Bartels: “So much history in this game”

Fin Bartles knows that a right mix of ingredients is required for a special derby: a good atmosphere in the stands, but also pure willpower from both sides to bring commitment and passion onto the pitch. Bartels knows what he is talking about. He has only ever played for clubs from Germany’s northern region and has gathered plenty of Derby experience.

It’s all about the game on Sunday. We’ll fight tooth and nail to win it.” And the 29-year-old is fully aware of the...

From herds of zebras to children's beds

A life without smartphones – for many, that would be unthinkable. For the Werder players, a mobile phone is a standard accompaniment on away trips, at the training ground and in everyday life. Above all, an iPhone or a Galaxy is essential, not just for the Werder first-team, but for Green-Whites all over the world. WERDER.DE takes a closer look at the Werder players and their devices. What they...

“We can’t sit back”

It goes without saying that the 2-2 draw in Frankfurt raises the question of whether it should be seen as a point won, or two points lost, on account of the fact that Werder went into the dressing room 2-0 up at half-time. Werder’s director of sport Frank Baumann admitted: “I’m torn. We should have won considering we had the lead, but we have to live with it now.” Manager Alexander Nouri on the...

2-2 draw in Frankfurt

Straight after the break came Gacinovic’s goal from a corner that was headed on by David Abraham (48’) and Marco Fabian’s...

Then 19 points behind, now just two

Despite the brilliant run of seven games on the trot without defeat, nobody at Werder is speaking about Europe. Nouri is urging everyone to stay grounded, especially as his side has little time to refresh their legs. Indeed the Green-Whites take on Eintracht Frankfurt on Friday, 7th April at 20:30 CEST. This fine run of form has seen the Green-Whites close the gap on their next opponents.

Humble but enjoying himself

Maximilian Eggestein will not be able to hang up his shirt in his lounge on the occasion of his first ever Bundesliga goal after swapping it at the end of the game. Not however, with an opposition player, but a fan in the Ostkurve. The decision was a spontaneous one, posing next to the fan with a shirt of his brother Johannes. “We’ll see what he thinks of it,” joked Maxi Eggestein, who scored his...

Sudden return
