At VfL Wolfsburg, a small dispute between Max Kruse and Alexander Arnold was also an issue on the day of the match. However, Niko Kovac reacts extremely calmly.
“Apparently,” Max Kruse introduced with relish in his Instagram story, “I’m omnipresent in some heads. Someone always has to talk about me, keeps taking me as an example, even though nobody asks him.”
This did not mean an opponent, but actually a teammate. This annoyed tone was addressed to Alexander Arnold. In the kicker podcast ‘FE: Male view on football’, he explained that he was on the VfL grounds for quite a long time during the day – in contrast to Kruse.
He continued and explained smugly: “We know what it’s all about. Those who have less talent have to train more.”
Niko Kovac, however, took the small dispute that took place over the net lightly. However, this may also have been due to the fact that Wolfsburg had recently been able to celebrate a 3-0 win over Mainz 05.
“I don’t have a clue about it,” he explained easily, before adding with a smile: “I have no Instagram, no Twitter, no Facebook, I live behind the moon.” Accordingly, he could not say much about these statements, of which he allegedly did not notice that much.
Of course, it can be assumed that Kovac will not simply let this dispute run uncommented and possibly even let it grow. However, he did not see it as necessary to add fuel to the fire after a sovereign away win.
