Augustinsson ready for comeback

The excitement ahead of the winter break has to be huge for Ludwig Augustinsson. The best present for the currently injured left back would surely be a comeback to the Bundesliga. “The plan is to play a few games before the winter break,” said Augustinsson on Tuesday. He’s been itching to come back to the team ever since his injury two and a half months ago.

“We need to learn”

These are the moments that show just how cruel football can be. SV Werder Bremen played some great football and deserved the win, but ended up with just the one point. Nils Petersen’s 93rd minute equaliser sums up SVW’s current problems. Just like the game against Hertha BSC, Florian Kohfeldt’s side dominated large periods of the game, but fell to a late goal from the opposition. “We shouldn’t...

Freiburg have the last laugh in Bremen

What a bitter end to the game. Werder were seconds away from victory against the team fourth in the table, but walk away with just a point after their fifth consecutive Bundesliga draw. The former Bremen man Nils Petersen grabbed the equaliser in the third minute of added time in front of a sold-out WESERSTADION. In the first half, Milot Rashica opened the scoring with his fourth goal of the...

Quick off the mark

Leonardo Bittencourt was a highly-lauded signing when he joined Werder shortly before the end of the summer transfer window. At the time, head coach Florian Kohfeldt called him “an experienced Bundesliga player who will strengthen our attack with his talent.” The last few matches over the past months have proven Kohfeldt right. It didn’t take long for the speedy playmaker to adjust to life in...

"It was a very mature performance"

Goals galore, attractive football and into the next round of the cup: what more could you want? Florian Kohfeldt’s side put the game to bed after scoring 3 goals in the first 20 minutes. Kohfeldt described the second half performance as “mature” after retaining a 4-1 lead. Sebastian Langkamp described the game as “one of the best first-half performances of the season so far.” The reaction to the...

Full speed into the round of 16!

What a first half! What a game! Werder march on into the round of 16 of the DFB Pokal after a convincing 4-1 victory at home to 1. FC Heidenheim. SVW were all over the visitors in the first half, making them pay with a 3-0 lead after just 18 minutes. Rashica, Bittencourt and Klaassen grabbed the goals for the hosts. Friedl then added a fourth in the 41st minute. Schnatterer pulled one back for...

Osako in the squad, Moisander needs more time

Head coach Florian Kohfeldt can now call upon Yuya Osako in the 2nd round cup tie against FC Heidenheim. The Werder attacker just missed out on being named in the squad for the match in Leverkusen, instead remaining in Bremen. For club captain Niklas Moisander, however, the Pokal tie is still too early.

"We are difficult to beat"

Werder are now unbeaten in each of their last four games after a 2-2 draw in Leverkusen, although they have only taken a point once again. Kohfeldt's side weren't consistent enough in an entertaining 90 minutes on Saturday evening. "We played on the counter and deservedly led 2-1. Then we lost control of the game," added Kohfeldt.

Another 2-2 draw - Werder take home a point against Leverkusen

Werder draw 2-2 for the third successive game after a pulsating Topspiel at Leverkusen on Saturday night. An Ömer Toprak own goal gave B04 an early lead after four minutes, before Milot Rashica's deflected shot levelled things just before the break (40'). Davy Klaassen then put Kohfeldt's side ahead five minutes after the break, but Lucas Alario equalised just ten minutes later. Two handballs...

Take risks

Werder have put in some good displays over the past weeks, but haven’t been rewarded with a win after drawing each of their last three games. A lack of consistency and coolness in front of goal has been the biggest problem. Bremen finally want the three points on Saturday at home to Leverkusen (26/10, 18:30 CEST). “We will have to take risks,” explained Florian Kohfeldt at the pre-match press...

“Either score or don’t concede”

Last week’s result against Hertha BSC was disappointing for everyone in Green and White; and Florian Kohfeldt knows it. Nevertheless, the head coach doesn’t want to focus on the missed opportunities, but rather build on their approach to the game. “The game against Berlin has made us realise that we can play our type of football, while being secure at the back,” Kohfeldt said ahead of Saturday’s...

Toprak in the squad - anything possible for Osako

Werder head coach Florian Kohfeldt can once again rely on Ömer Toprak for the upcoming away game against Bayer 04. The centre back returned to team training during this week and is in the squad for the Leverkusen game, as confirmed by Kohfeldt at the press conference. Even Yuya Osako is in question for the weekend.

Trio return, Pizarro trains individually

Great news for Werder fans as the new week of training begins ahead of the game against Leverkusen: Ömer Toprak and Yuya Osako are back in team training. Niklas Moisander is also close to being back in action. However, Claudio Pizarro is working individually.

“It feels like a defeat”

Good performance, good defending, but still no victory: Despite creating a number of chances and performing well defensively, Werder Bremen only take a point from the game against Hertha BSC. “We played our game a lot better than we did in Frankfurt, which makes it all the more frustrating,” head coach Florian Kohfeldt said after the game.

Werder fail to see out the victory

Another draw for Werder but it could have been more. SVW have now gone twelve games against Hertha without a loss, despite only taking away a point. 40,000 fans watched an interesting encounter at the wohninvest WESERSTADION due to the high technical quality of both sides. The Green-Whites started the game as the better side, with Josh Sargent giving them the lead in the 7th minute. The hosts...

Breaking down the “team of the hour”

The wait is finally over: the international break is done and Bundesliga football is finally back. Werder will be at home as they face Hertha Berlin on Saturday, 19th October (15:30 CEST). Having take two points from two away games against Borussia Dortmund and Eintracht Frankfurt, the Green-Whites are looking to deliver a strong performance on their own patch this time around. Florian Kohfeldt’s...

Consistency is key

“The team of the hour” is how Florian Kohfeldt referred to Hertha BSC during a press conference ahead of Werder’s upcoming match on Saturday. However, Bremen are looking to focus on their own performance first and foremost, with consistency being a key word.

Pizarro set to be in the squad

With a two-week international break behind them and a substantial injury list looming, availability was once again the hot topic among journalists at the weekly Werder press conference. Saturday’s home game against Hertha Berlin has been determined as “too soon” for a handful of players. German football’s Peruvian veteran, on the other hand, is fit again, revealed Florian Kohfeldt.
