Marko Marin would have rather swapped jeans and shirt for a green jersey immediately and played after Werder's newest midfielder arrived in the morning while his new team-mates trained in Bad Waltersdorf. And Marin's team-mates also wanted him in there. "You had enough holidays. Go change and get on the pitch," joked Clemens Fritz as he greeted Marin. But Marko Marin first met with the team behind the team and had his first talks with Klaus Allofs and Co.
Don't overexert Marin
The manager Allofs was clearly happy about the arrival of the new No. 10 in a Werder jersey. He also clarified that expectations should not be put too highly on Marin. "We are not expecting him to change the world. He has played a couple times for the German national team and did not do too bad there. So Marko is already more than just a talent. But it's something else if you play strong matches in Gladbach or with Werder, where you regularly have to show a high level at the international stage. Just like in the beginning with Mesut Özil, we need to have patience and are ready to take him out to ease the burden," said Allofs.
"I would like to continue developing"
"I would like to continue developing with Werder; take the next step and am happy that it's finally time to go," said the new Bremen player, who had his first training with Werder Monday afternoon and left a good impression. During the training game, head coach Thomas Schaaf called over Marin a number of times to give him tactical directions. "For me, this is a different system. It's good that he gives me so many important tips on the pitch. But my team-mates also really helped me a lot today during practice," said Marin after his first day with the Green-Whites.
