A home from home

Football is psychological! Games are won and lost on mentality! There does appear to be more to these phrases than mere metaphorical value. Whether a hot head or a cool character, players decide games from their own personal control centre.

The work of a winner

For Aron Jóhannsson, a difficult sporting year came to an end a few days ago. Off the pitch, it could have been one of the nicest years in the 27-year-old’s life due to the birth of his daughter Alba. But the American attacker struggled with injuries in 2017. The turn of the year offers the forward a chance to claim a place in Werder’s XI, to right previous wrongs and to look to the future. Those...

No end in sight!

17 matchday squad call-ups, 15 appearances, 14 of which over the full 90 minutes. To add to this, a senior team debut for the Serbia national side put the cherry on top of the cake for Milos Veljkovic in the first half the season. Personally, things are going well for the 22 year old, who feels right at home on the Weser and is ambitious about his future.

In Autumn however, the tide changed. This time, the Green-Whites were 11 games without a win. 2017 was the year of a Werder of two halves.

A heroic hat-trick

19th November. A big day in Bremen. 90 minutes against Hannover 96 which could change Werder’s season. It could be the first win of the season, the end of the drought, a weight off the Green-Whites’ shoulders, breathing space – all of these phrases which so many people want to believe could at long last come to fruition. That should’ve been the case against Frankfurt. And should’ve been against...

The 45,000 minutes of Clemens Fritz

His last appearance in front of the crowd at the Weser-Stadion got under his skin so much that he had to hold back the tears. Saying goodbye to Clemens Fritz was certainly an emotional affair – both for the former player and for SV Werder Bremen.

Going into the winter break on a high

We had a chance it and we took it! After the hard-to-take last-minute equaliser in the league at the weekend, the Green-Whites gave their fans a win to celebrate to end the year on a high. “It was really important to end the first half of the season on a positive note. The relief around the team is huge. Now we can relax for a week or two on our holidays,” Florian Kainz said. None of the...

Another DFB-Pokal home win - Werder are into the quarter finals!

The record goes on – Werder beat SC Freiburg 3-2 in the DFB-Pokal round of 16 to make it 37 cup tie wins in a row at the Weserstadion. The Green-Whites made a fast start once again. Ishak Belfodil (3’) and Florian Kainz (20’) set Werder on course for victory. The celebrations about doubling the lead were only short however.

A real handful

It should have been Ishak Belfodil’s evening. His first Bundesliga goal extended Werder’s lead and the team’s belief in a win, but the Algerian and his teammates received a bitter “slap in the face” at the death. Nevertheless, the striker took advantage of the chance in the starting XI he was given, as Frank Baumann and Florian Kohfeldt emphasised after the final whistle. “He worked a lot, got...

Disappointed but determined

It ended as it began – with a goal. After a blistering start and Philipp Bargfrede’s goal, a third home win in a row was there for the taking but Werder could not get the job done in the end. Mainz scored the equaliser with practically the last kick of the game to make it 2-2. Mixed in with the frustration about conceding the late equaliser, however, was also the pure determination to come back in...
