Baden-Württemberg: Ex-national player Cacau trusts VfB to win against Bayern

Stuttgart (dpa/lsw) - The former national soccer player Cacau trusts VfB Stuttgart to win in the Bundesliga game against FC Bayern Munich on Saturday, despite the precarious situation in the relegation battle. "VfB needs the right attitude, the right mentality and body language. Then there can be a point - or even three," said the 41-year-old to "Münchner Merkur/tz" (Saturday). The ex-striker became German champion with the Stuttgart team in 2007 and is now a brand ambassador for table 15.

The fact that VfB is "complete outsiders" against Bayern also harbors a chance. "You can only win," said Cacau. "And if you shed the awe, don't look up too much at Bayern, but treat them as equals, you have a chance. It's not just about sport, but above all about mental things." In the first half of the Bundesliga season, Stuttgart drew 2-2 in Munich. However, the last home win to date was more than 15 years ago, it was a 3-1 win in November 2007.
