Wolfsburg striker Bendtner Finally he shines
The substitute of the VfL Wolfsburg immediately ran Los just manages to Nicklas Bendtner. He had just his equalizer prevented the seemingly secure defeat in the Supercup against Bayern shortly before the end of the regular 90 minutes. When goal scorers arrived, the substitute buried him in jubilation among themselves. The other colleagues rushed gradually to Bendtner.
In the ensuing penalty shoot his luck was perfect: He changed the last attempt safely. The Wolfsburg picked up the first mini title of the season and were allowed to thank for it, especially in Bendtner. The crowd at the Stadion am Mittellandkanal yelled his name with such fervor that the cry probably to Braunschweig and Hanover was audible.
On the square was by him so far little to see
It is not often that Bendtner is celebrated in Wolfsburg. Strictly speaking, the game was about the Supercup his first real gloss appearance for the club from Lower Saxony. While you could argue about the importance of the annual duel between champions and cup winners, still she had great value for Bendtner. He ran image cultivation and might be battered confidence polish.
For a year now the attacker from Denmark plays in Wolfsburg, the purpose of this transfer has not yet opened. In 18 Bundesliga appearances - most of which lasted as in the Supercup a few minutes - he managed just one hit. In the Europa League, he scored at least four goals in eight games.
A stir Bendtner rather off the field. In his time at Arsenal he was photographed as he morning with his pants down left a nightclub at four clock. 2013 he was arrested in Copenhagen after an alcohol driving and flew for half a year from the national team. Recently there have been reports of an alleged Rose war with his ex-girlfriend. That Bendtner in social media is a cult figure, has less to do with his arts to do as a footballer as much more with the scandals and anomalies of the Lord - that is his nickname.
"For his career, it's five to twelve '
In recent training camp in Donaueschingen Wolfsburg Bendtner was sentenced to one training, basic was his poor performance in a friendly against Ajax Amsterdam. In addition there was a public admonition of coach Dieter Hecking: ". I think he can play a long time at a good level, but for his career it's five to twelve, and he knows it," Hecking said about the 27-year-old attacker.
Bendtners colleagues stand by him, showing the jubilee balls after his equalizer against Bayern, and show the words of defender Ricardo Rodriguez. "I am pleased enormous that it makes the gate he had not an easy time, and has earned the Results . " Those responsible annotated Bendtners appearance with less euphoria. "We have always said that he may in principle," said sporting director Klaus Allofs.
But the fundamental skills of course not enough to pass the professional football world, let alone the ambitious VfL Wolfsburg. Nevertheless, the association wants to be patient with the maladjusted. For some players it takes years until they made the breakthrough, Allofs said. According to recent disciplinary action is even hope that Bendtner has learned his lesson. "For seven to ten days, he understood what we want from him," said coach Hecking. That Bendtner in the new season plays an influential role, but is unlikely. He's only striker number three behind Bas Dost and Max Kruse, the Wolfsburg have just bought for twelve million euros of Mönchengladbach.
After the victory against FC Bayern Bendtner stood in the interview zone of Wolfsburg stadium and obviously had little fun to be funneled from one camera to the next microphone. In English, he reported on his wooden gate and the fact that it was difficult to compare the VfL Wolfsburg with the record champion from Munich. One last question, when asked about his personal goals for the season: "I have some," Bendtner said. But he will of course not reveal.
