And how! VfB replayed the home matches against Borussia Monchengladbach and Augsburg after being late and winning each time 3-2.

Because the defender knows that it could have been completely different: “It was unbelievable how we achieved these victories, and the feelings that developed there. But we must not forget that we cannot always win matches like this.”
VfB had to make this bitter experience recently. The Swabians conceded a 1-1 draw against VfL Bochum in the last minute with a penalty kick, and at TSG 1899 Hoffenheim (1-2) they completely lost their lead before the end.
There is a lot of drama that one Stuttgart fan or the other might want to let go of. But next Saturday (3:30 p.m./sky) the next battle of nerves is already at stake.
