    UNTER WÖLFEN UNTER WÖLFEN UNTER WÖLFEN VS. MATCHDAYMATCHDAY 1. SPIELTAG · 14.08. · 15.30 UHR LIEBELIEBE FANS,FANS, es geht wieder los! Nach knapp drei Monaten ohne Bundesliga- Fußball rollt das Leder wieder in den Stadien der Republik. Zum Auftakt der 59. Spielzeit seit Gründung der Bundesliga empfangen unsere Wölfe den Aufsteiger VfL Bochum . Nach elf Jahren Abstinenz heißen wir den Revierklub damit wieder im Oberhaus willkommen. Gemeinsam mit dem „blau-weißen VfL“ kehrt auch ein alter Bekannter zurück in die Autostadt: Aufstiegscoach Thomas Reis trainierte drei Jahre lang die grün-weißen A-Junioren, ehe er 2019 zu jenem Verein zurückkehrte, für den er zwischen 1995 und 2003 als Profi insgesamt 176 Partien bestritt. An alter Wirkungsstätte gelang dem 48-Jährigen das, woran zuvor zehn Trainer gescheitert waren: den Traditionsklub wieder erstklassig zu machen. Mit Mark van Bommel, frischem Trainerstab, vielversprechenden Neuzugängen und unserem heutigen Interview-Partner Koen Casteels als neuem Kapitän gehen die Wölfe in diese sicher inten- sive Spielzeit, in denen uns der Bundesliga-Alltag mit mindestens sechs, hoffentlich aber mehr Champions-League-Auftritten unter der Woche versüßt wird. Wir wünschen unserem neuen Chefcoach und seinen Schützlingen an dieser Stelle bereits viel Erfolg – auf nationalem wie auch auf internationalem Parkett. Wir alle haben in der zurückliegenden außerordentlich schwie- rigen Spielzeit darunter gelitten, aufgrund der Corona-Ein- schränkungen Spitzenfußball komplett ohne Zuschauerunterstützung in den Stadien erleben zu müssen. Umso erfreulicher ist es, dass wir zum heutigen Ligaauftakt wieder lautstarke Fans in unserer schönen Volkswagen Arena begrüßen dürfen – und damit ein wichtiger Schritt in Richtung Normalität gegangen werden kann. Damit die erfreuliche Entwicklung anhalten kann, ist eine hohe Impfquote ein entschei- dender Faktor.

While Japan certainly possess talented players and have not missed a World Cup since their 1998 debut, they consistently underwhelm once they arrive at the big show. This summer may not be any different for them, especially given the turmoil in terms of the now former head coach Vahid Halilhodzic being sacked one month ago. With players like Shinji Kagawa, or Keisuke Honda, Genki Haraguchi, or even Leicester City’s Shinji Okasaki, Japan will field the talent to win games.
