VfB Stuttgart sporting director Sven Mislintat has expressed his satisfaction with his team after their 3-1 victory over TSG 1899 Hoffenheim.

Speaking to Sky microphones, the 48-year-old manager also revealed some details about the club’s current loan deal with Arsenal defender Konstantinos Mavropanos.

For Stuttgart, the hard work put in to secure a new loan deal for Greek center-back Konstaninos Mavropanos appears to be paying off. The 23-year-old scored an incredible, but also decisive goal in the crucial weekend victory over Hoffenheim.

Mavropanos deprived Sargis Adamyan of the ball in the 59th. After a scintillating solo run, the Greece international then cut inside the penalty area and propelled home a near-perfect long-distance finish to the bottom corner. Thanks to his skills, Stuttgart built an insurmountable 2-0 lead on the hour mark.

“We actually had two big goals from center-backs today,” club manager Sven Mislintat said afterwards, “‘Kempfi’ [Marc Oliver Kempf] is our top scorer at this point and ‘Dino’ [Mavropanos] illustrates what this team is: always working and improving in pursuit of victory. “

Speaking further on Mavropanos, the VfB boss then compared him to the famous Lucimar “Lucio” Ferreira da Silva, whom Bundesliga fans fondly remember from his time at Leverkusen and Bayern München in the 2000s.

Mislintat also revealed that the Swabians actually had two purchase clauses for Mavropanos. One is compulsory, the other optional.

“We have a mandatory € 3m call option if we stay in the league,” Mislintat revealed with a smile, “There is also a free option if we are relegated. Either way we have the possibility of taking it. I think what’s going to happen with it is relatively clear. “
