Disappointed. That’s the word Maximilian Eggestein used to describe his feelings after the 1-0 defeat against VfL Wolfsburg at the weekend. The team fought with blood, sweat and tears against the Wolves, ultimately falling to a late winner from Wout Weghorst in what was a largely even affair.

The 23-year-old shared a similar view, “It was an even game for large periods, in which we were unable to create any chances. I got the feeling that whoever scored the first goal was going to win the game.” And that’s exactly what happened. While SVW were struggling to find that cutting edge in the final third, VfL Wolfsburg celebrated the only goal of the game in the 82nd minute at the wohninvest WESERSTADION. Once again Werder conceded in the second half, however Eggestein doesn’t believe it’s a case of the team running out of gas, “I don’t think we have a fitness problem. It’s one situation that decided the game. We have to be more alert.” The team have already proved this, previously keeping three consecutive clean sheets, which is something they will want to continue over the coming weeks.

The team’s focus now switches to an important few weeks ahead, “We go again. We now have four games left to catch up with Düsseldorf, no matter how. That’s the goal.” Despite two consecutive defeats, Werder’s number 35 remains confident, “We know that we can win games. We’ve shown that since the restart. We have to prove that again out on the pitch. Nothing’s impossible, we can do it. The fact that we’ve done it before gives us hope.”

Maxi Eggestein demands his team to forget about the disappointment and go into Saturday’s must-win game against SC Paderborn 07 with confidence, “We have to stay confident. Only then we can play football.”
