This places Wolfsburg just two points behind league leaders 1. FC Nürnberg.
The published numbers cover several categories. They list games played (GP), games started (GS), and minutes played (MP). For assessing defensive work, the values for tackles (TKL), tackle percentage (TKL%), defensive blocks (DBK), clearances (CLR), and interceptions (INT) are particularly significant.

As a long-serving player for the club, Yannick Gerhardt brings considerable experience and stability to the team. His role is often that of the unassuming worker in defensive midfield. The newly published statistics quantify precisely this contribution, which is often overlooked in standard goal or assist records.

The strong start of three matches has immediately propelled Wolfsburg into the promotion places of the 2. Bundesliga. With six goals scored and only two conceded, the team has a positive goal difference of +4. This defensive solidity at the team level is supported by players like Gerhardt.
