Wolfsburg vs Augsburg preview - Hecking happy with his Wolf pack



Posted Saturday, October 04, 2014 by PA

Wolfsburg coach Dieter Hecking is happy with the progress his team are making, but says they must now start delivering the results.

A draw with Lille in the Europa League on Thursday was a disappointing result, but not necessarily a disappointing performance.

"I always look at the big picture and I can say that our development in our last games has been going in the right direction," Hecking said at a press conference.

"We played a good game against Lille. At the end of the day, I know that only the result matters, and of course we're not happy with this considering the way the game went."

Getting the result on Sunday against Augsburg is therefore the priority, even if Hecking is expecting it to be a fight at the VW-Arena.

"Augsburg are very uncomfortable opponents, but we've got to be even more uncomfortable," he said.

"We need to make it clear to them right from the start that they're not going to get anything here."

That is not how his opposite number Markus Weinzierl sees it, however.

After picking up three wins in their last four games, he is keen to continue his side's rise up the standings by remaining ahead of the Wolves in the table.

"We showed in Leverkusen how we can hold our own away to top teams," Weinzierl said. "Now we want to reward ourselves with at least a point."

Augsburg have not lost on three previous visits to the VW-Arena.

"We've always looked good there, but now we've got to work hard to ensure the same this Sunday because Wolfsburg have been playing particularly well at home this season."

Sascha Molders is still out for the visitors while captain Paul Verhaegh is rated doubtful.

Hecking may rotate his team slightly for this, their seventh game in the space of 22 days.
