The new SV Werder Bremen: younger, weaker, more successful

The new Werder Bremen is only good at times, but is constantly collecting points.

The follow-up report of the DeichStube * for the 1-1 draw against SC Freiburg on the fourth Bundesliga matchday.

Bremen - This wisdom is as much a part of football as the corner flags: The better team doesn't always win.

The

has made this experience almost exactly a year ago, brought a good game no points.

Now it's the other way around.

The 1: 1 (1: 1) at

belongs in the “happy” category, and the seven points from four games with a place in the top third of the table hide the fact that things are far from going well at Werder.

But how should it be?

SV Werder is reinventing itself - involuntarily, because financially imperative.

In Freiburg,

after the sale of the experienced Davy Klaassen

, coach

sent

the youngest Werder starting eleven (average age 25.0 years) to the field since March 2016, when the coach was still called Alexander Nouri.

This shows:

serious about rejuvenation, so they really don't play better, but are still more successful at the moment.

“I see our start to the season as very successful in terms of points,” said Kohfeldt and delivered a remarkably objective analysis of the game in Freiburg: “We saw a game in which a victory would have been presumptuous for us.

Nevertheless, we saw a phase game, that's what I would call it. "

Werder Bremen: Young players have problems against SC Freiburg

Parents know this very well, with children it is always said, when things are not so nice, the first teeth ache: “It's only a phase, it will be again.” And that was also the case at the Bremen Spiel im Breisgau.

Bad start, deficit due to a goal from Philipp Lienhart after a corner (15th) - a corner of all things has to be said at Werder.

Because last season there were a record 22 goals against standards.

Is there an old problem popping up again?

No, said Kohfeldt, spoke - how fitting - of a phase in the game when the dominance of the hosts simply led to many standards.

Freiburg are really strong there.

Werder Bremen

, on the other hand, was pretty weak in some areas because the many young players had their problems.

Behind Marco Friedl (22), who increased significantly in the course of the game.

In the Ohne-Klaassen midfield,

(23) struggled in the new six-man role, Jean-Manuel Mbom (20) in the half position as well - as well as the very young Nick Woltemade (18) and Josh Sargent, who is also only 20 is what people tend to forget.

Werder Bremen versus SC Freiburg: Niclas Füllkrug made it 1-1 with a penalty

And who knows, maybe the game would have already been decided if video assistant Bibiana Steinhaus hadn't intervened after Jonathan Schmid's 2-0 defeat because of an offside position from assistants Roland Sallai.

Referee Christian Dingert took back the goal and

confessed: “We were lucky.

But that also woke us up a bit.

After that we were better in the game. ”Which was also due to the switch to a back three.

"It was planned from the outset that we wanted to play two systems because Freiburg is very flexible," explained the coach and noted with satisfaction: "We then had a decent phase, had better game control."

The equalizer resulted from a bad pass by the Freiburg goalscorer Lienhart in his own penalty area, but Leonardo Bittencourt had speculated well at that moment and then cleverly threaded Nicolas Höfler.

got the rest with a penalty - 1: 1 (25th).

Werder Bremen against SC Freiburg: "Good result" - and a little cushion on the relegation places

After the equalizer, Werder suddenly played a bit like Werder wanted to play again.

A little more possession of the ball, sometimes a combination.

After one of these, Nick Woltemade could have made it 2-1 shortly before the break.

Just like later Bittencourt with his head after a fine Augustinsson cross (61st) or Kevin Möhwald with his hammer from 25 meters (64th).

The last good Bremen phase in the game, because then only

on the trigger.

Schmid just missed the brilliantly reacting Jiri Pavlenka (73rd).

risked a dangerous defensive battle early on, but kept the point because in Ömer Toprak (31) and Christian Groß (31) a little bit of experience came into play.

This also compensated for the total failure of Milot Rashica, who came as a joker in the 64th minute.

“To get a point away in Freiburg is a good result,” Kohfeldt referred indirectly to the new situation in Bremen and announced: “We will gradually throw in these young players and develop them.

