Unlikely Hero saves VfB
VfB Stuttgart held their own against the league leaders, securing an impressive 2-2 draw. Following a tough 4-0 loss to Bayern Munich earlier this season and a crushing 7-1 defeat to Dortmund in recent weeks, doubts lingered about VfB’s ability to compete with top teams. Those doubts were silenced this weekend as VfB adopted a more cautious approach, guided by advice from @Danimal5981. The strategy paid off, limiting Bayern to just nine shots, with only four on target.
Despite the defensive improvement, the spotlight belongs to striker Ermedin Demirovic. Making his first start in over a month, Demirovic delivered a heroic performance, scoring both goals to earn a vital point for his side.
"E.D. did everything we asked of him. After the January he went through, a lot of players would have put their heads down and faded away. Not E.D. He stepped up and proved he wants to be here. Instead of sulking, he doubled down and earned his place back—for now," coach Markus Fielder said after the match.
I....... KNEW IT! Ermedin Demirovic didn't leave in January, and I always had a feeling he would find his way back and now has three in the last two. Including a brace vs Bayern. Obviously he still needs to adapt to the role you have laid out for him and all that. But with the right mindset I could really see him claw his way back. Interesting to follow!
He has made his way back for now! The new way of not pressing as hard and of slowing down the tempo is really fitting his style over other strikers.
