Speculation Arises Regarding Revival of Pelé: TSG Coach Addresses Rumors - Rumors swirling around the miraculous return of soccer legend Pelé
Let's get real, shall we? Christian Ilzer, the coach of TSG 1899 Hoffenheim, can't help but chuckle at the constant speculations about his potential successor. "It's a bloody joke, ain't it? You're asking me this shit every fucking week!" he bluntly stated ahead of the 33rd Bundesliga showdown with VfL Wolfsburg on Friday (8:30 PM/DAZN).
The never-ending gossip about Ilzer's exit from Hoffenheim has been on everyone's lips for weeks, even though he only took charge back in November last year. "Listen, if y'all wanna sell some tabloid trash, just say Pelé's comin' back from the dead and we're gonna sign him for next season. That's all I got to say, yeah?" Ilzer spits out in frustration.
Wagner says no, while Kwasniok keeps his hat in the ring
According to the German Press Association, Hoffenheim's top-tier contender, Sandro Wagner, has allegedly turned down the Hoffenheimers, with concrete talks said to have transpired. Another candidate in the mix is Lukas Kwasniok, who will be departing 2. Bundesliga side SC Paderborn in the summer.
In Wolfsburg, TSG urgently needs something tangible to secure their place in the league. They boast a five-point buffer over the relegation zone and a six-point lead over the first relegation spot. "We wanna clock that minimum goal as quick as a rat up a drainpipe," Ilzer growls. "Of course, we aim to dish out a performance that locks that fuckin' deal for sure."
