However, the midfielder decided to make a fresh start, and made the switch to SV Werder Bremen. Now, a year and a half later, he looks back on...

Believe in the process

The situation remains the same at SV Werder Bremen. Florian Kohfeldt’s side know how to play football, but have so far failed to grind out results and have often been left with either a draw or a loss. Davy Klaassen spoke in the Mixed Zone about the importance of the little things in Werder’s game, and once again addressed their winless run of seven Bundesliga matches.

England made sure of that with three goals in quick succession shortly before full time to make it 4-0 (1-0 HT). Rashica played the full 90 minutes of the Euros qualifier in Pristina and although Kosovo could only manage third place in their group behind...

We need to get back on track!

Werder’s five game unbeaten run came to an end on Sunday afternoon in Gladbach, falling to a 3-1 defeat. After a quick-fire double early on from the hosts, head coach Florian Kohfeldt’s side came close to scoring on a number of occasions. However, in the end, Klaassen’s missed penalty, Osako’s disallowed goal and Bittencourt’s late consolation all epitomise the current situation Werder find...

Dodging responsibility not Michael Lang's thing

There was an unfamiliar sight on the Werder training ground on Thursday. Michael Lang, who is usually a right-back, is practicing on the left side of the defence. It’s not necessarily going to become a habit for the Swiss man but for now it’s happening. "It’s like when you drive a car in London, it’s unusual at first," he said. "I'm right-back, that's where my strengths lie." But the 28-year-old...
