<h2>Ricardo Costa: \"Maximum points against Frankfurt\"</h2>
<p class=\"bodytext\">He
is a real leader at VfL Wolfsburg, in games and he is very vocal during
training. Ricardo Costa has become an absolute cornerstone of the team
since recovering from his cruciate ligament injury sustained last
summer. After the training session on Tuesday, we spoke to the
Portuguese defender...
</p>
<p class=\"bodytext\"> </p>
<p class=\"bodytext\">Costa was still annoyed about the solitary point
(2-2) taken from the game against Bochum at the rewirpowerSTADION at
the weekend. When we asked him that after coming from behind twice to
take a point, whether he considered it to be two dropped points or a
point gained he replied: \"We certainly could have won there, so I
reckon we dropped two points.A point is better than nothing but we
could have taken all three.\"<br/> 
</p>
<p class=\"bodytext\">As was the case in the opening game of the season
against Köln, Costa played alongside Andrea Barzagli in Bochum and was
impressed. Costa said: \"Andrea is a great player who won the World Cup
and the European Championship at under-21 level. We play well together,
but there are situations where we don\'t quite know what the other will
do at a given moment. That will surely improve over the coming weeks.\"
</p>
<p class=\"bodytext\"> </p>
<p class=\"bodytext\">Unlike last season, Costa has been involved in the
complete pre-season programme, including the DFB Cup first round game.
Last season he sustained cruciate ligament damage during the first
round of the cup. Things are very different this time around. Costa
again: \"Things are going much better for me this season. The pre-season
period was good for me and I feel secure in everything I do, which is
good for my game. I played well in our opening Bundesliga games. Things
are going well for me as well as the team.\"
</p>
<p class=\"bodytext\"> </p>
<p class=\"bodytext\">So how does he rate his team\'s chances in the
Bundesliga against Frankfurt this weekend: \"They are uncomfortable to
play against. But I think that we will train well this week and take
maximum points from the game.\"</p> |
