Claudio Pizarro landed in Bremen just before 23:00 CEST last night, and the Peruvian was greeted by hundreds of chanting Werder fans at the airport. On Monday morning, the striker's move was completed and he has now signed with the Green-Whites for the third time, after 1999 and 2008.
WERDER.DE accompanied the 36-year-old to his medical and used the opportunity for a first chat.
WERDER.DE: Claudio, welcome back to Bremen and to Werder. That was some reception for you yesterday - something that we've never seen before at Werder. What was going through your head when you saw so many fans?
Claudio Pizarro: "I was somewhat tired from the long day but it was a really nice welcome. My friends were asking me if a rock star had just arrived. I'd like to thank everyone for the welcome - it reminded me of why I always felt so good here."
