Kovac Meets Crisis-Wagner: "There Are Two Types of Trainers" - Augsburg Fights for Survival Against Dortmund as Wagner Considers Tactical Shift

Augsburg, currently in the Bundesliga's relegation zone, faces a crucial match against high-flying Borussia Dortmund. Coach Sandro Wagner and sporting director Benjamin Weber are preparing their team, while Dortmund's Niko Kovač is ready to exploit any weaknesses.

Wagner is considering adjusting his high-risk, high-reward style to boost Augsburg's survival chances. Weber, the club's sports director, is focusing on selecting players in peak form for the clash. Wagner acknowledges his team's poor recent performances and plans to lead by example against Dortmund.

Kovač, Dortmund's manager, is aware of Wagner's situation but aims to capitalize on it. He warns that despite Augsburg's struggles, they should not be underestimated. Kovač emphasizes the need for his team to be fully committed and focused to secure a win. Augsburg, however, has had successful encounters against Dortmund in the past, with two wins under Wagner's predecessor, Jess Thorup.

Augsburg, under pressure to avoid relegation, is not yet discussing emergency measures but is focusing on crisis management, starting with their match against Dortmund. Wagner's tactical adjustments and Weber's selection choices will be crucial. Meanwhile, Kovač is determined to lead Dortmund to victory, despite acknowledging Augsburg's potential threat.
