Oliver Glasner (47) likes to talk modestly and elegantly to the side when there is too much praise.
“For my terms, I’m already too much in the center, one or the other song of praise makes me uncomfortable,” he once said in the BILD interview.
“I’m almost a bit embarrassed about what we supposedly did with the players. We only show them solutions,” he said in a press round.
“He got a little mushy with the coach,” he reacted ironically to enthusiasm from player Ajdin Hrustic.
Every recognition is more than justified. Then:
Glasner is the silent winner of the coach earthquake!
The XXL summer rotation in the league has almost only losers: Marco Rose is despairing again in Dortmund. Adi Hütter was facing expulsion in Gladbach. Jesse Marsch was already kicked out in Leipzig. Just like Mark van Bommel in Wolfsburg. Successor Florian Kohfeldt only got three wins in 12 league games. The only winners are Bayern’s Julian Nagelsmann and Glasner, who is also nibbling on the Champions League with Eintracht after starting problems.
Especially if he also shaves ex-club Wolfsburg and ex-boss Jörg Schmadtke (57) today (3:30 p.m.), with whom it once crashed.
Striking: Despite fewer squad changes, VfL has fallen rapidly since the summer without Glasner.
He’s hardly interested in the reasons: “I didn’t take the time to see what’s happening in Wolfsburg now.”
And the provocative BILD question as to whether he was just too good himself, he laughed away subtly: “Should I answer that? I don’t know, I don’t know.”
