Werder’s youth players did not have much time to process their impressions from Wednesday night as head coach Thomas Schaaf ordered his players to the Weser Stadium training grounds shortly after their landing at Bremen airport on Thursday. Included in the mix were seven members of the U23 team - Clemens Schoppenhauer, Pascal Testroet, Lennart Thy, Felix Kroos, Onur Ayik, Niklas Andersen and Dominik Schmidt.

 

While most of the players went through their individual recovery measures and took laps on the wet grounds, Thy, Testroet and company were busy kicking the ball around. "So shortly after the game, the disappointment about the elimination outweighs anything else," said Kroos, who played his first game for Thomas Schaaf’s team. "I think that I can be happy about my debut in the Champions League in a couple days," added the 20-year-old Kroos.

 

"The success of the team was the focus," for 18-year-old Lennart Thy as well. But he added: "It was a great thing and it was nice to have taken this first step." For all Green-Whites, the concentration now focuses on the Bundesliga match Sunday against St. Pauli. "We want to prove to our fans that we can do more than just lose," said vice-captain Per Mertesacker after the final whistle in London.
