Nine times the Swabia stayed without his own hit this season. Also little surprisingly at the 0: 2 against Dortmund last Friday. A balance that had suggested. Already on the matchday before the 1: 1 against Arminia Bielefeld, the Swabia had made too little from their many chances. A problem that moves through the entire season and was clearly visible against the table seconds.
"Efficiency is the difference"
"We had more big opportunities than Dortmund," says Sven Mislinat, who mainly rewards the possibilities in the final strap of the game, "which could have brought us back to the game after 0: 2". As Borna Sosa (80th) with a Schlenzer, the BVB-Keeper Gregor Kobel from the corner fished, as well as Konstantinos Mavropanos (81th) and Roberto Massimo (85th) with two headballs, which remained unsuccessful from close proximity to their target, unsuccessful. "Dortmund had two, three, four situations," said the Stuttgart sports director. "Above all, two, where they were extremely effective. Efficiency is the difference."
Efficiency that does not miss the Stuttgart by the bank away for the first time. Especially and only right when SASA Kalajdzic is missing. At the beginning of last week, the Austrian had logged out because of an initially unclear and conclusively secured positive corona tests in the domestic situation. Nevertheless, the Stuttgart had more easily against the BVB. With a changed approach offensively, with more pace through Chris Leaf, Omar Marmoush and Tiago Tomas and sharp, flat instead of high, wide in the opposing penalty area. "Sasa always does us good," says Mishintat. "But on the other hand, you play against Dortmund, against which you have much more switching situations in which a tempo player can also good."
Against the BVB it worked very well without Kalajdzic
But would have, but not against the Dortmund four chain. The VfB lost the seventh of his recent eight home games against the Borussians with only one success. Kalajdzic was missing visibly. Alone with his core competence: the conclusion. "Interestingly, SASA played only once against Dortmund," says Mislinat and refers to the lack of the national player at the legendary 5: 1 on 12 December 2020 in Westphalia. "He was not there either. So it's hypothetical to say what had been with him."
Next Easter weekend at the Away Part at FSV Mainz 05, the two-meter man should be available again. The second corona infection of the striker has hitherto been harmless. "Sasa is relatively symptom-free," says Stuttgarts Kaderplanner. Kalajdzic Plage "A little scratching in the throat. That should usually be done by Monday". Then the 24-year-old would have enough time to be able to prepare reasonably.
