Exiled Energie Cottbus Forward Krauß Speaks Out Against Wollitz's Public Bashes
Controversial Crayfish Company Challenges Suspension: Wowo GmbH Responds Defiantly - Suspended Cottbus Official Kraus Responds to Allegations Brought Forward by Wollitz
Let's cut the crap, shall we? Maximilian Krauß, the boy wonder at Cottbus, has fired back at hisNot-So-Merry Coach, Claus-Dieter Wollitz, after the latter rained down allegations on our man, Krauß. Krauß's not happy about Wollitz's accusations that his off-the-field hijinks with Rostock had a role in his recent poor performances.
The axe fell hard on Cottbus when they decided to axe Krauß from their team roster, stating he'd be benched for the remainder of the season, just days before the crunch match against their Baltic Sea rivals, Rostock.
Wollitz ain't exactly Sugar Ray, eh? The grumpy ol' geezer went on a rant during a press conference, calling Krauß's impending move to Rostock "respektlos" (disrespectful) and accused him of tanking games to secure a deal with the Baltic-coast club.
In a one-on-one with the "Lausitzer Rundschau," Krauß wasn't having any of it. "I'm flabbergasted by my gaffer's unfounded jabs," Krauß said. "Big ups to the Cottbus faithful for the incredible support I've received over the last 15 months."
Wollitz, who's turning 60 this year, was particularly worked up over the timing of the deal. "The timing on Monday was a slap in the face to Cottbus and my fellow players," he raged. Krauß admitted to talking to Rostock weeks ago, but insisted there was nothing beneath the surface until Monday.
The drama's got both Cottbus and Rostock in a tizzy. Rostock's sitting pretty in fourth place, with 60 points to boast, while Cottbus languishes in fifth with 59 points. The victor of the upcoming battle royal will be the only one left with a shot at the promotion. If Cottbus gets fifth, they can kiss both the promotion and the first round of the DFB-Pokal goodbye.
