Sebastian Hoeneß is no longer interested in fond memories of Madrid and expressly refers to Anton

VfB faces BVB in the match

After the match against the Champions League winners on the international stage, Stuttgart will face the finalists of the Champions League season on a national level on Sunday. In the home game, VfB will face BVB and Sebastian Hoeneß wants to give Dortmund their biggest challenge of the season so far. Dortmund is undefeated in all three competitions in the still young season. The Stuttgart players had an extra day to recover, they had Thursday off, and that should also put an end to the game in Madrid. The coach did not want to share his experiences and memories in the press conference, but wanted to focus on the next game. His team is fit, everyone is fresh and rested, there will be no major rotation, but changes in one or two positions are conceivable. The list of injured players is not all that long except for Diehl and Stergiou. Al Dakhil and Nartey are not yet an option for the game against Dortmund, but they are fully training. For Daxo Zagadou, the starting eleven is still too early, but a place in the squad seems to be secure. One personnel issue will probably be a big topic for the fans on Sunday. Waldemar Anton moved from VfB to BVB at the start of the season, having previously stressed several times that he would feel at home in Stuttgart. For Sebastian Hoeneß, this issue is over; he had expressly agreed with Anton that there would be no bad blood on his part. However, he can understand the voices of the VfB supporters and also sees the fact that things could have gone differently in terms of communication. “We would be well advised to ignore things and concentrate on the essentials.” He was referring to the game against BVB. The coach hopes “that we are cheered on and that the energy is used to get support, but it will probably still be the case that Waldi will have to put up with something.”
