Werder Bremen's 6-0 victory in Freiburg allowed them to take over the lead in the Bundesliga for the first time in 95 game days as Bremen last topped the league in the 19th game day of the 2006-07 season.

 

What is striking is how relaxed and balanced Bremen are taking the current situation. "The game day is not even over with, but leading the league is not an issue for us. As long as we can continue to play consistently, then we can achieve quite a bit this season," said manager Klaus Allofs. "If we are at the top, then it's good. That gives us more confidence. We are just going game by game and know that we have a tough schedule until Christmas," said head coach Thomas Schaaf, who added: "The game today was super, but we know everything else will come step by step."

 

The coach then turned his attention to next week. "The game against Wolfsburg is now the next hurdle. That will be a great game against the German champs. And already there we will see that we can't get anything for this 6-0 victory. We have to once again work fully concentrated towards that game. Our expectations rise with every good game," said Schaaf.

 

The players already know the next step is to be taken. "Of course we want to be champions at the end if the chance is there. But the season is still very long and there are still a lot of tough opponents awaiting us on our way. We have to continue to remain calm," said the two-goal scorer Hugo Almeida.
