Accidental Listerine Swallow

2-0 Champions League: Co for VfB - and Ziegler

What a drama! Marc Ziegler celebrated his season debut against Benfica for VfB Stuttgart, but on 52 minutes was again the detached Sven Ulreich in goal. Ziegler's debut ended with a severe concussion in the hospital. The ko was also VfB 0:2 knell in the second round of the Euro-league.

It's jinxed when the Reds. In the league it does not, the actions of coach Bruno Labbadia for the salvation of the Red inadequate access, and then this: After 23 league had decided to Labbadia inserts are the last means to avert the disaster. He changed the goalkeeper. Benfica Lisbon (first leg 1-2) Sven Ulreich had to the bench, instead, Marc Ziegler came to his season debut. Almost 50 minutes it went well. To the drama of the goalkeeper took its course.

Ziegler already on transportation again addressed

a shot from Nicolas Gaitan the keeper had blocked brilliantly. Then began after Gaitán and Ziegler met without intention, but with full force with the knee at the temple. VfB defender Matthieu Delpierre Ziegler stumbled over and fell on his head still on. Ziegler remained unconscious. Tried in vain club doctor Raymond Best, to elicit a reaction to him.

For the doctor it was clear from the hospital. There, doctors diagnosed a severe concussion. Ziegler was in transit again been responsive. "We now need to plug in any slap and get up again, "said sports director Fredi Bobic slightly fatalistic. Bruno Labbadia had to recalibrate. Command returns: now had to back Sven Ulreich into the goal. And because of VfB discharged his next game in the Bundesliga with Eintracht Frankfurt on Sunday already, ran Ulrey must be probably at the Hessen.

against Benfica, meanwhile, it was neither the talent nor veteran Ziegler Ulrey that the European trip, the Reds finished. Both were what was keeping. Rather, proved once again the outfield as lightweights. Hardly once they succeeded in playing a constructive structure, which was not only because the Portuguese VfB extremely early disturbed. Even without the hardship made it Red, the ball time after time the enemy landed.

particularly significant were the deficiencies on the defensive. Benfica VfB allowed too many open spaces, was rarely on the ball and afforded many alarmingly easy turnovers. It only took 30 minutes to the residue. After a corner from Pablo Aimar Martin Harnik headed the ball from the danger zone, where Eduardo Salvio took the measure. Marc Ziegler, who had demonstrated against Gaitán (7) and Fabio Coentrao (18) his class, was beaten. VfB Shinji Okazaki failed (15) and Harnik (22).

Ulrey goalkeeper

After the change and then re-Keeper led the exchange with Ulrey a fine save from Oscar Cardozo (71 ') a. Okazaki missed two chances (72 and 75) provided, then Cardozo for the decision: His free-kick bounced off the inside of the post into the case - 0:2 (78). caused

for the infamous climax Zdravko Kuzmanovic, who looked like a frustration foul on Carlos Martins Red (90). Either way, the off was sealed. VfB can now concentrate all forces on the whereabouts of class. And he must hope that the Benfica curse that lies on the German team, not take it. Both the 1 FC Nuremberg (2007-08) and Hertha BSC (2009/10) were eliminated in the second round against the Portuguese - and at the end of season the league has gone up. Just not too!
