It was an eventful morning at the Weser-Stadion. Thousands of fans descended upon Werder's stadium for the annual "Fan's Day". But when Bremen's bosses Klaus Filbry, Thomas Eichin and Dr. Hubertus Hess-Grunewald took to the stage, the Green-White's fans were all talking about a different topic: Franco Di Santo's departure from the club.

"We tried very hard to convince him to stay and we really did everything we could," explained Eichin, emphasising that "the search for a replacement" was now the priority. "We're in a phase of transition and are not going into this situation unprepared," continued Eichin. Klaus Filbry, Chairman of the Board seemed convinced that "Thomas Eichin and Rouven Schröder will quickly find an excellent replacement for this position."

"Very stable defensively"

The afternoon's tough test against Sevilla was also on the agenda. "The team have played brilliantly in the friendlies so far and look very stable defensively. You can see the coaching team are having a great effect on the team and are taking on board the clubs youth policy," said Eichin. There are several young players in the squad who are "fighting for a place in the first team". The U23s recent promotion is no doubt playing an important role in that, as President and Board Manager Dr. Hubertus Hess-Grunewald empahised: "The promotion is a big step up. The challenged of the 3. Liga will help prepare more players for the first team," said Hess-Grunewald.
