Stuttgart's Victory Streak Continues, but Hoeneß Sees Room for Improvement
With a 1:0 win against Union Berlin, Stuttgart clinched their spot in the DFB Cup round of 16. Their form in the Bundesliga is also impressive, with four consecutive league wins, the most recent being a 2:0 victory over Werder Bremen.
Despite the team's success, attacker Deniz Undav believes they could do even better. "We should have shot more instead of always gambling. That comes with time," said Undav after the game.
However, coach Sebastian Hoeneß found some "small points of criticism" in their performance. He pointed out the lack of a "killer mentality" in some situations and deemed the team to be "not determined enough" and "a little too playful".
Undav and Guirassy teamed up for both Stuttgart's goals against Bremen, and Hoeneß hinted that the duo might reunite on the pitch for the DFB Cup match. Having previously helped Stuttgart beat Dortmund 2:1 in November, Undav and Guirassy could once again be the decisive factor in this clash.
