We should be all set. Those were the words of Florian Kohfeldt ahead of the first team training session after two months away. "Every one of the lads should be trying to get back what they've been missing in these past few months," said Kohfeldt with a smile. The plan is in place - Werder is finally back in team training, and they'll shortly be heading into the mandatory week-long quarantine before the restarting of the season.

Due to the new DFL-regulations, the Green-Whites will now be moving into a quaratined training camp. "We'll be moving into our team hotel, the Park Hotel," explained Kohfeldt, "There will have the best training conditions possible." When exactly they'll be making the move, will be decided at the weekend.

 

After getting back into team training, the next step for the players is to get into the training camp without contact from the outside world, ahead of the season restarting. SVW will continue to hold the full team training sessions inside the stadium. The reasons for this are obvious: firstly the training is closed to the public, and secondly, the atmosphere of the deserted wohninvest WESERSTADION is similar to how it will be during the matches. “We normally never have the opportunity to perfectly simulate the competitive situation in football. Now, we do," said Kohfeldt. In the same vein, the players will be doing a lot of 11 vs 11 games in training to try and simulate game day conditions.

In addition, getting used to is the main aspect of training design: Small and large groups, possession games, basic elements of team tactics and set-pieces on days with less athletic strain - the coaching team will work intensively with the players until next Monday. Then when the turf of the wohninvest WESERSTADION finally sees the return of football with the home game against Bayer 04 Leverkusen, it will be clear what Florian Kohfeldt's demands on the players are.
