“Completely disproportionate” – Stuttgart boss Wehrle on police intervention

VfB Stuttgart CEO Alexander Wehrle has described the police intervention in Deventer as “completely disproportionate.”

On a night in which Stuttgart supporters should be celebrating a fantastic 4-0 win against Go Ahead Eagles, the mood among the fanbase remains low after a clash between the police and travelling supporters ahead of the match. 

Footage emerged on social media of travelling VfB fans being met by forceful police action upon arrival, with fans meeting in Deventer ahead of organised transport to the stadium.
