It took a long time before the Werder players finally returned to the changing rooms Thursday afternoon. The preparations for the Bundesliga match against Freiburg started in the catacombs under the East Curve of Weser Stadium. Then numerous fans came to the training grounds to enjoy a training match full of intensity which ended 1-1 after two 30 minute halves. Marko Arnautovic and Claudio Pizarro scored the goals as the big fight for playing time in Werder's squad that head coach Thomas Schaaf and manager Klaus Allofs had prophesised during preparations was never more evident than in this training game.

Schaaf has three more options for the 18-member squad for the weekend as Bargfrede, Wolf and Ignjovski are all fit again. "Philipp, Andi and Iggy are possibilities for the squad on the weekend. But it's too early for Tim Borowski,' said Schaff. "This competition within the team is helpful and a difference from last season. But it must also be clear that not every player who returns is right back in the same condition that we know of him," said the coach.
