💪 Never seen before: VfB stars break club record!
Offensive records are talked about a lot, often, and with great enthusiasm — and usually the players involved are naturally operating up front, in the number ten role, or on the wings.
In Friday night's opening matchday game between VfB Stuttgart and FC Cologne (final score: 4–1), however, it was two Swabian defenders who shone in attack! In fact, they did so well that they set a club record.

Maxi Mittelstädt and Josha Vagnoman combined for a total of eight shot-creating passes last night — four each.
According to 'Opta', it is the first time since data collection began in 2004/05 that two VfB Stuttgart defenders have managed this in a single Bundesliga match.
Two full-backs bringing so much attacking power down their flanks that each of them provides four shot-creating passes for their attacking teammates — not a bad way to do it, right?
What do you think — how will Hoeneß's side perform in this Bundesliga season? Could Stuttgart perhaps still become Bayern's closest challengers despite the opening defeat, with a bit more experience? Write it in the comments!
