Just five weeks after his surprise move from Union Berlin to Wolfsburg, striker Max Kreuz will meet his former side for the first time on Saturday in the Bundesliga. Wolfsburg coach Florian Kohfeldt says that Cruz knowing the Berliners well is neither an advantage nor a disadvantage. “You know what other people do. But other people also know what he does…” You can read here who Kohfeldt nominated for the base eleven alongside Kruse.

Starting 11 of VfL Wolfsburg against Union Berlin
Xaver Schlager is back in VfL starting at 11 for the first time since August. After a cruciate ligament injury, the Austrian was last substituted in a 2-2 win over Gladbach. Lucas Nmica, who has been out since December with an ankle injury, is back in the squad. Big surprise: Young Polish striker Bartosz Bialik plays in the starting lineup alongside Kroos and Jonas Wind.
Wolfsburg coach Kohfeldt has great respect for the Berlin players. “You can’t take your hat off to Union Berlin enough “What they did last season and what they did again this season,” said the 39-year-old. The semi-finalist of the Cup has “a clear structure and a clear line. In any case, they have already achieved their goal of keeping up with the class. Now they will definitely look and try to achieve international competition.”
This is how the union begins: Luthe – Baumgartl, Knoche, Heintz – Ryerson, Haraguchi, Khedira, Prömel, Oczipka – Becker, Awoniyi.
