Brazilian striker Grafite struggles to level his outstanding performance of last season. Last year, the 30year-old, managed to score 28 goals in just 25 games.
Wolfsburg`s new coach, Armin Veh, isn`t satisfied by Grafite`s performance this season. On Saturday, in the match against Bochum, Veh took off the Brazilian after just 52 minutes.
After the match, Grafite reacted frustrated: `This is the fifth game in which I have been substituted and today it happened as early as the 52nd minute. Five minutes in the second half is too little.
I am not a young boy any more. I have a history at this club and deserve a bit more respect.’
Veh wasn`t pleased at all with Grafite`s frustrated reaction: `He shouldn`t have said that. When he claims to be grown up he also has to think better before he says something.`
