A streak has to end some time, and there could not be a better and more important time point as Saturday, 1 May 2010 as Werder Bremen play their final Bundesliga away match of the season at Schalke. The Green-Whites have not won on the road against the Royal Blues in more than eight years - when they won 4-1. Torsten Frings was one of the best players back then, so the current captain knows from experience how difficult the trip to Gelsenkirchen is.
It's more important than ever before to win now as they are missing just two steps to securing qualification for the Champions League. But Bremen are being hunted - and that will likely be until the final thrilling second of the season. Bayer Leverkusen are even on points and just behind the Green-Whites in goal difference. Borussia Dortmund are also close - just one point behind Werder. Head coach Thomas Schaaf addressed the dramatic situation at the press conference ahead of the game. "Often everything is determined at this point. Now we are right in the middle of the excitement and fully concentrated. You have to stay alert," said the coach. "We have to give it all once again," the coach told his team before the Bundesliga showdown.
