He is one of the longest-serving Werder players, but there is no Bremen player who is less well-known than Petri Pasanen, who will leave the club at season's end. Pasanen will pull over the Green-White jersey for the final time at Weser Stadium on Saturday. WERDER.DE sat down for a long, very personal farewell interview.
PART 1
Petri, seven years with Werder Bremen. What should the people in Bremen think about when they look back at you?
About a player who liked to play here, who was never sent from the pitch and was never suspended. But of all times right now I have picked up four yellow cards - more than ever before.
You know the last impression remains the longest. The people will recall the "iron-hard Finn" after the four yellow cards.
(Laughing) No, not that. But it would have been a problem if I had been booked against Wolfsburg. Then I would have missed my final home match at Weser Stadium. That would have been really hard.
