Bundesliga club SV Werder Bremen is going through difficult times. The traditional club is in free fall, worries about remaining in the league. Nevertheless, you hold on to coach Kohlfeldt.
- Werder Bremen is in free fall in the Bundesliga.
- The North Germans are on a relegation zone.
- The club management still holds on to coach Kohlfeldt.
Coach Florian Kohfeldt questioned the direct rescue for the first time, manager Frank Baumann was already thinking about a relegation game against HSV: After the "felt defeat" at 2-2 (1-2) in Berlin, the frustration at Werder Bremen was great, the sporting Management corrected the season goal.
"If we win, that's okay," said Baumann in the current sports studio on ZDF about a possible northern derby in the relegation against archrival Hamburger SV , currently second in the second division. The own team was able to stop the defeat series in Berlin, but consolidated the penultimate place in the table with 18 points. For Baumann, relegation is now the goal: "Anything else would be unrealistic."
Werder Bremen: Kohlfeldt after feeling defeat before the end?
Long-term optimist Kohfeldt still thought it was possible to reach 15th place, "Nevertheless, the first goal will now be to reach the relegation place ," said the coach, whose team is already pretty bad. "And if necessary, we will do it," said the coach , "although I would prefer the other way."
But apparently Werder no longer has the strength or quality to escape the relegation mess this season. The negative series is just too blatant. Bremen had just four points from their last eleven league games, the goals in Berlin by Josh Sargent (3rd) and Davy Klaassen (7th) were the first goals of their own in 2020.

"We played strong for 20 minutes, then we stopped playing football," said Niklas Moisander . The defense chief had no explanation for the sudden slump and complained that his team had not yet played a good 90-minute game this year. "We must finally succeed."
Side man Kevin Vogt found that after 20 minutes the team suddenly stopped acting purposefully and at the end rightly gave up the win: "We will bring the opponent, who was almost dead, back into play through our own fault is annoying. "

Despite the difficult situation, Baumann nipped a discussion about Kohfeldt in the bud. "We have a really good coach. We are discussing with him how we can free ourselves from this situation," said Werder's long-time professional. However, Baumann left it open whether Kohfeldt would stay in the second division : "A realization in recent years has been that it is no use giving guarantees to the coach."
Hertha was also not satisfied after the game. As in the previous week at the 0: 3 halftime score at Fortuna Düsseldorf , the Berliners were again lagging behind. "I have to admit that I jokingly wanted to say that we only start at 0-2," said interim coach Alexander Nouri, whose record is still very modest.

With ten points ahead of the Bremen team, the Berliners have a good cushion to the direct relegation zone, but the danger of relegation is far from over. "Of course we wanted a big point today," emphasized Niklas Stark, who met Matheus Cunha for Berlin . But in the end the concept didn't work out, Stark was at a loss: "If you take a 2-2 after a 0-2, that's actually okay. But there is already a crying eye."
