The Werder group has arrived in Jerez de la Frontera. Spain? Wasn't there something special there? The term "Tiki-Taka" is the Spanish short passing game of nearly never-ending ball circulation made famous by Barcelona and the Spanish national team. It has become feared in world football. That's reason enough for WERDER.DE to switch its column "Short news" to "Tiki-Taka" during the training camp in Jerez from 8-17 January 2014.

+++ A small Theo: Werder's Theodor Gebre Selassie really had a special Christmas season as the Czech international got engaged to his long-time girlfriend Leona Kurilová on 23 December 2013. It was also announced that Theo would become a first-time father in June. What will it be? "To 99 percent, a small Theo," said Gebre Selassi. "We are looking forward to our baby. The wedding is then planned for the summer of 2015. I wanted to clear things up before Christmas." Theo, you did a good job with that! +++

+++ Father happiness, Part 2: Eljero Elia already has two small daughters. But that's not all. A third baby is on its way, the 26-year-old announced Thursday. "I'm hoping this time for a footballer," said Elia about wanting a baby boy. In addition to the private happiness, things are going good for Elia sports-wise as well. The readers of the Dutch football magazine Voetbal International picked him among the top five Dutch internationals. +++

+++ Prödl handing out drinks: There was a nice get-together between fans and players Monday evening at Sherry Park in Jerez. The 50 Werder supporters in Jerez had a chat in the fan hotel with Sebastian Prödl, Raphael Wolf, assistant coach Damir Buric, goalkeeper coach Marco Langner as well as management trainee Tim Borowski. They talked about various things in the world of Werder. As a representative of the team council, Prödl invited the fans to a round of drinks. Cheers! +++
