It had not even been 12 hours since the last Werder fan left Steigerwald Stadium when 500 Green-White supporters showed up again to watch Werder at their public training and get the chance to talk to their stars. "It makes sense. It is not that far, grandpa only had to drive one and a half hours," said one young fan in the stands who was "learning a couple tricks from Marko Marin".

Clemens Fritz, who captained the team for the game in his home town, was not surprised with the excellent support. "From the number of fans in the stands today you could once again see how much support we have here in the region. I know that some of them in the stands drove up to 60 kilometres for this training. That's why it's nice that we have the chance to thank them with some autographs," said Fritz.

Werder's fan liaison officer Dieter Zeifer was also satisfied. "We will certainly gain some more supporters. The region is Werder mad. We have seldom experienced more euphoria in the last 20 years," said Zeiffer, who since Tuesday has been visiting some fan clubs in the region.

Even though the schedule for the short training camp in Thuringia is very tight, the Green-Whites continued to patiently sign autographs. Later in the day, the Werder team was expected at the ADAC test grounds in Nohra.
