Know the opposition
Verein für Leibesübungen Wolfsburg e. V., commonly known as VfL Wolfsburg, and nicknamed Die Wölfe (The Wolves) are a professional football club based in Wolfsburg, Lower Saxony, Germany; and were founded in 1945 as VSK Wolfsburg, a new club formed in the aftermath of World War II, taking on from the first football club BSG Volkswagenwerk Stadt des KdF-Wagen, which was formed primarily with autoworkers building the historic Volkswagen Beetle. After long periods of struggle in the Verbandsliga Niedersachsen, Regionalliga Nord, Amateur Oberliga Nord, and Bundesluga mediocrity; Wolfsburg have now emerged as one of the most competitive clubs in German Football, especially since the hiring of taskmaster Felix Magath, who with the high octane striker partnership of Edin Dzeko and Grafite, led them to their first Bundesliga title in 2008/ 2009. Wolfsburg play their home games at the Volkswagen Arena.
Star player(s)
Naldo and Vieirinha.
With the departure of Kevin De Bruyne to Manchester City, and Ricardo Rodriguez's subdued form - Wolfsburg have struggled to find a consistently excellent player through the duration of the current campaign. While the likes of Träsch, Dost, Kruse and Draxler have performed well (the latter attacking trio in spurts), the defensive duo of Vieirinha and Naldo have emerged as Wolfsburg's most influential players.
