+++ New week, familiar ground: On Monday morning the Werder Bremen team started the new week with their traditional run in the Bürgerpark: Junuzovic, Vestergaard and the rest of the team completed nearly a one-hour lap. Santiago Garcia, Melvyn Lorenzen and Özkan Yildirim were not there, the trio trained individually in the weights room. Felix Kroos did not take part in the run either. He could, however, certainly ride a bike again after his feverish infection from the weekend. Mateo Pavlovic, on the other hand, overcame his muscle problem, and therefore did take part in the run. The team have Tuesday off but on Wednesday morning and evening the intensive preparations for the first Bundesliga game against Schalke begin. +++

+++ After the victory comes the draw: SV Werder Bremen successfully negotiated the first main round of the German cup and now they can look forward to the next stage, which will be drawn on Friday 14th August. We go into the draw after the end of the opening game of the 53rd Bundesliga season between Bayern and Hamburg at around 22.45 CEST. Ski pro Felix Neureuther will make the draw. The second round of the German cup will be held on Tuesday 27th and Wednesday 28th October. +++

+++ Frings is expecting a "good game": Having survived the first round of the cup, the start of the Bundesliga is just around the corner. On Saturday 15th August 2015, Werder host Schalke, who brushed aside Duisburg in the cup by beating them 5:0. "Schalke were dominant for a long period of time. When you play nearly 60 minutes with an extra man you usually win. Therefore, it is difficult to assess the performance" said assistant manager Torsten Frings of Schalke's success. Frings, however, sees the Royal Blues as a good and difficult opponent. "Schalke acquired very good players and a strong team, but we are playing at home and have a good side. I am 100% sure that we will produce a good game", he said. +++

+++ Sit with the stars: At home or in the office, sit as if you were on the sidelines of the Weser-Stadion. Werder Bremen and profisitz.de, official sponsor of SVW, are making this dream come true and are raffling an exclusive Fan Bench "Sports Classic Sofa" in green with a Werder-style diamond. How can you win this? Easy, answer this question: "How many games has Viktor Skripnik sat on the bench as Werder Bremen coach?" Send the answer in an email with subject "profisitz Gewinnspiel" to gewinnspiel@werder.de and with some luck you may be sitting like the stars. Good luck! +++
