Wolfsburg had a very poor performance for most of last season. The “Wolves,” under the leadership of Niko Kovač, were hovering near the relegation zone, leading to Kovač’s dismissal. Wolfsburg then brought in former Southampton and RB Leipzig coach Ralph Hasenhüttl, who managed to turn things around. In the end, the “Wolves” finished in 12th place, only 4 points clear of the relegation playoff zone.
During the summer, Wolfsburg signed five new players, notably including a new goalkeeper, Kamil Grabara, who joined from Copenhagen.
The first match of the season proved surprisingly difficult for Wolfsburg. In the DFB-Pokal, the “Wolves” only managed a 1-0 win against fifth-tier side TuS Koblenz.
“No one on the team wants to go another season without trophies,” said Manuel Neuer. Last season was an unusual one for Bayern Munich. They finished third in the Bundesliga, were knocked out of the DFB-Pokal by Saarbrücken, lost the German Super Cup to RB Leipzig, and were eliminated by Real Madrid in the Champions League semifinals. These disappointments led to the dismissal of Thomas Tuchel. However, few expected that he would be replaced by Vincent Kompany, who was relegated from the Premier League with Burnley last season.
In Kompany’s debut match, Bayern easily handled Ulm from the 2. Bundesliga in the DFB-Pokal, winning 4-0.
Among the summer signings, notable additions include former Crystal Palace star Michael Olise, João Palhinha from Fulham, and Hiroki Ito from Stuttgart.