Then phases in the game will develop again that not only last 20 minutes, but longer.

We have to develop a certain realism. ”Realistically speaking, the seven points are the first seven points for

and a small cushion on the relegation places.

That’s the

only thing that matters for the new

in this phase of the club’s history.

To the match report from October 17, 2020:

Werder Bremen: Three comebacks, but only one point against SC Freiburg

No winner in the Black Forest Stadium: SV Werder Bremen played 1-1 against SC Freiburg on the fourth Bundesliga matchday.

Three players celebrated their Werder comeback.

The game report of the DeichStube *.

Freiburg - After two wins in a row,

also scored points at

.

Thanks to a penalty

by

(24th), the almost relegated last season scored 1-1 (1-1).

Philipp Lienhart had put the Breisgauer in the lead (15th).

The game on the Bremen side was not only characterized by a lot of defensive work, but also by three

.

Kevin Möhwald, Milot Rashica and Ömer Toprak celebrated their return to the Bundesliga stage one after the other.

The game didn't start as a comeback cannon, but as game 1 without Davy Klaassen.

The question of how the Dutchman's departure can be absorbed was

surprisingly

answered by Werder coach

with

.

The 18-year-old was in the Bremen starting line-up, while Yuya Osako didn't even make it into the matchday squad.

Woltemade was unquestionably a very offensive choice by the Bremen coach.

Kohfeldt had given the teenager clear defensive tasks on the way, but when moving forward he should "have fun".

However, the fun factor was very limited - not only for Woltemade, but for the entire Bremen team.

Werder Bremen: Philipp Lienhart and Jonathan Schmid score for SC Freiburg - but only one goal counts

The Werder professionals barely had access to midfield, just chasing the ball and opponents.

A diving header from

, once wearing a Bremen jersey, hissed just over the goal (9th).

But after a corner, the guests fell behind early.

Lucas Höler, born in Achim near Bremen, was completely free at the far post and brought the ball back into the middle, where

only had to hold his foot.

It was the first Bundesliga goal of the Austrian national defender and the first goal against Bremen after a set piece in the current season.

At this point in time there was no doubt that the Freiburg leadership was justified.

Five minutes after the 1: 0, the Breisgauer even increased to 2: 0 - and that would have been fair.

But template provider Roland Sallai had been offside when he passed the then-not-goal-scorer Jonathan Schmid.

Referee Christian Dingert hadn't noticed, but Bibiana Steinhaus, as the

had been careful and looked closely.

Good for Werder, because the team, which had been sluggish until then, would not have recovered from a 2-0 draw.

Werder Bremen: Niclas Füllkrug equalizes with a penalty against SC Freiburg - 1: 1

But that's how Bremen got their chance to stick with it.

And they got the compensation served on a silver platter, so to speak.

intercepted a failed Lienhart pass

, dribbled into the penalty area and gratefully let Nicolas Höfler kick him - a clear case: a penalty kick.

stepped up, made sure to convert and set a

1: 1 that was flattering

for

.

The Kohfeldt team then earned the compensation with a delay.

Although the resistance in midfield and outside positions often left a lot to be desired, the rate of own actions gradually increased.

Woltemade even had the lead, but only managed a poor finish after Sargent's presentation (40th).

On the other side, Maximilian Eggestein had to save seconds before the bullet-ready Höler.

After the break,

the first exclamation mark.

He left Woltemade in the dressing room and helped

the longed-for Bundesliga comeback.

The 27-year-old last stood on the pitch on the second day of last season, when a knee injury stopped him.

And he reported back with a distance cracker: In the 64th minute, Möhwald simply held onto it, hard, but not placed enough.

SC keeper Florian Müller raised his fists in time.

Werder Bremen: Kevin Möhwald came on and off on comeback - Milot Rashica and Ömer Toprak also return against SC Freiburg

Bittencourt had previously missed Bremen's best chance in the second half when he headed an Augustinsson cross over the goal (61.).

