The joys of Spring have reached the Green-Whites. As the Bundesliga rolls into its final games, Bremen’s squad is really beginning to blossom. Against Cottbus, Frings, Mertesacker & Co. picked up their fourth win in the last five games - five games without defeat! And the clubs greatest asset on the home straight - a truly balanced group of players.

 

“You could also write that our squad is really a good one,” glowed general manager Klaus Allofs as he was questioned on the secret of the ‘Super-Sub’ goals. It was the eleventh time this season that trainer Thomas Schaaf introduced a substitute who went on to score.

 

This time around, the trainer was in a position to completely change his front line after an hour of play. Klasnic and Sanogo made way for the eventual goal-scorers Rosenberg and Almeida: “Many other clubs would be delighted to be as well staffed as we are. We have said all along that we have four or five good, young strikers. Maybe there is not a fully-fledged Luca Toni amongst them, but they are all quality players. There is nothing to say that it won’t be the other two who come off the bench on Wednesday to score,” remarked Allofs.

 

Trainer Thomas Schaaf was able to enjoy the opportunity to finally see almost the complete quality of his team available and on the pitch: “It hasn’t been the case very often this season that everyone was healthy and that we had the chance to make such substitutions. That was very important for us today and it’s nice to see all the players getting involved as the season closes.” And so may it continue!
