When Werder Bremen face off against Wolfsburg on Saturday, it will be a special match-up for Florian Hartherz. Ten months ago, Hartherz helped the Wolves to the German A-Youth championship, after which he transferred to Werder. In Bremen, Hartherz has made the jump to the Bundesliga, earning 10 appearances in the second half of the current season. WERDER.DE talked to the 18-year-old about his return to Wolfsburg.

On Saturday you will be facing your old club. How is that for you?
Hartherz: Very nice. It's always a special meeting when you play against your former club. I am looking forward to it.

Why did you transfer to Werder?
Hartherz: We won the U19 title and it was a great success. But I didn't see any perspective of playing with the first team in Wolfsburg. Then Werder made a really good offer and I figured I had better chances of reaching the starting line-up here. I really wanted to push my development. And it's worked out well thus far.

You have been in Bremen for nearly nine months. How are you finding it here?
Hartherz: I like it here a lot. I moved into my own apartment and know the city pretty well by now. Now I am finishing up my schooling and I already have found a lot of friends away from football.

More and more defenders are returning to fitness for Werder. What do you think your chances are of continuing to receive appearances?
Hartherz: I just have to work day in, day out and really give my all. I have to show in training what I can do and continue to believe in myself. Then I can fight my way into regular appearances in the starting line-up.
