BUNDESLIGA - Van Bommel's Wolfsburg tipped as Champions League outsider

Not only Ajax is seen as an outsider in the Champions League this season, but also VfL Wolfsburg is one of the contenders for the win in the billion-dollar ball. That's what Mario Gomez, former attacker, says. Especially because of the input of trainer Mark van Bommel.

He told Sportbuzzer that. "Mark was a born captain and in my eyes also a born trainer", praised the former striker. "He is an absolute leader. The players of VfL Wolfsburg must be very happy with him. As a player he always had good insight, spoke about the tactics and had a good overview. They can only congratulate the people there on the arrival of Van Bommel."

The Dutch coach is in a group with possibilities. RB Salzburg, Sevilla and OSC Lille are the opponents for the Dutch coach in the group stage of the Champions League. "I predict that Wolfsburg will go far in the tournament. I am fully committed to Mark with his team," thinks Gomez, who played together with the Dutchman at Bayern Munich in the past.

After an excellent start with VfL Wolfsburg, Van Bommel did not win in the Bundesliga in the last two games. Still, Gomez doesn't panic. "Mark has experience on the highest international stage and can make every Wolfsburg player better. Not only sportingly, but also mentally. I hope that VfL Wolfsburg will be successful. In any case, the start in the Bundesliga was promising," he said. first four wins out of the first four games.
