Wolfsburg (dpa) - Wolfsburg's sports director Marcel Schäfer cannot understand the recurring discussions about a lack of tradition at VfL.
"I accept it, but I can not understand it," said Schäfer at the DAZN streaming service.
"Because most of them are fans of very traditional clubs, where often the work has not been done that well for years."
Schäfer added: "Sometimes I have the feeling that it is more of a kind of overcoming the frustration of some football fans."
The 36-year-old former national player, who played for Lower Saxony for a long time and has been sports director since 2018, sees it more like this: “Anyone who takes a closer look at VfL Wolfsburg, its history and its present, will definitely become one Develop sympathy. "
Schäfer does not mind VfL's image as a VW club.
«For me it is inseparable.
We belong to Volkswagen, we are Volkswagen.
We are very proud of that. "

After eight games in the Bundesliga, VfL is still unbeaten and is sixth in the table.
