In the company of a hoard of interested media representatives, Germany’s international record cap holder, Lothar Matthäus, paid a visit to Werder Bremen. The World Cup winner from 1990 is currently undertaking a trainer seminar and, together with seminar supervisor, Erich Rutemöller, he looked to exchange ideas with Werder coach Thomas Schaaf and general manager Klaus Allofs.
Following some intensive discussions both on and off the pitch, Schaaf commented: “I don’t need to explain football to Lothar, he’s experienced too much to need that and he has gathered some experience as a coach too. I do know that every encounter, every day, is important and you can always learn something and then test to see if it suits you or not. That’s what helps you develop. We discussed the work that we do here, the working atmosphere, how things look on a personnel level and which work sequences are in operation. That’s the whole points of this visit.”
Matthäus himself was quite impressed by the discussions: “Erich Rutemöller was of the opinion that Werder is so well structured that it would be work making a stop here during our seminar. I will have a more exact look at the set up here over the next two days and try to take as much on board as possible. It’s not as if we just go to the training pitch and then for a coffee.”
