Make up lost ground

When Werder face Wolfsburg tomorrow evening, they’ll have put the disappointed of last week firmly out of their minds. The Green-Whites want to make up for the Stuttgart loss, where they played well but failed to get anything from the game.

“We want to really be on it”

Despite losing 2-1 to Stuttgart at the weekend, Werder were praised for their performance and never-say-die attitude after Milos Veljkovic’s red card. Head coach Florian Kohfeldt is sure that the team won’t be taking their foot off the pedal.

Progress at Werder alongside international duty

Werder Bremen’s talented right back Felix Beijmo hasn’t featured much so far this season. The promising new signing hasn’t featured in any Bundesliga matchday squad since joining the Green-Whites this summer and first team regular Theodor Gebre Selassie remains ahead of Beijmo in the pecking order. “We have confidence in Felix for the Bundesliga,” said Werder sporting director Frank Baumann, who...

Three important matches in October

October is set to be a busy month for Werder, with the Green-Whites playing against three Bundesliga opponents, all of whom had high hopes of league success at the start of the season. Friday’s match against VfL Wolfsburg precedes the international break, after which Werder travel to last season’s runners-up Schalke 04 on Saturday the 20th, before welcoming Europa League competitors Bayer 04...

Gave everything, deserved more

Werder fought and showed a lot of passion but were unlucky to lose 2-1 against VfB Stuttgart. Although SV Werder put in one of their best performances of the season, they came away empty-handed. “I saw us today play very well and we were so mentally strong,” said Max Kruse. However, even though he knew they played well, the captain was self critical after the game. “We were unable to finish our...

Werder lose crazy game in Stuttgart

Despite a strong performance away at Stuttgart, Werder lost the game 2-1. The Green-Whites went behind in the 19th minute of the game, when Anastasios Donis finished after being played through on goal. Things got worse for Werder in the 36th minute, when Milos Veljkovic was sent off for two bookings. The away side got an equaliser in the 68th minute through a bizarre own-goal from a throw-in, but...

A strong statement

With eleven points from five matches, SV Werder Bremen are enjoying the best start to a Bundesliga season for seven years. "We can win anywhere," pronounced Frank Baumann. This is a strong statement to the rest of the league. "The important thing is that we believe that we are difficult to bit. That will show opponents that it’s difficult to get points against us," added the club’s sporting...

"The foundations are in place"

Another Bundesliga matchday, another game that Werder haven’t lost. The Green-Whites remain unbeaten and have won their first match at home this season, scoring three goals in the process. It is a good time to be a Werder fan at the moment.  However, the coaches and management team remain objectively calm as they aim to continue the good start.

Bartels' comeback delayed

Fin Bartels' long time on the sidelines was supposed to be over soon, but Werder’s winger will have to wait longer still as he was inevitably forced to delay his comeback to the squad.

We shouldn’t get carried away

The Werder fans were in full voice as Werder beat Hertha Berlin 3-1 in the Weserstadion. The game was also of significance for Florian Kohfeldt, who equaled King Otto Rehhagel’s record of 16 games unbeaten at home. “We won an important home game and put in a good performance, but we shouldn’t get carried away. We don’t need to re-evaluate things after every matchday,” said the Werder boss after...

Hertha stopped in their tracks

Werder secured their first home win of the season, beating Hertha Berlin 3-1 at the Weserstadion. After two draws at home so far, the Green-Whites finally gave the 39,100 fans present tonight a reason to celebrate. Martin Harnik (11’) and Milos Veljkovic (45’) put Werder into a deserved half-time lead, before Javairo Dilrosun (53’) pulled one back for the away side. After Werder won a penalty,...

Werder’s favourite opponent

Fourth against second. Eight points against ten points. SV Werder against Hertha BSC. When the ball gets rolling tomorrow at 18:30 CEST, two unbeaten teams will square off against each other in the Weser-Stadion. A battle between two teams destined for the top, then? “It’s still too early to talk about things like that,” says head coach Florian Kohfeldt. Nevertheless, Kohfeldt certainly wants his...

Pizarro’s Milestone

30,000: Claudio Pizarro reached an incredible milestone in the 14th minute of the game against Augsburg at the weekend: 30,000 minutes on the pitch in the Bundesliga. The 3-2 win was also his 235th in the top flight, equalling the record of Franz Beckenbauer. However, he still has a way to go to get to the top of this list, with Oliver Kahn on 310 Bundesliga victories. Pizarro is also chasing...

An important win

Werder took the three points in a frantic game against Augsburg, but boss Florian Kohfeldt took negatives as well as positives from the game. “We have a very good mentality in the team,” said Frank Baumann, and this no-doubt helped the Green-Whites get the win after the home side’s comeback.

Klaassen wins it for Werder

Werder got their second away win in as many games, beating Augsburg 3-2 to ensure they remain unbeaten this season. Augsburg started the game well in front of over 25,000 fans at the WWK Arena, but it was Werder who struck first. The Green-Whites scored two goals in as many minutes to silence the crowd. Kruse headed Werder in front (34’) before Maxi Eggestein scored another long-range effort to...

Away matches are much nicer now

SV Werder Bremen have the aim of qualifying for international competitions. It is obvious that only a draw at home to 1. FC Nürnberg isn’t good enough to achieve this aim. There aren’t two ways of looking at this. “We are not satisfied with our early results, but it isn’t a bad start,” said Werder sporting director Frank Baumann. The Green-Whites haven’t lost a match so far this season and have...

He improves the way we play

He got two assists and a goal against Worms in the DFB-Pokal, but Max Kruse is yet to register yet in the Bundesliga. However, Florian Kohfeldt says there is nothing to be worried about.

The importance of self-criticism

You could see the disappointment in the faces of the Werder players when Virgil Misidjan equalised to snatch a point for Nürnberg last weekend. Four days on, the club’s hierarchy spoke of self-criticism.

20.09.2018 / 14:47 / First Team

“It was unstoppable”

In the 26th minute of the game against Nürnberg, Maxi Eggestein scored a wonder goal. He got the ball out of his feet before smashing a magnificent shot beyond the Fabian Bredlow in the goal. “It was unstoppable,” said the Werder midfielder after the game. “You can’t expect a goal like that, but I wanted to get it on target. I managed that quite well,” added Eggestein.

Positives and Negatives

Improvements to be made: Following the game against Nürnberg on Sunday, Max Kruse sat down to answer questions from the press. “It’s really annoying because we were almost begging for them to equalise yesterday. We’ve not lost a game, which we shouldn’t forget, but we’re still not on track for our goal,” said the Werder captain. Kruse didn’t just discuss the team performance, he also commented on...
