| Fredua Koranteng Adu Offline Join Date: Jul 2007 Location: Estados Unidos Posts: 256,709 vCash: 20158194 Rep Points: 916 | Last-gasp victory for Wolfsburg A late strike by Edin Dzeko gave VfL Wolfsburg their first home win of the season. His decider against Hansa Rostock came in the 89th minute. Prior to that, Wolfsburg's best opportunity had fallen to playmaker Marcelinho, who saw his 40th-minute penalty saved by Hansa keeper Stefan Wächter. Wolfsburg in control from the start Wolfsburg dominated possession from the off, but were unable to make much headway up front and for the first half-hour there was little to excite the crowd of 26,127 at either end. The first clear chance fell to the visitors, however, on the 30-minute mark. Christian Rahn's ball found Sebastian Hähnge free in front of goal and the striker should have done better from close-range than fire straight at Wolfsburg keeper Simon Jentzsch. Wächter saves penalty That seemed to galvanise the home side and from then on they upped the pressure on the visiting defence. In the 33rd minute, Grafite broke down the left but played the ball in behind the supporting Marcelinho. Soon after that, Wächter blocked a header from Marcel Schäfer following a Marcelinho corner. But the Hansa keeper's party piece was yet to come. Five minutes before half-time, he pushed Marcelinho's spot-kick over the bar. Rough justice, perhaps, as the award had been a soft one - given against Orestes for a seemingly accidental handball after he had been pushed. Rostock solid at the back Wolfsburg continued to dominate play after the break, but, as before, were unable to unduly trouble a solid Rotcok defence. For their part, the guests restricted themselves to the occasional harmless counter-attack, a tactic which seemed to have earned them a point until Dzeko struck at the death to send them home empty-handed. |

Well done though, Hansa have been on a roll lately. Marcelinho made it hard for Wolfsburg when he missed the penalty early. Because, the match would have gone different if he scored. |

The Iranian-born star, who grew up in Berlin, told coach Dieter Eilts that he did not want to make the trip to the Middle East due to the ongoing tension between Israel and Iran. "I have more Iranian blood than German blood in my veins and people just have to accept that," the Wolfsburg striker told BZ. "And besides I am doing it out of respect - my parents are Iranian after all." Eilts said he accepted the striker's decision but Germany president Theo Zwanziger was far from happy with Dejagah's move. "We can't accept players deciding not to play in matches as a result of their world-view or religion," Zwanziger told Bild. "We are not forcing anyone to play for Germany. Every player wearing our shirt must identify himself with our country and its values, otherwise we will have to make do without him in the squad."

The Iranian-born Wolfsburg midfielder pulled out of an Under 21 match in Tel Aviv last Friday, saying he feared for the safety of relatives in Iran if he played in Israel. The German Football Federation (DFB) has said his 'personal reasons' for not making the trip were acceptable, but the leading Jewish organisation in Germany has called for Dejagah to be dropped from the Under 21 squad. The Central Council of Jews in Germany have taken this stance because Iran does not recognise Israel's right to exist. DFB president Theo Zwanziger has now made it clear to Dejagah that he had responsibilities if he wanted to continue to play for Germany. "I will make it a little harder for him and try to impress on him the sense of responsibility that a German national player must show," Zwanziger said in Die Welt newspaper. Zwanziger added that the outcome of a discussion with Dejagah could determine whether he ever plays for Germany again. Germany coach Joachim Low has also voiced his disappointment with Dejagah's decision not to play in Israel. Low said: "I know the political problems. Basically I hoped and expected that for sporting reasons, a German Under 21 player would have made a different decision. "I have to be quite clear on that point." Dejagah holds both an Iranian and German passport and still has the right to switch allegiance and play for the country of his birth at senior level.
