Comments on: Matchday 9: “We are going to spend like never before (…) We want our rivals to have to follow our progress at the top of the table through binoculars.” – Uli Hoeneß http://bundesliga.theoffside.com/teams/matchday-9-we-are-going-to-spend-like-never-before-we-want-our-rivals-to-have-to-follow-our-progress-at-the-top-of-the-table-through-binoculars-uli-hoenes.html News from The German Bundesliga Tue, 24 Nov 2009 11:57:57 -0600 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Jan http://bundesliga.theoffside.com/teams/matchday-9-we-are-going-to-spend-like-never-before-we-want-our-rivals-to-have-to-follow-our-progress-at-the-top-of-the-table-through-binoculars-uli-hoenes.html#comment-1260 Jan Thu, 11 Oct 2007 22:29:57 +0000 http://bundesliga.theoffside.com/teams/matchday-9-we-are-going-to-spend-like-never-before-we-want-our-rivals-to-have-to-follow-our-progress-at-the-top-of-the-table-through-binoculars-uli-hoenes.html#comment-1260 Hitzlsperger doesn't want to be a leader. He once gave an interview in which he stated that he enjoys being a player who does his job in the background. Which doesn't mean he couldn't play the part. I somehow fancy Roberto Hilbert for the job, even though he is really too young and all that. Hitzlsperger doesn’t want to be a leader.

I don't know. There aren't a lot of options. Hitz, maybe? As a leader… I don’t know. There aren’t a lot of options. Hitz, maybe?

Though, which Stuttgart player would be a better fit? Good point about Meira not being the most stable captain. Though, which Stuttgart player would be a better fit?

It tends to revolve around her belief that Stuttgart needs a more stable captain, as they're a young team. Too much of a temper and not enough of a leader for a team that finds themselves in Stuttgart's position. So we'll see, I suppose...

Schaefer is definitely not on the same level as Hildebrand, but I wonder if he really plays such an important role in organising his defence. In the end, he played in Nuremberg last season. This club had one of the best defences that year. I don't know if you can blame it on the injuries either. Werder Bremen, while not playing their best football, are doing much better. Seems they have a psychological problem and they probably also face more serious opposition, now that they go into every match as defending champions.

They seemed pretty decent and a bit unlucky against Barcelona (!). Can it be something with Meira and Schaefer's marshalling of the defense? Hildebrand left, but I find it hard to attribute their form to his just loss. It's not their injured "Hammer" either, because they were crap before he got injured.
