The 2-2 draw against Frankfurt summed up Werder’s season so far. The Green-Whites put in a fantastic performance, but were not rewarded with the three points. Frank Baumann had similar thoughts on the start to the Rückrunde: “On the one hand I’m very pleased that we’re playing football that’s good to watch. That’s a difference to the last few difficult seasons. On the other hand, we should have more points in the bag.”

Werder are currently 11th in the table, which doesn’t mean so much at this stage of the season with 15 games still to go. The Green-Whites are two points away from their goal of the European spots. “The next three weeks will be extremely important for us, so that we don’t lose ground. We shouldn’t drop points unnecessarily,” said Baumann.

Three of the next four games are against teams in the bottom four; Nürnberg, Augsburg, Stuttgart. The other match is an away trip to Berlin, and Baumann is aware of the “difficult games” up ahead. For Baumann, all teams have “more quality than their current place in the table suggests”. “The games against Hannover and Frankfurt should set the bar – our intensity and performance-levels should be just as high,” he added. In the end, it’s all about getting the points.
