The final whistle! Indescribable celebrations! Werder are again in the Champions League! For the fifth season in succession, the Green-Whites will be pitting their talents against Manchester United, Chelsea, Real Madrid & Co. It has been quite a run which has led to Werder Bremen gaining the status as one of Europe’s elite clubs and another qualification will only go to enforcing their development.
“We can begin planning now with the extra €15 million that we will have available to us. It’s also a figure that can be increased by us continuing to perform well. It’s certainly a sum which enables us to grow. We need to continue developing in all areas,” registered Werder Bremen chairman Jürgen L. Born.
General manager Klaus Allofs is in absolute agreement: “There are a couple of positions in which we would like to strengthen the squad. A striker would be good but that’s not easy. We are well endowed with players and it certainly won’t be cheap to continue improving the team. There is also no guarantee that things will work out.”
Torsten Frings would certainly welcome the squad being strengthened further and he noted the departures of Ivan Klasnic and Tim Borowski: “Despite all of our problems, our squad was just too strong for us to really slip back down the table. I was never seriously worried about our situation but we are just not as far along as Bayern Munich, who have a one-for-one replacement for every player. Aside from that, we are now losing two very important players and, because of that, I expect we will have to come up with something.”
