The Bundesliga's not a competition to use, and that is precisely the main attraction: the vast majority of majors, the predictability of the favorites to be in the highlands of the classification and presumably will fight for lower positions do not prevent usually, with their logical exceptions, vary the provisions before the first day, but the German league has several seasons where he hit what might happen in the 36 days becomes the greatest of mysteries. This season there are several teams that are a pleasant surprise by the unexpected results as Borussia Dortmund, Hannover Mainz 96 or 05, but at the opposite pole is in the relegation zone champion two years ago: a Wolfsburg living days of uncertainty despite being designed for companies with more substance.
Not only the Volkswagen team is in an unexpected situation: on the top, Bayern , champions, reach the third place that would lead to the preview of the Champions League. The runners-up Schalke, is lost in the middle of the table but Raúl's team has saved the season in the Cup final and Champions League semifinals. Also Werder Bremen or Stuttgart, uptown usual wander around places of danger. But Wolfsburg is the case of the most striking for what its radical change in just three seasons.
Felix Magath was the architect from the bench for the victory in the league, the first in club history. Since then, the bench of the Volkswagen Arena has experienced a period of instability that have passed technical and Armin Veh, Steve McClaren, who began this season after the Twente Dutch champion, or Littbarski, ad interim. Over the past few days returned Magath after a difficult step to ensure Schalke return the glory days, but the primary objective will be to remove the equipment from the threat of relegation.
After being champions in 2008/09, last year went through a difficult season in which he finished eighth. For this campaign would not go away from the highest positions and the club, supported with money from the German carmaker, spared no expense to return to the top. That came as the Brazilian players Diego, from Juventus for 15 million, the Danish central Kjaer, sought by all major Italian from Palermo, or the central also Friedrich, head of the German team in the World Cup. The decline was the most sensitive of Misimovic Bosnian, Russian petrodollars seduced by Dynamo Moscow.
Misimovic formed with Grafite and Dzeko, the star, the great trident that led to winning the Bundesliga Wolfsburg. Grafite was the top scorer of that season followed by Dzeko, which he repeated a great season last year but was the international canarinho who did not match records, going to mark 29 points to stay at nine, who had joined them so far this season where his performance is well below expectations. The trident never again perform as that year. To make matters worse, poor campaign was that two of its pillars, the central Italian Barzagli and, above all, the Bosnian Dzeko, went during the winter to Juventus and Manchester City respectively. Money is not the problem at the club, but it costs to retain these players when the goal is to avoid relegation.
Magath's background is far from a loss, two draws and a victory, achieved on the last day to Cologne. Are now sixteenth in a league of eighteen, two points from safety with five days to play. They are not in a bad situation for achieving permanency and the potential of its workforce, the sixth most expensive Teutonic League invites think they will succeed. The opposite would be one of the biggest surprises of the European season.