For Freiburg, Petersen was blocked by Friedl in a promising position (52nd).

The balance of chances was an expression of a fundamental balance on the pitch.

Kohfeldt wanted to

change

something in favor of

and sent

into the game.

For him the first season appearance after injury and transfer hiccups.

Rashica came on for Bittencourt (65th), and ten minutes later

also celebrated

his comeback.

He was still there in the DFB Cup against Jena, then his calf went on strike.

In Freiburg, his first professional position, he acted as the third central defender.

He was needed as such, because only SC Freiburg pressed in the final phase.

And Werder swam.

However, the multi-legged Bremen defense ultimately blocked one hundred percent of all balls.

The last upset of the game belonged to

.

Because Coach Kohfeldt got him back for Christian Groß in the 87th minute, he marched past Kohfeldt in a more than bad mood.

Short dispute, which will surely have gone into overtime after the game.

3:28 p.m.:

The players arrive on the field on time.

Gebre Selassie and Günter are ready to choose your seat.

3:23 p.m.:

From Woltemade, Kohfeldt expects not only to work backwards, but also to feel comfortable on the pitch.

Above all, the Werder coach emphasizes Woltemade's good sense of space.

3:20 p.m.:

There is a statistical highlight shortly before kick-off.

Not only did Bittencourt score the winning goal in the last meeting, he also scored 7 times in 10 games against SC Freiburg.

3:18 p.m.:

Florian Kohfeldt's men have to be particularly careful in their own penalty area.

The SC Freiburg was awarded 14 penalties against the green-whites.

3:14 p.m.:

The Bremen team is currently “Jugend forscht” and that is reflected in the youngest team under Florian Kohfeldt.

With an average age of 25.0 years, it has been the youngest eleven from Bremen since March 2016.

3:06 p.m.:

Back to today's starting situation: With a green and white victory, Bremen would knock at the top, but if it sets the defeat, Freiburg overtakes with 7 points.

It can point the way for the teams this early in the season.

3:05 p.m.:

The guests were also able to win the last match.

Away the green-whites prevailed 1-0.

Goalscorer then: Leonardo Bittencourt.

The points were divided 8 times, while 9 defeats were recorded.

2:57 p.m.: Let's focus on

the referee and his assistant.

Christian Dingert from Gries will lead today's game.

On the sidelines he is supported by Benedikt Kempkes and Timo Gerach.

Dominik Schaal is the fourth official.

Bibiana Steinhaus takes responsibility in the VAR cellar.

Werder Bremen against SC Freiburg in the live ticker: is there the 3rd win in a row?

2:52 p.m.:

After the victories over Schalke 04 (3: 1) and Arminia Bielefeld (1: 0), Werder could celebrate the hat trick today.

The Bremen team last won three Bundesliga wins in a row in March 2019.

Back then, too, the series started with a success over Schalke (4-2), followed by 3-1 victories over Bayer Leverkusen and Mainz 05.

2.49 p.m.:

Nevertheless: Before the international

, there was a hearty 0: 4 swatter against Borussia Dortmund.

2.47 p.m.:

But not only the guests from Bremen started the season properly.

The hosts around Petersen, Grifo and Co. can also be satisfied.

A win, a draw and a loss - make four points.

2.45 p.m.:

And now the look at the players who did not make it into the Werder squad.

There were: Osako, newcomer Patrick Erras, Romano Schmid, Ilia Gruev.

2:41 p.m.:

In conversation with his colleagues from Sky, Baumann repeatedly highlights the young, exciting squad.

How good the team really is will show in the course of the season.

If it were enough for a win today, the critical voices about Bremen's transfer policy would probably be a little quieter.

2.40 p.m .:

"Woltemade has earned the starting eleven thanks to its performance in training," reveals Baumann.

2.38 p.m .:

"It was definitely a turbulent day - especially the last day of the transfer," says Frank Baumann to his colleagues from Sky.

“Nevertheless we are very satisfied.

