To be honest, I can't really understand this criticism. But that depends more on who it comes from. Because you can certainly have that accusation yourself. Sarah Straube also said in the interview after the game that Potsdam played with certain different tactics and that she was glad that Dresden didn't do it.
But on the other hand, you also have to see what Stuttgart is doing all season and also what statements there were from those responsible in Stuttgart. I find it a little presumptuous that Konstantin Bitter is now pointing the finger at Potsdam. Firstly, Stuttgart had given up the game against Potsdam on the last matchday of the main round and thus the best position in the main round. Secondly, they didn't do their job against Schwerin “perfectly” last week. And most importantly for me, the comments regarding the possible loss of the second leg in Istanbul in the Champions League.
You're right! Rivers is also constantly rested during the season. Maybe Stuttgart should take a look at itself
