😠 I think it's unacceptable: 2. Bundesliga coach clashes with own fans Those were quite harsh and very clear words that Cottbus coach Claus-Dieter Wollitz directed at his own fans yesterday after the final whistle. It certainly wasn’t because of the result. After all, the promoted side sensationally came back from 0-3 down at the stadium of a promotion contender and fought their way to a point. The match ended 4-4. The behavior of his own fans obviously overshadowed that point for the coach. That’s the background Energy’s fans joined the protests of opposing fans from previous matches and relentlessly booed a Wolfsburg player. Of course, this is about Fabian Reese, whose move from Hertha to Wolfsburg sparked a full-blown controversy. It was about fake football romanticism, false club loyalty, chasing the millions, and so on and so forth... By now, it is clear: this transfer didn’t just rub the capital club’s fans the wrong way. After the new Wolfsburg player was showered with boos in the cup match at VSG Altglienicke’s stadium, it continued in Karlsruhe and now still hasn’t stopped. 📸 Selim Sudheimer - 2026 Getty Images The fact that his team’s away fans joined this trend obviously made Wollitz more than furious. After the final whistle, he clearly confronted his own supporters and was extremely critical. Wollitz delivers a full-on angry rant Among other things, he asked: “What is this supposed to be? I think it’s impossible. Why does our club, or why do our fans, have to boo this player?” according to a report by ‘Kicker’. He said behavior like that was unacceptable. Above all, the coach apparently does not understand the connection between Reese’s transfer and his own club: “What has this player done as a person? He has done nothing to Energie Cottbus. Then I’m on his side.” He then reinforced the message to his own fans. If that got him into trouble, he would “gladly” accept it. Because then it would be difficult for him to continue doing his work in Cottbus the way he does it. Wollitz said he could not accept that: “Really not.” Fans are sometimes emotional and sometimes go too far. But: “A kid, 28, 29 years old, who has this dream of playing football, this dream of getting promoted—they completely destroy him and then go home and laugh about it,” Wollitz continued at the post-match press conference. Every goal, every assist and every success for VfL Wolfsburg would be the right answer for the attacking player. Reese himself said nothing on Saturday evening. Last week against Karlsruhe, he revealed that the boos do affect him. What do you think? Are you on the fans’ side, or is it about time the criticism stopped? Write it in the comments!
