Wolfsburg coach Niko Kovac is in the stadium before the game.

In a remarkable interview, coach Niko Kovac refused to assess Wolfsburg's star striker Max Kruse.

"Man Jens (Westen, Sky reporter), stop it!

Don't be boring!

It's boring, same thing every time.

We want to talk about football.

There are nine others, ten with a goalkeeper," said the former Munich champion coach after the disappointing 0:

Wolfsburg - 0 of Lower Saxony against newly promoted FC Schalke 04.

When asked that Kruse was Wolfsburg's top scorer in the second half of the past year, Kovac replied: "I used to be a footballer and I can't presume that I'm still playing here.

What used to be.

We were young then, pretty maybe.

Is no longer.

We are old now, wrinkled.”

He doesn't always have to comment on every player, said the Croatian, emphasizing: "We all saw a very good performance in the second half today, it was decent in the first half." Kruse was substituted on again in the second half.
