Magath happy after Cologne win

Wolfsburg coach Felix Magath believes things can get even better after his side started the new year with a 1-0 win over Cologne yesterday. Die Wolfe ended 2011 with a disappointing 20 points from 17 games but yesterday's seventh win of the season has given the league table a completely different appearance with just three points now separating them from the top six. And Magath is optimistic about the future again. "The team has more structure to it," he said. "Therefore, I am very happy with this first performance of the second half of the season." Magath's sides have a reputation for blossoming after Christmas and his feat of leading Wolfsburg to the title in 2009 despite only having 26 points at the midway stage of the campaign could serve as an example to his current team. However, he has warned that it may take a bit of time yet before his team finds top gear. "Of course there are a few things that were not satisfactory, yet it was still a completely different game to the first half of the season," he added on Sky television. "I was very happy with the game and that includes the new signings. But you could see that one or two of them have got to get used to the rhythm of the Bundesliga. That makes me happy because we have the potential to improve within our team."
