Alexander Hleb delighted on being a part of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/VfL-Wolfsburg-c40881 this season - Bundesliga news
Former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Barcelona-c39078. Despite an injury that has ruled him out of action until October, he was acquired by VfL Wolfsburg in the recently concluded transfer window.
Die Wolfe manager Felix Magath rates the player highly and wishes to have him back in training at the earliest. According to Magath, Hleb could prove to be quite a handful for his side once he is back to full fitness.
For this part, the Belarus international has showed gratitude towards his new manager for signing him on loan despite knowing about his continuous knee problem. This is Hleb’s second stint with Magath, having previously played under his tutelage during his
Stuttgart days. The midfielder reserved praise for his manager saying that the 58-year-old makes best use of a player’s talent and is highly respected.
Magath, on the other hand, urged the club’s medical staff to work hard on the player’s fitness. He believes that the former Birmingham City man can bring consistency to the club’s results and could also lead his side to a top four finish. The manager aims
to carry his side into the next year’s UEFA Champions League but will have to work hard in order to achieve that feat.
Die Wolfe have achieved only one league win so far this season and are sitting 15th on the table with three points from four matches. The club will take on Schalke in their next league game on Sunday, September 11, at Volkswagen Arena.
Hleb concluded the talks by saying, "I would like to thank Felix Magath for believing in me, even though I am not really fit at the moment. In 10 to 14 days, I expect to be back in training. For me, it was important that I know the coach [from my time at
Stuttgart]. Wolfsburg is a step forward for me and I will again be successful here."
Hleb spent the last year on-loan at Birmingham City where he made 19 appearances and scored a solitary goal in return. He earned his http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Belarus-c2849 debut in 2001 and has 54 caps under his belt so far to go along with seven goals.
