Now the pressure on Werder Bremen is huge! In the relegation battle of the Bundesliga, Saturday delivered results that put the penultimate home game against VfL Wolfsburg (Sunday, 1.30 p.m.) under a clear heading: Victory is a must! The preliminary report of the DeichStube *.
Bremen - After all competitors have scored in the table cellar, SV Werder Bremen has to follow up against VfL Wolfsburg in order not to lose more and more ground.
The 76th minute went on Saturday when two goals were scored in Düsseldorf and Frankfurt, which should have caused long faces at SV Werder Bremen . Fortuna Dusseldorf scored 2-2 against Hoffenheim in 1899, taking one point and extending the lead over Bremen to three points (with a goal difference of four goals). And in Frankfurt Mainz 05 made it 2-0 against Eintracht. The League 15 Tab. on Werder is now six points - that's already a board. Unless Werder Bremen also wins against VfL Wolfsburg. But whether the Bremer really manage to get up again within four days after the 0: 3 against Frankfurt on Wednesday?
Werder Bremen coach Florian Kohfeldt: "Convinced that we will make it to the relegation class"
It will not surprise anyone that coach Florian Kohfeldt is exactly convinced: "We have already shown that we can deal with this pressure when we came back after the 1-4 against Leverkusen." After that, what happened to Kohfeldt in retrospect which calls "seven good halves". Two against Freiburg (1-0), two against Mönchengladbach (0-0), two against Schalke 04 (1-0) and one against Frankfurt on Wednesday. In the second round Werder Bremen fell into old mistakes, conceded three goals, two by standards. Back in crisis mode!
But Kohfeldt - as is so often the case this season - does not focus on the bad, but on the good, and avoids panic and hecticness when performing himself. His team had shown both in the poor eighth half against Eintracht. Kohfeldt: "We weren't calm about the setback." But that is exactly what is needed now. The others - including the bottom of SC Paderborn with the 1-1 at RB Leipzig - scored on Saturday. Results like stabbing for Werder Bremen . Kohfeldt reads the table as follows: “Overall, we are in the fight for relegation . With us, nobody expected us to march through and be saved two game days from the end. We know it will last until the last match day. I am convinced that we will make it into the league. ”
Werder Bremen has won the last four home games against VfL Wolfsburg
In fact, a victory over VfL Wolfsburg would mean a tie with Düsseldorf on the relegation place . The chronic home weakness of the Bremen team (ten of 14 home games lost, only one won) is anything but a good omen. In addition, home victories in ghost mode have become an absolute rarity. In the 43 Bundesliga games without spectators so far, the home team has won only ten times - the odds are below 25 percent. 21 away wins, however, are almost 50 percent. These are statistics that should not encourage SV Werder Bremen. But at least: They have won the last four home games against VfL Wolfsburg. A ray of hope in the gloomy data forest.
For victories, however, goals are needed - and Werder's problems with the production of these huge problems did not become clear in the last few games. Five games, three hits - pretty thin. But Florian Kohfeldt saw the good approach again: “ Obviously, getting ahead is a topic for us. However, we very often come into promising situations, but we do not develop clear opportunities from them. These are the tasks for the game against VfL Wolfsburg . “And don't forget to win! (csa)
