second half. The Netherlands will return to New Zealand to face Spain in Wellington on Friday at 02:00 BST for a place in the semi-finals. Read the full article

Đối thủ đội Việt Nam gây sốc trước World Cup nữ 2023

Although still recovering from injury, Vivianne Miedema, an experienced player, has unexpectedly been called up to the Dutch team. This is the opponent of the Vietnamese team in Group E at the 2023 World Cup finals according to the information on https://okchoi44.com/ .

Theo báo cáo trên trang NU, tuyển thủ Vivianne Miedema đang trong giai đoạn phục hồi sau chấn thương rách dây chằng và dự kiến sẽ trở lại tập trung cùng đội tuyển nữ Hà Lan vào cuối tuần tới, nhằm chuẩn bị cho giải đấu World Cup nữ 2023.

Tiền đạo nữ của CLB Arsenal (Anh) đã chia sẻ: "Sự khác biệt duy nhất giữa tôi và đội tập luyện ngoài sân là tôi tập luyện trong phòng tập. Tuy nhiên, tôi sẽ tham gia vào các cuộc họp và các bữa ăn cùng đội. Điều này giúp tôi có cơ hội trò chuyện với đồng đội và chia sẻ kinh nghiệm của mình."

Tôi sẽ tham gia trao đổi với đội và HLV trong suốt giải đấu. Ý tưởng này đã được đưa ra bởi HLV Andries Jonker và tôi thấy nó thực sự tuyệt vời. Trong môi trường thể thao cao cấp, chấn thương có thể khiến bạn dễ dàng bị lãng quên. Nhưng ông ấy đã nhớ đến tôi, điều này sẽ giúp tôi cải thiện tình trạng cá nhân của mình trong suốt giải đấu.

Trước đó, tuyển thủ của đội tuyển Hà Lan, còn được gọi là "Cơn lốc màu da cam," đã gặp chấn thương vào tháng 12 năm trước trong một trận đấu cho CLB Arsenal. Tuyển thủ nữ này cũng là người dẫn đầu danh sách ghi bàn mọi thời đại của tuyển Hà Lan. Trong một cuộc phỏng vấn với đài BBC, cô thừa nhận rằng cần nhiều tháng để phục hồi và khẳng định rằng không có hy vọng để cô thi đấu tại World Cup 2023.

Trước đó, đội tuyển dưới sự dẫn dắt của HLV Andries Jonker đã loại bỏ 4 cầu thủ khỏi danh sách tri��u tập ban đầu gồm Tiny Hoekstra, Alieke Tuin, Romee Leuchter và Kika van Es. Trong số này, hậu vệ Kika van Es đã gây bất ngờ khi quyết định rút lui khỏi sự nghiệp quần đùi áo số. Hậu vệ 31 tuổi được cho là đã đưa ra quyết định này sau khi trải qua sự tác động tâm lý của việc sảy thai vào cuối mùa giải, và sau đó bị loại khỏi đội tuyển quốc gia.

Ngày 30-6, tuyển nữ Hà Lan sẽ rút gọn danh sách từ 26 cầu thủ xuống còn 23 cầu thủ cuối cùng để chuẩn bị cho World Cup nữ 2023. Sau đó, vào ngày 2-7, đội tuyển sẽ có trận giao hữu với tuyển Bỉ trước khi di chuyển đến Sydney để tham gia quá trình tập luyện từ ngày 9 đến 17-7. Trong thời gian này, tuyển nữ Hà Lan cũng sẽ có thêm một trận giao hữu với tuyển nữ Hàn Quốc.

At the 2023 Women's World Cup, the Netherlands, the defending runner-up, is one of three opponents of the Vietnamese team in Group E. The match between these two teams will take place in the final round of the group stage on January 1. 8. Before that, the Vietnamese team will face the defending champion USA on July 22 and Portugal on July 27.

Oranje speelt deze periode interlands tegen Costa Rica en Denemarken. Daarin gaan we het 5-3-2-systeem weer terugzien. "De kans is groot dat we daar in de eerste of tweede wedstrijd op terugkomen", aldus Andries Jonker.

Jonker is blij dat Oranje tegen Costa Rica en Denemarken kan oefenen. "Ze gaan allebei naar het WK, daarom zijn het prima tegenstanders. Dat zijn beide landen die je heel serieus moet nemen."

