Sometimes the topic is day-to-day things, other times it’s transfers, match philosophies or training methods. After Tuesday’s announcement that Kohfeldt would...

“Improving every day”

Niclas Füllkrug’s two goals in Werder’s 4-0 win vs. SD Eibar were eye-catching, especially as the former Hannover man was only on the pitch for around 30 minutes. ‘Lücke’, as he is affectionately known, made no mistake in timing his run to perfection and bundling the ball home twice, much to coach Florian Kohfeldt’s delight.

Werder beat Eibar 4-0 in convincing display

SV Werder Bremen overcame SD Eibar 4-0 in their first friendly of their Grassau training camp in Bavaria. Werder put in a convincing performance to beat the top-tier Spanish side, in a scoreline that could have been even greater. In the first half alone, Milot Rashica, Davy Klaassen and Josh Sargent all had great chances to score, but weren’t able to convert. Eibar goalkeeper Rodriguez put in a...

“It kind of hurt...”

Maxi and his brother have spent their holidays apart and it’s no wonder, considering the month they spent as roommates. “It was enough,” said Maxi Eggestein, smirking. The two brothers finished second in the U21 Euros with Germany. It was an eventful summer for Werder’s midfielder, which he discussed in an interview with WERDER.DE after his return on Monday – after a very short holiday.

Super sub Sargent wins it for Werder

In an intense game with a lot of fouls and breaks in play, SV Werder came away 1-0 winners against 1. FC Köln in Lohne. In the first 30-minute half there was nothing to split the two sides, with few chances to break the deadlock at either end. Köln only threatened twice with headers from Terodde and Sobiech, but one sailed over the bar whilst the other was held by Pavlenka. After the change of...

Less than ideal start to Interwetten Cup

Werder Bremen’s opening game at the Interwetten Cup ended in a 1-0 defeat to VfL Osnabrück. The newly-promoted second-tier side were on top in the first 30-minute half on a slick pitch, after a downpour had delayed kick-off slightly. Claudio Pizarro came closest to scoring for the Green-Whites in the first half, while VfL’s Kevin Friesenbichler was able to find the target after 19 minutes. Werder...

A desire for more

Claudio Pizarro has taken part in the one or the other pre-season training during his career—in fact, he’s done it 10 times with Werder. Not much has changed, except for the time needed for his body to recover. He knows his place within Florian Kohfeldt’s system, meaning he can direct his focus to his fitness. “Pre-season is very important for me. It defines how my season will go,” the Werder...

Gebre Selassie to be monitored further

It is the outcome that frustrated head coach Florian Kohfeldt the most in Zillertal. In the opening minute of Werder’s friendly against WSG Swarovski Tirol, Theodor Gebre Selassie was injured after coming off second best from a duel and had to be monitored. “We still have to keep an eye on him,” said the head coach after training on Wednesday morning.

The wing is the new focus

Johannes Eggestein’s 19/20 campaign began on Monday. Despite missing the team’s intensive training camp in Zillertal, the attacker knows what needs to be done. The aims are clear. “Florian Kohfeldt and I have discussed the possibility of me playing on the wing next season,” explained Eggestein in the media round on Tuesday afternoon.

Caution needed

The Green-White squad touched down at Bremen Airport on Sunday afternoon with ten tough days of training in Zillertal behind the Werder team. However, after a “very good” training camp, Florian Kohfeldt is “unsettled”. But the head coach revealed that his worries have positive reasons.

“Look at it in context”

The game against SV Darmstadt 98 was exactly the game it was expected considering the 10 days of intensive training in Zillertal in the build-up to it. There were tired legs to begin with, a slow pace, a few errors, good basic skills and lots of substitutions. Florian Kohfeldt had a lot to speak about after the match. Although not everything is in tip-top shape, it’s completely normal at this time...
