Maximilian Krauss's Controversial Exit from Energie Cottbus
Rostock's agreement leads to Cottbus temporarily releasing a team member. - Player suspended in Cottbus
The recent suspension of Maximilian Krauss, a key player for Energie Cottbus, has sent shockwaves through the Third League. The impending confrontation between Cottbus and Hansa Rostock, both vying for a promotion spot, has been clouded by this sensational move.
Coach Claus-Dieter Wollitz decided to exclude Krauss from the team until the end of the season, citing his recent lackluster performances and the offensive player's recent agreement with Hansa Rostock as the reasons. Wollitz expressed his dismay over the alleged timing of the agreement, finding it disrespectful towards the employer Cottbus and his teammates.
In a private conversation, Krauss confirmed the contract with Hansa Rostock, revealing that the arrangement had been in place for weeks. Despite this, Wollitz remained bothered by the handling of the communication.
Both clubs have mathematical chances of securing the promotion spot. Rostock is fourth with 60 points, while Cottbus trails closely behind with 59 points. The winner of the match on Saturday is likely to remain in the promotion race. If Cottbus fails to win and secure fifth place, they could miss out on both the promotion opportunity and the first round of the DFB-Pokal.
An Unprofessional Send-off?
Since the 24th matchday, Wollitz noticed a decline in Krauss's performance, suspecting that the player may have decided to join Hansa Rostock during this time. The coach mentioned unconfirmed reports suggesting that Krauss intentionally earned his fifth yellow card on the 24th matchday, allowing for a one-match suspension that coincided with his alleged move to Hansa Rostock over his mother's birthday weekend.
Data shows a decline in Krauss's performance, according to Wollitz, such as the video analysis of Haching, which revealed two scenes where Krauss was in the focus of the situation. While running between 34 and 35 km/h, Krauss's actual speed was reportedly only 29 km/h[1].
Whispers of a Secret Deal?
It is unclear whether an agreement or transfer between Krauß and Hansa Rostock has been finalized, as no official information has been released[2]. The football community and media have called for more authentic and transparent communication from club officials in such sensitive situations, citing the lack of clear information in Krauß's suspension as an example[1][2].