2018-19 Bundesliga Preview: VfL Wolfsburg

It was not that long ago that Wolfsburg was a contender for the international places in the Bundesliga and won the DFB Cup against Borussia Dortmund in the final. Now the “Wolves” are licking their wounds after a horrendous season and will look to bounce back. Can Wolfburg establish themselves in the top half of the table or will they once again battle relegation?

Last Season

Bundesliga: 16th place – 33 points (6W-15D-13L)

DFB Cup: Quarterfinal – 1:0 loss against Schalke 04

6 wins, 15 draws and 13 losses led to a measly 33 points and 16th place last season. A terrible result for a team that aimed to compete for the international places at the start of the season. Instead they had to play in the relegation games against Holstein Kiel for the right to stay in the Bundesliga. The “Wolves” were fairly dominant in both of those games wining both (1:0 and 3:1) but this is of course not what they had in mind when they started the season.

Most of their transfers last season flopped, Camacho, Dimata, Mehmedi and Origi all failed to leave a lasting impression. In addition injuries like John Anthony Brooks’ tendon tear didn’t help.

Just four games into the season Wolfburg already made a change at the coaching position, replacing Andries Jonker with Martin Schmidt. Nevertheless the change didn’t yield the success they envisioned and they let go of the Swiss coach after just 19 games with Wolfsburg being in 14th place at the time. Bruno Labbadia took over for the remaining 11 games but he couldn’t turn things around with only 2 victories and the team finishing in 16th place.

Transfers

Transfers in:

Daniel Ginczek (ST) – VfB Stuttgart – 14€ million

Wout Weghorst (ST) – AZ Alkmaar – 10.50€ million

Jérôme Roussillon (LB) – HSC Montpellier – 8€ million

Marcel Tisserand (CB) – FC Ingolstadt – 7€ million

Felix Klaus (RW) – Hannover 96 – 3€ million

Pavao Pervan (GK) – LASK – unknown

Transfers out:

Daniel Didavi (CAM) – VfB Stuttgart – 4€ million

Landry Dimata (ST) – RSC Anderlecht – Loan

Divock Origi (ST) – FC Liverpool – Loan end

Once again Wolfsburg have invested a significant amount of money into their squad. In recent years that didn’t exactly pan out as expected but they are finally looking to tunr things around and find their footing in the Bundesliga.

Ginczek, Klaus and Tisserand who spend already last year on loan in Wolfsburg, know the Bundesliga well and will probably not need much time to fit into Wolfsburg’s squad. Especially the acquisition of Klaus for only 3€ million is a good transfer for the “Wolves”, the winger scored 4 goals and had 9 assists last season for Hannover. Weghorst and Roussillon on the other hand are two relative unknowns. Wout Weghorst had somewhat of a breakout season in the Netherlands last season scoring 27 goals in 37 games for Alkmaar but it remains to be seen if he can reproduce that scoreline in the Bundesliga. Wolfsburg hope the addition of Roussillon will help to shore up the left back position which was a problem last season after losing Ricardo Rodriguez in the summer of 2017.

Daniel Didavi, Landry Dimata and Divock Origi are the only players that left Wolfsburg that played significant minutes for the club. However none of them made a big impact last season, especially Didavi and Origi disappointed.

What to expect in 2018/19

Nobody really knows what to expect from VfL Wolfsburg. Personally I expected them to make a coaching change this summer but surprisingly they decided to keep going with Labbadia, a decision that could very well backfire.

The additions are solid but they will need better performances from players like Brooks, Arnold, Mehmedi and Malli if they want to avoid yet another relegation battle. On paper this team is good enough to finish in the middle of the table or with a bit of luck even make a run for a top 6 spot. However if they once again have injury problems or some of their players struggle they might find themselves in yet another relegation battle.

If Wolfsburg find success it will most likely be because of a strong defense built around their young and talented centerback duo of John Anthony Brooks and Ohis Felix Uduokhai. Their midfield consisting of Camacho, Guilavogui and Arnold is also talented enough to put their young wingers, Klaus and Brekalo in some good situations that they can take advantage of. The biggest unknown for Wolfsburg will be if either Ginczek or Weghorst can score regularly for a team that otherwise lacks players that can be a threat in front of the goal.

Prediction: Solid mid-table finish

Wolfsburg truly are unpredictable for the upcoming season. Their transfers are solid but they will hope that players like Brooks, Mehmedi and Malli will finally find their form in Wolfsburg and propel them into the first half of the table or even further. However that is only if everything goes right for the “Wolves”, in the end they will probably find themselves in the 9th-12th range.
