That was a huge reason for motivation

Since the turn of the year, Milot Rashica’s performances have sky rocketed, earning him the nickname Rocket Man. The Kosovan attacker scored a brace on Friday night in Werder’s 4-2 win against Schalke and has six goals since the start of 2019. In an interview with WERDER.DE, the 22 year-old spoke about what has gone so well in front of goal so far this year, what has helped him, putting previously...

Werder have too much for Schalke

Werder beat Schalke 4-2 on Friday evening in a game that was well-fought right until the end. The result means that the Green-Whites are still unbeaten in the Rückrunde in their quest for European football.

Make up some ground

Werder are in action on a Friday evening for the fourth time this season, and they haven’t lost yet. They’ll be hoping for a similar result against Schalke tomorrow, as they kick off matchday 25 in the Bundesliga.

We have to take risks

Werder Bremen are a team like no other, both on and off the pitch. Conviction, the joy of playing, courage, and the willingness to take risks are all characteristics of the club. These are all attitudes that Florian Kohfeldt has taken on board and worked on. And, despite a lot of draws recently, Werder still have a very clear goal in mind, as emphasised during the press conference on Thursday.

Langkamp to miss games against Schalke and Leverkusen

Relief for Sebastian Langkamp. The injury that forced off Werder’s centre-back from the game against Wolfsburg on Sunday is not as bad as once feared. This was announced after an examination on Monday.

A draw the right result

Werder picked up a point in Wolfsburg and the general consensus was that it was the right result. Max Kruse got the equaliser for the Green-Whites. “We woke up after we conceded and got the equaliser that we deserved. A point is fair,” he said after the game. One negative from the game was the injury to Basti Langkamp, who has gone to hospital for an X-ray.

1-1 against Wolfsburg – slow start, better ending

Werder always score. But they had to settle for a point in Wolfsburg. Both teams had chances in the first half, but it was the home side that were marginally on top. Shortly into the second half, Werder went behind when John Anthony Brooks beat the offside trap to head in from a free kick. After the goal, Werder seemed to wake up and turned things up a notch. Several chances followed, but it was...

Werder face surprise package Wolfsburg

Wolfsburg are a team in form, winning three of their last five games. A look at the table also suggests that Werder are underdogs for the game on Sunday (18:00 CET), with the hosts fifth at the moment. However, Florian Kohfeldt pointed out in his press conference before the game that Werder have picked up just as many points as Wolfsburg so far in the Rückrunde, with ten. 2,500 Green-Whites fans...

Nerves ahead of the challenge

When Florian Kohfeldt was appointed as the new SV Werder Bremen head coach in 2017, he became the fourth Green-Whites head coach in just four years. He also became the third coach to leave the academy coaching team to take the senior job. The club’s decision to appoint Kohfeldt was questioned in some quarters with doubts surrounding whether the former Werder U23s coach could take the step up and...

"We couldn't find a way through"

Werder had to settle for a 1-1 draw at home to Stuttgart on Friday evening. “We didn’t find a way through,” against a team that sat very deep said Captain Max Kruse. Florian Kohfeldt agreed, saying “There are two or three methods against an opponent that sits so deep. Long-range shots, that worked once. Crosses that rarely worked. There wasn't enough room for runs from deep. It didn't work well."

1-1 again – Klaassen goal cancels out early Stuttgart opener

Werder had to come from behind for the second time in two weeks after Stuttgart went ahead in the second minute with their first attack of the game. The Green-Whites took longer than their opponents to settle into the game and create chances.
