Special situations call for special measures. And since Werder find themselves in one of those this season, the Green-Whites supporters have gone through extraordinary methods for weeks to show that the Werder players can depend on them not only in good times, but especially in tough times. "We are happy that we have this kind of support and that our fans think about things. It's clear that you can express your outrage if things don't go so well. But we also know that every kind of support does us good, helps us, and pushes us," said head coach Thomas Schaaf.

A few weeks ago for example numerous fans greeted the team bus before the Bayern game at the stadium with balloons to give their team extra motivation following the 3-0 loss at Cologne. "What the fans showed today was really great," said Schaaf back then.

And on Saturday before the home game against Borussia Mönchengladbach there will be another excellent fan campaign. Under the motto "Mit Herz und Hunt - 100% Werder" ("With Heart and Hunt - 100% Werder") the Werder supporters want to support 24-year-old Aaron Hunt. "I think you have to look at that from two sides," said Schaaf. "On the one hand there is a natural dissatisfaction with his performances, which Aaron has himself because he certainly imagined this season quite differently. On the other hand, it's nice when the support comes. That is important for him. Of course he wants to improve his game. He gives his all and works for the team. At the same time this action by the fans also presents an obligation for him to face up to these aspects," said the coach. "Our fans have a fine sense of what helps the team in certain situations," added manager Klaus Allofs.
