“Frankfurt are more than Haller, Rebic and Jovic”

When you look at Werder’s upcoming opponents, there’s an obvious strong point of their team. The attacking trio of Rebic, Haller and Jovic have been involved in 44 goals so far this season. However, Frankfurt have much more to offer than just their attackers.

“Werder first club I’ll talk to”

Johannes Eggestein developed ever further during the Hinrunde. The 20-year-old played in 11 Bundesliga games and both of the Green-Whites’ DFB-Pokal games. Therefore, there have obviously been questions about whether he’ll sign a contract extension, with his current deal due to expire in the summer. “I can deal with this situation. I’m very relaxed and try not to worry too much,” said Eggestein.

Langkamp: “That can carry us”

There’s a definite trend when comparing Werder’s points totals from the Hin- and Rückrunde in the past four seasons: 15 then 27, 16 then 29, 15 then 23, and 17 then 26. The Green-Whites tend to have a strong second half of the season. “You still have to pick up the points,” said Sebastian Langkamp.

Important, deserved, and a little bit “crazy”

There was a feeling that Werder should have wrapped up the game against Hannover earlier, but they fully deserved the three points. “It’s crazy that it only finished 1-0,” said Florian Kohfeldt after the game. Despite the missed chances, the Werder head coach was pleased with his team: “I saw the consistency that we needed today. I had a feeling. The boys wanted to win.” Werder had 23 shots today...

Young and hungry for success

Werder are particularly well-stocked in attack this season. Even with the potential departure of Florian Kainz, the head coach still has a lot of options to choose from up front.

Two of these are Jojo Eggestein and Josh Sargent, who have both started to make an impact recently. ...

Start the new year right

It’s been 28 days since Werder ended the Hinrunde with a defeat in Leipzig, despite putting in a good performance in the 3-2 defeat.

Simply carrying on

There are times when you simply don’t want to stop what you are doing. Kevin Möhwald went through one of these phases shortly before the Bundesliga winter break. “When you go on a run for the first time in a while, you naturally want to carry on. If it had been down to me, I would’ve like the matches to have continued,” said the 25 year-old, who managed to work his way into Florian Kohfeldt’s...

“A good step forward”

Werder’s friendly against Bidvest Wits was a good way to end the club’s training camp in South Africa according to Florian Kohfeldt, even if he wasn’t entirely pleased with the 2-2 result. The Green-Whites took part in some light training on Saturday morning and will travel back to Germany shortly afterwards. Werder’s ten days in South Africa have come to an end, and it’s time to look back on the...
