Knoche played for VfL between 2005 and 2015.
“I am still in contact with some of the players and those responsible in Wolfsburg.

Union has not yet been able to win against Wolfsburg in any of the four Bundesliga clashes.
“That shows what quality is there on the other side.
But we developed step by step.
We have our chance in every game.
