Nevertheless, the Swiss lacked on Saturday against Bielefeld not only in the starting eleven, he was certainly not surprisingly in the squad. Instead, Yannick Gerhardt started on the left wing and justified this trust with two scoring.

Kohfeldt founded the sanding of the 30-year-old, who had not participated in the final training, after the 4-0 victory against the Arminia as a “sporty decision after the training in the last days” – but then went closer to the background.

“We have discussed that before training in all reason. We then came together to decide that he does not participate in the final training,” says Kohfeldt, which, in many cases, was simply that was important that the group for this Game comes together – where we had the topic of team and together – can prepare for undisturbed. “

“Of course,” Steffen had not been “not happy” about this step. At the same time, Kohfeldt also stressed: “It’s not that no way back. That was a decision for a game.”