I think we can basically be satisfied with the squad. ”According to Baumann, Klaassen's departure could be an opportunity for the rest of the players to take on more responsibility.

2.37 p.m.:

Because captain Moisander does not play from the start, Theo Gebre Selassie, the new "vice", is allowed to lead the team onto the pitch today as captain.

It should be a first in the Bundesliga for the Czech, who has so far only taken over the armband during the game.

2.35 p.m.:

Speaking of defense: Kohfeldt sticks to the staff that has only conceded one

in the last 180 minutes.

Means: Theo Gebre Selassie and Ludwig Augustinsson defend on the outside, Milos Veljkovic and Marco Friedl on the inside.

Ömer Toprak is in the squad for the first time this Bundesliga season after recovering from a calf injury, but like Niklas Moisander, he will initially only sit on the bench.

2.33 p.m.:

In addition to Woltemade, the Bremen midfield also includes Leonardo Bittencourt and Jean-Manuel Mbom as well as Maximilian Eggestein as six.

It is possible that Mbom will move into the defense with Freiburg ball possession and expand the back four to a five-man chain.

2.31 p.m.:

Take Kapino, Möhwald, Rashica, Selke, Agu, Moisander, Toprak, Chong and Groß on the Werder Bank.

2.29 p.m.:

What is Florian Kohfeldt's answer to Davy Klaassen's departure?

Not Yuya Osako!

The Japanese is not even in the squad after his five-day quarantine after his international match.

In contrast, Nick Woltemade made it into the starting line-up.

The 18-year-old will presumably act behind the tips Sargent and Füllkrug.

For Woltemade it is the seventh Bundesliga appearance ever and the second from the start.

Werder Bremen against SC Freiburg in the live ticker: The lineups are there!

2:26 p.m.:

Christian Streich lets play as follows: Müller - Günter, Heintz, Lienhart, Schmid - Grifo, Höfler, Santamaria, Sallai - Höler, Petersen.

So we start the home game against @werderbremen 💪

Werder Bremen before the away game at SC Freiburg between a dream start, realism, dwarfism and optimism

Six points after two games, as waves to the SV Werder Bremen with an away win on Saturday (15.30,

dyke bar) at SC Freiburg a real dream start to the season.

The preliminary report of the DeichStube *.

Bremen - But coach

has to smile a little

at such thoughts

.

"The mood in Bremen has not felt like a dream start in the last few days," says the 38-year-old, who before the away game at

still criticized the second half in the 1-0 win over Arminia Bielefeld and that negative echo of the (non-) action of

in the last few days of the transfer period rings in the ears.

“The public expectation was definitely different,” says Kohfeldt, although he shows understanding, but then made precisely this expectation his topic. 

First of all the hope of a nine-point dream start against

: “We would do extremely well not to count.

We have to go brutally as a limit in every game in order

to be able to win

in the

Werder Bremen coach Florian Kohfeldt stacks deep before the away game against SC Freiburg

Kohfeldt: “We want to play attractive football again, but we all just have to learn that we should have different expectations now.

We are really at the beginning of building up a new team. ”This situation worsened due to the short-term loss of Davy Klaassen.

In terms of training content, the team will be roughly where we were two and a half years ago in autumn 2020.

That is not bad at all, "but we have to understand that a new period has started".

Sounds a bit too dramatic, because although the midfield of

risky and weak, the rest of the team is still of quality.

That is why

“I see the potential of this team.

We have great footballers, we have an offensive that is strong in terms of football, we have a lot of players who can develop well.

I believe in this team. "

Werder Bremen want to bring the necessary mentality to the field against SC Freiburg

Of course also at

Even though the

coach

says about the opponent: “This is really a board.

They have also lost quality, but as we know it from Freiburg:

has a very compact team again, which also defines itself as getting into the last third quickly. "

The decisive factor for

once again to bring the necessary mentality onto the pitch.

And if he doesn't want to think of a dream start, Kohfeldt at least admits: "If we were able to score points in such a difficult away game, then the team would believe that we could score regularly." (Kni )
