Chabot in criticism: Gelb-red card VfB costs the victory against Kiel!

VfB Stuttgart caused a sensation on Saturday with a 2-1 home win against Holstein Kiel in the Bundesliga, but a decisive event overshadowed the victory: central defender Jeff Chabot received the yellow-red card in the 66th minute and thus caused great excitement among his teammates. Despite the cheering audience and the goals from Deniz Undav and El Bilal Touré, the mood after the red card was anything but euphoric.

After a sovereign first half, the events broke in the second half. Chabot, who saw the yellow card after a foul and was put off the pitch in a hectic situation a short time later, hit his team's nerve with his action. "We put ourselves in difficulties in difficulties," criticized goal scorer Undav criticized and expressed the frustration in the team. Angelo Stiller also agreed with him and expressed concerns that the team could almost hand over the game.

trainer Hoeneß comments on the incident

Head coach Sebastian Hoeneß was also upset about the decision and the associated risk reduction in the balanced game: "After the 2-0, it is a game how you want to play it," he emphasized. He was based on the requirement not to put his own team unnecessarily in danger, but felt disappointed with chabot's mistakes. "That shouldn't happen to us," said Hoeneß and assured: "Jeff will no longer happen." The trainer now has to do without Chabot, who is the third central defender in a difficult situation. But he has two alternatives with Ramon Hendriks and Anthony Rouault, while Ameen Al-Dakhil was missing in the squad.
