WOLFSBURG MANAGING DIRECTOR PETER CHRISTIANSEN VENTS FRUSTRATION, READY TO RESIGN
Amid rumours he could be sacked, Wolfsburg's Peter Christiansen gave an aggressive interview, stating he'd "gladly leave" if deemed the problem. The club lost again, deepening their crisis.

In an aggressive interview with Sky Germany on Friday night, VfL Wolfsburg managing director Peter Christiansen did little to help his cause in response to speculations that he might be on the verge of losing his job. Just before the start of Wolfsburg's away game against Werder Bremen, Christiansen made a statement. As a result, the Lower Saxon Autostädter suffered their sixth loss of the season.
Following his dismissal from the Pokal last week, Christiansen became embroiled in a highly publicised argument with Marius Müller, the backup goalkeeper for Wolfsburg. In his discussion of the situation with the German media, the irate Müller showed little regard for a club manager who has not gotten explicit support from the club board.
Wolfsburg's problems go beyond just needing a new head coach. Because of this, there may be a thorough cleaning of the front office over the international holiday. There is still time for Wolfsburg to salvage their season, since they made it a point to aim for European competition this year. They are currently in 12th place in the Bundesliga standings after eight points from ten matchdays.
Christiansen responded fiercely, "The supervisory board will inform me if people no longer want Peter Christiansen here, and I am okay with that." "I do not work that way. I act as though I will be here for another fifteen years. There are moments when it is challenging to construct a new foundation. Football is that.
However, Christiansen went on, "We all know that it is a results-oriented sport." Since Paul Simonis and Schindzielorz have been in this industry for a while, we are familiar with how it operates. I do not have any issues with it. I will be happy to leave if I am the issue.
CESC FABREGAS INSISTS COMO PLAYERS MAINTAIN HUMILITY AMID GROWING ATTENTION AND PRAISE
Cesc Fabregas urges his Como side to stay humble but demands more after their draw with Napoli. The coach wants his team to take the "next step" and dominate games in their Serie A campaign.

As his team is ready to play Cagliari in Serie A following their thrilling 0-0 draw with Napoli, Cesc Fabregas urged Como to remain modest but keep striving for more.
During his pregame press conference, Fabregas stated, "We are still at the beginning, but the team is evolving," according to quotes from TuttoMercatoWeb.
"The players have faith in our abilities, we are giving up fewer goals, and the younger players continue to step up." We still have room for improvement, particularly in games like Bologna, Genoa, and Cremonese.
Fabregas is " insane not to win" against Napoli.
Fabregas said that he was "mad not to win" after the goalless draw at the Maradona, but he also stated that Como needs to take "one more step" to develop into a team that dominates games.
"We are working on how we attack, but we need to shoot more," he continued. I want us to be more dominant now that I see a full team.
Regarding injuries, Fabregas stated that Kempf is healthy enough to play, but Goldaniga will need surgery and be out for about two months. Sergi Roberto is anticipated to return following the international break, and Dossena should shortly resume training.
The former Barcelona midfielder also commended his team's mindset, saying, "We have to win and not lose if we want to be up there." We must defeat Cagliari in order for Napoli to earn a point.
Fabregas grinned and responded, "Never," when asked if Como would ever give up possession. It does not exist for me, but perhaps you may score on the counter. I want to win, so I am a bit Italianizing.
MAN UTD POISED FOR EUROPEAN ADVANTAGE, THOMAS FRANK SHARES INSIGHT
Tottenham boss Thomas Frank admits Man Utd have a key top-four advantage due to no European football. He also called this the "most competitive" Premier League season he's seen.

In the "most competitive" Premier League, Tottenham head coach Thomas Frank believes Manchester United has a significant edge in the fight for Champions League qualifying.
Spurs will play Man United at midday on Saturday in a replay of the Europa League final that took place in Bilbao in May.
Despite their worst-ever Premier League finish, Tottenham won their first trophy in 17 years under Frank's predecessor, Ange Postecoglou, thanks to a goal by Brennan Johnson in the first half. They also guaranteed a spot in this season's Champions League.
Spurs and Manchester United are currently sixth and eighth in the league with 17 points after 10 games, respectively, as both teams have improved this time around.
However, former Brentford manager Frank recognised that Ruben Amorim's team's exclusion from Europe will help their top-four challenge, and he believes the Premier League is the most competitive he can recall, especially with Sunderland and Bournemouth presently in the top five.
"It is definitely a benefit," Frank emphasised.
"We want to be able to compete in both because that is where we want to be," I stated at the outset.
"We must be able to compete in the Champions League while maintaining our league performance.
"There are no two ways about it; it is for the fans, the prestige, the money, everything, our goals, and what we hope to accomplish, but having a week to get ready for a game and feel fresh is significant!
"Overall, I believe that this season's Premier League is the most competitive I have ever seen. I have been here for five years.
"The teams do not really interact. As for the other games, I overheard (Arne) Slot discuss the Aston Villa game, the narrow margins in that game as well, the shift in momentum in games, and how fiercely competitive it is.
"I believe that the conventional big six have emerged in the previous two years; Newcastle is in the running for a top seven, and Villa is up there, so that is eight all at once."
Then some teams have performed exceptionally well. Brighton and Bournemouth are also involved, so the competition is fierce.
"Then, when you want to be up there, playing in Europe and competing in the league, it is just a different beast."
Despite only losing four league games the previous season, Arsenal went on a £250 million summer shopping binge because squad depth is essential to being able to compete on numerous fronts.
Mohammed Kudus, Joao Palhinha, Xavi Simons, and Randal Kolo Muani are the four important players Tottenham acquired during the first transfer window under Frank, but they are still hampered by injury.
Due to a persistent ankle problem that has prevented Dominic Solanke from playing for Spurs since August 23, Frank raised doubts about his chances of returning in 2025, even though he underwent minor surgery at the beginning of October.
"I do hope so," Frank responded when asked if he would play before 2026.
"Let us watch what occurs after the international break," I would advise. We continue to make progress. So far, it is on track.
