Admittedly it looked as though the team bus at the Sportplatz an der Mühle grounds had forgotten him. The doors were closed and driver Meik Suhl had already driven a few yards while Naldo was still signing autographs at the clubhouse and looked a bit puzzled. But of course he had not been forgotten. The Brazilian was the only player remaining on the pitch after training Sunday afternoon for a short photo shoot. And the driving service would be chauffeuring him back to the team hotel. But since the shooting for the fan article catalogue ruck-zuck was already done, he had made it in time for the departure. Well, almost at least ... Luckily some of his team-mates at the back of the bus called out "Naldo is missing". Naldo laughed as he recalled the story after the roomy SCANIA allowed him on board.

 

"Naldo is missing" - that is difficult to imagine after nearly four years with Werder. But Bremen fans had to consider such a scenario after many reports questioned the future of the 1.98 meter defender. On Sunday, Naldo talked about the transfer rumours, his fitness after the first couple days of training and his hopes for this season. WERDER.DE listened in:

 

Topic possible club transfer: My agent talked to Klaus Allofs a couple of weeks ago and will do so again soon. They will talk about everything, also about the possibility of a contract extension. But none of that is important right now for me. I am really focused on work here and am not dealing with anything else. Werder at the moment is the best fit for me.

 

Topic Norderney: Norderney is tough every time, but it's a very important time for the whole team and for me personally. During the season, you can see the positive impact of our work here. During my vacation, which I spent entirely in Bremen because of the birth of my new-born daughter Liz, I ran quite a bit in Bürgerpark. You cannot really start off from scratch here, you have to be well prepared.

 

Topic goals: We plan on going for everything this year. We were successful last season by winning the German Cup and reaching the UEFA Cup final. But we want to try and play well in all three competitions this season. We learned last season that every opponent demands 100 percent concentration, regardless if they are a big or "small" team.

 

Topic Marko Marin: For guys like me it's not easy to play against such small and agile guys. You really have to remain very concentrated. Marko played some good games against us. He's an excellent footballer and classy technical player. Playing with Mesut (Özil), he can certainly do some things.

 

Topic Marcelo Moreno Martins: He is a really likable guy and will help us. Despite the language barrier, he has worked himself well into the team. But he's also in good hands with us. I help him a bit. Right now of course we're talking mainly about training. I tell him for example about the coach's instructions or tell him how far we still have to run.
