Kruse: “The competition is what excites me"

Max Kruse’s Bremen homecoming should have been something beautiful, but instead of a successful return to the Green-White jersey, the striker badly injured his knee in Werder’s DFB Cup exit against Lotte. It remains a painful memory for SVW, as well as Kruse himself. Since then, the 28-year-old has been working on his comeback and in the past few days, has returned to the training pitch to carry...

“No such thing as a good defeat”

Werder were pushing right until the end of the game against a team in great form, and, for large parts of the game, defended solidly. Therefore, there were a few positives that Werder can take from the game. However after the encounter, nobody after the game wanted to say the 3-1 loss to RB Leipzig was "good". “There’s no such thing as a good defeat, it would be a contradiction to say that and...

Werder fall to Leipzig

SV Werder have lost a tricky away tie in Leipzig 3-1. Naby Keita put the hosts into the lead shortly before the break, before the same player doubled RB’s advantage in the 72nd minute. The Green-Whites reacted brilliantly to this second setback and halved the deficit a minute later through Serge Gnabry. This was too little too late however, as ex-Werder man Davie Selke made it 3-1 to Leipzig in...

Nouri: "Actions speak louder than words"

Werder Bremen have seven points from seven Bundesliga fixtures. From an objective view, it’s not a big reason to celebrate. However, these seven points have come from the last three matches and therefore it is easier to understand why Alexander Nouri appeared to be happy in the press conference ahead of Sunday’s match against RB Leipzig.

Time for an away win!

SV Werder’s form in the past weeks has been on the way up thanks to home wins against Wolfsburg and Leverkusen and picking up a point in Darmstadt. By using this momentum from the last few games, Alexander Nouri’s men have the chance to continue this run of form against RB Leipzig (Sunday, 15:30 CEST). “We’ve shown in the past few weeks that we can pick up points against any opponent if we’re...

Left foot forward

‘Trust’ is one of the words that journalists discussing Izet Hajrovic have found themselves using quite a lot in the last few weeks. The Bosnian is grateful for the chances that new head coach Alexander Nouri has given him in the first team, and that he has been able to repay that to both the new man in charge and his team mates. That being said, Hajrovic’s renewed confidence is not just evident...

High spirits in training

Fans following the Werder player’s first training session on Tuesday morning might have a few questions. Ten players who regularly trained last week were not present.

Manneh: "Reward for hard work"

Perhaps one of his team mates should've pinched his arm: "I can't believe this. One of my biggest dreams has come true. Is this real or am I dreaming?" asked Ousman Manneh after having scored the 2-1 winner against Bayer 04 Leverkusen. It was his first Bundesliga goal and one that he will certainly never forget: "It's an absolutely unbelievable feeling."

We need to give a bit more

+++ The same mindset: “What more can I do to improve my performance?” Werder’s new assistant manager Markus Feldhoff is constantly asking this question. He tried to answer this when he was a young player with his then teammate Alexander Nouri. “We had a similar way of thinking in many ways. That was at the crux of why we were able to work together for so many years,” says Feldhoff today. The duo...
