Baden-Württemberg: Labbadia pricks Millot: Not what we need

Stuttgart (dpa / lsw) - Coach Bruno Labbadia from VfB Stuttgart justified his previous non-consideration of midfielder Enzo Millot with his current training performance. "We had a long conversation with him," said Labbadia before the round of 16 in the DFB Cup at SC Paderborn on Tuesday (6 p.m. / Sky) about the 20-year-old. "The training performance does not match what we need at the moment."

Before the winter break, Millot made eleven appearances for VfB in the Bundesliga. Under Labbadia, the French talent has not even been on the pitch in the previous three games.

Before the 2-1 game at RB Leipzig last Friday, there was an extensive video session with Millot, the coach reported. They tried to "give him what we mean and what he needs to do better," said Labbadia. "I hope something will come of it, because of course it would be good if we had an alternative."
