VfB is the league leader with 18 points, striker Serhou Guirassy scored a hat trick against Wolfsburg and now has 13 goals this season. Even coach Sebastian Hoeneß, who tries to be objective, can hardly believe it.
These are special times when large numbers of people buy tickets on the black market in front of the stadium for a Stuttgart home game against Wolfsburg – and don’t want to get rid of surplus tickets like in previous years. It’s a rare feeling for VfB fans not to walk to the stadium with shaking knees after the first fifth of a season. It’s the reality: This time your favorite club is not in a relegation zone, but in the top group of the table.
