Bundesliga Chatter: Ilzer Tackles Pelé Resurrection Rumors
- 🤨
Rumors about Pelé's Resurrection Surface; TSG Coach Addresses Resurfacing Conversations - Rumors of Pelé's miraculous return from the dead?
Coach Christian Ilzer of TSG 1899 Hoffenheim can't help but chuckle at the constant questioning about his potential replacement. "Listen, another round of this? I mean, it's like Deja vu, dude! Last week, the week before - it never ENDS," Ilzer quipped ahead of the 33rd Bundesliga matchday against VfL Wolfsburg, scheduled for this Friday (8:30 PM/DAZN).
Joining the club in November, Ilzer has been the center of separation rumors for weeks. Tired of the relentless energy surrounding these discussions, he offered a sarcastic response. "Alright, if you're desperate for eye-catching headlines, go on then! Spread the word that sweet old Pelé has been brought back to life, and we'll snatch him up for next season. That's all I've got for you on this topic," Ilzer quipped.
No More Wagner, Kwasniok Remains an Option
As per German Press Agency estimates, Hoffenheim's top pick, Sandro Wagner, has reportedly declined the club's offers. It is said that negotiations have already taken place between the parties. Lukas Kwasniok may still be in the running as he prepares to exit second-division side SC Paderborn during the summer.
To secure a spot in the league, Hoffenheim needs a strong showing against Wolfsburg to solidify their lead. Currently, they are five points ahead of the relegation playoff spot and six points away from the first relegation spot. "Our minimum goal is to secure this deal as soon as possible," Ilzer emphasized. "Absolutely, we want to turn in a performance worthy of sealing the deal."
