Reactions to the draw

 

General manager, Klaus Allofs:

 

That wasn't exactly our dream draw. We'd hoped for Arsenal or Liverpool. There were surely also a few easier draws in the pot. Juve are the dominant team in Italy, they have a ten point jump on the second placed side in Italy and that having conceeded very few goals, they are also blushing with big names. A club like Juve are very confident and will consider Werder beatable. We are the clear underdogs but you can reach the next round from such a position. We are satisfied, they will surely be two interesting matches.

 

Jürgen L. Born, chairman of the board:

 

Werder are in good form this season so a cracker like this has come at the right time. Juventus are a world class team and an attractive opponent for us.

 

Head coach, Thomas Schaaf:

 

We are very satisfied. They are a cracking side who will come to Bremen with a long list of top players. It's an interesting draw for us as we've never played Juventus. It will be a real challenge to prove ourselves in this tie.

 

Every team in the pot was strong but Juve is one of the most noticeable. They are more present than other teams thanks to their success.
