New yet well established: Thomas Delaney has been trusted to wear the captain’s armband. “It feels totally natural,” he says. The Dane could take to the field as captain in his first competitive match for Werder on Saturday after just eight months at SVW. He will, in all probability, replace Zlatko Junuzovic and Niklas Moisander who are both currently sidelined due to injury. “I’m very proud of my...

Resurfacing with a few setbacks

It has passed its final test – the new hybrid pitch is ready after the ‘Tach der Fans’ festival last weekend. It took two and a half months to sow the pitch, let it grow and to weave the synthetic fibre but the ball finally rolled between the Ostkurve and the stadium’s arches for the first time since the resurfacing during the friendly against Valencia CF.

Draw against West Ham United

The match began a little disjointed, with both teams giving the ball away cheaply. Luca Caldirola met a Florian Kainz free-kick with his head to put Werder into the lead in the 16th minute.  Just ten minutes later the Hammers were level, however, as ex-Werder man Marko Arnautovic equalised. It was the Londoners who had the better of the second half and got a deserved second through Martinez....
