VfL Wolfsburg started the season in brilliant fashion, taking an early Bundesliga lead, before slipping back in a nightmare run, which saw the team finish in the midfield, with a lower points haul than the previous seasons. Wolfsburg also dropped a bombshell when they signed Argentine starlet Andrés D'Alessandro of River Plate. D'Alessandro had been relatively disappointing season, but Fernando Baiano together with Diego Klimowicz made sure the attack functioned really well.
