Ahead of Sunday’s trip to Wolfsburg, the Werder head coach spoke once more about how important the 26-year-old midfielder is to his team. “He play a bit role in our style of play, most important in balancing attack with defence.” Klaassen bring a lot of onto the pitch, especially his creativity and this makes him “a key player for us,” says Kohfeldt. “He’s a player who can play the final pass and is also dangerous from distance. He works hard when he isn’t in possession and he dictates the midfield very well,” added the Green-Whites head coach.
Klaassen is likely to start on Sunday away in Wolfsburg (18:00 CET) and make his 27th Werder appearance. Kohfeldt and the rest of the team will hope Klaassen can lead his side to all three points against the Wolves.
