Hoeneß sets the course: How VfB plan to respond to Porto exit! | OneFootball

Just three days after being eliminated from the Europa League by FC Porto, VfB Stuttgart is already back in action in the Bundesliga.

Against FC Augsburg, important points are at stake in the battle for Champions League qualification!

But how can the Swabians manage to shake off the two bitter matches against Porto?

"We are disappointed about the defeat and being knocked out, but at the same time we are convinced that, with the unity, willingness, and intensity we showed there, we can also deliver a good performance on Sunday in Augsburg," explained head coach Sebastian Hoeneß at the pre-match press conference.

VfB will have to do just that. Because if you look only at the second-half-of-the-season table, Augsburg is in a strong fifth place. FCA has collected just two points fewer than their rivals from Stuttgart!
