The repertoire of a trainer is shown in crises!
Pellegrino Matarazzo (42) got the curve impressively at VfB. Fear? No! Doubt? No!
He changed tactics, stayed calm. When the pressure was greatest, the American stayed cool – and was rewarded for his courage.
When asked by BILD, the coach explains: “I wasn’t concerned with doubts and fear. I’m a bit different in type, I act solution-oriented. I don’t waste energy and don’t ask myself, ‘what if it doesn’t work’. I put all my energy into solutions until it clicks. “
Has it! VfB has scored eleven goals in the last two games, almost catapulting themselves to second place.
Now the climb is only a matter of form: “Of course there is still pressure”, Matarazzo says dutifully and adds: “But if you can count, you know that we have a good chance of pulling the thing on Sunday.”
The coach delivered his journeyman’s piece to VfB in six months: “If everything works out, it is also confirmation for me that I can do it.”
