Well, yeah, before they entered the Bundesliga stage once again, they had to face VfL Wolfsburg first to fight for a ticket to the top 8 of the DFB Pokal.
At this point, though, Frohling had to think of whether he should take this competition seriously or not. After all, if the team wanted to get the title, it would take at least four games left, and it would only become more difficult as time went by.
Not only that, since all the DFB Pokal matches would be held in the middle of the week, forcing two or three games would definitely disturb the players' rest time, and the coach knew that he still didn't have a squad deep enough to rotate the whole 11 players and stay competitive at the same time.
So, yeah, this was a difficult choice to make for a person who hated losing more than anything else.
