Social action and projects are also of great concern to VfB outside Germany. For several years, VfB has supported charitable projects in Kenya.

Koen Casteels has long been one of the Wolves’ key players and has impressed again this season with his consistently top-drawer performances. In this interview he talks about the 5-1 victory in Bochum and the upcoming game against Mainz 05.

Eight signings were made in January and Potter admitted having little to do with one of them: Mykhaylo Mudryk. Whether or not he had a big hand in any of the others, then, is also questionable.

Edin Terzic on the balance of play:
We saw a really good performance from us. We immediately took control. In terms of efficiency, we took a really good step in the right direction compared to the derby last week. What is particularly nice is that nobody dropped off; rather, everyone produced a really good performance. There was a short spell in the first half in which they didn’t have so much desire to push and Cologne had more of the ball. We adjusted that at the break and deservedly won. We’re satisfied to go into the international break like this.

It’s the last fixture of a week for VfL. After success against Mainz, VfL will 1. FC Cologne for Saturday night’s crunch encounter. Let’s LOOK AHEAD to 1 FC Cologne:

Leverkusen and Mainz played out a five goal thriller on Sunday evening at the BayArena. The first half sprang into action in the 23rd minute when Finn Dahmen saved Edmond Tapsoba’s penalty, before Anthony Caci gave FSV the lead (26’). The hosts then leveled through Nadiem Amiri, before Leandro Barreiro restored Mainz’s advantage in first half injury time (45+3). Patrik Schick made it 2-2 shortly before the hour-mark and despite chances for both sides, it looked as if the game would end in draw. With just under 10 minutes remaining, however, the guests were awarded a penalty and Marcus Ingvartsen converted to give his side all three points (82’).
