Finally! SV Werder Bremen cracked the horror series against FC Bayern Munich

SV Werder Bremen drew 1-1 with FC Bayern Munich - the series of defeats against the record champions broke!

The game report of the DeichStube *.

Munich - Probably the blackest series in German football is a thing of the past:

to

score 1: 1 (1: 0)

after 22 competitive games in a row against

(19 of them in the Bundesliga) - and all of that other than undeserved.

It was the first point against Bayern in ten years.

The Bremen team not only showed great fighting spirit and tactical discipline in Munich, but also set playful accents and in the end even had great chances of scoring the winner.

However, it remained 1-0 by

(45th) and the 1: 1 by Kingsley Coman (62nd).

Werder has been undefeated for seven games and has set a Bundesliga record with the fifth 1-1 in a row.

Florian Kohfeldt

had caused a small surprise before his 100th Bundesliga game: Kevin Möhwald was allowed to play for the first time since May 18, 2019 and now celebrate his comeback after his serious knee injury.

For the midfielder, youngster Jean-Manuel Mbom had to sit on the bench for the first time after six games in a row.

In defense, it caught captain Niklas Moisander, for him the recovered Ludwig Augustinsson moved into the team.

Werder Bremen: Ömer Toprak against FC Bayern Munich in top form

The changes at Bayern were even bigger.

With the exception of Manuel Neuer, for example, all Munich players were missing from the starting eleven who had received the historic 0: 6 swat against Spain during the week with the DFB selection.

But even without Serge Gnabry, Leon Goretzka and Leroy Sane, Hansi Flick was able to send a top eleven into the race in his 50th Bundesliga game as Bayern coach and trusted the 17-year-old Jamal Musiala for the first time from the start.

Werder Bremen

started extremely brave, attacked Munich already in their half.

But the hosts did not take long and quickly took over the command.

But they didn't come through because Werder defended extremely skillfully - with an

in top form.

The 31-year-old acted as the head of a three-man chain (with Christian Groß and Marco Friedl) and took Bayern striker Robert Lewandowski almost completely out of the game.

Werder Bremen against Bayern Munich: Maximilian Eggestein scores 1-0

Werder not only stood in the back, but tried to hold the ball and set accents.

And how!

somehow brought a fine Rashica cross from five meters with the tip of his toe, but Manuel Neuer parried brilliantly (16).

And the national goalkeeper reacted

even better to

margin

, which would not have been necessary because of an offside position.

But these scenes showed:

can actually hurt Bayern.

Leonardo Bittencourt reinforced the impression shortly afterwards with a shot at the side netting (24th).

And what about

?

Despite 68 percent possession before the break, they didn't get a scoring chance worth mentioning.

In contrast to the Bremen team, who were actually allowed to cheer shortly before the change.

After a throw-in by Theodor Gebre Selassie, Sargent simply left the substitute Goretzka (for the injured Lucas Hernandez) standing, passed

, who gave Neuer no chance this time with a low shot - 1-0 (45th).

Werder Bremen: Kingsley Coman heads 1-1 equalizer for Bayern Munich

The crazy thing about it: The lead was not even undeserved and should even have been extended immediately after the break from Rashica.

But the much improved Kosovars lacked the courage after a great through pass from Sargent, when he actually stormed towards Neuer on his own, stopped a little and was still decisively disturbed by Jerome Boateng (46,).

What a missed opportunity!

On the other hand, it was now getting dangerous.

First a deflected shot from Douglas Costa hit the lower edge of the bar (52nd), then goalkeeper Jiri Pavlenka defused an attempt by

(53rd).

coach Flick was apparently not convinced, he prepared a triple change.

But shortly before that, Coman headed 1: 1 after a long Goretzka cross, Gebre Selassie was not paying attention (62nd).

How annoying from Bremen's point of view.

And the prospects were not good, because Flick brought three stars in one go, as planned before the equalization: Sane, Gnabry and Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting replaced Coman, Costa and Musiala (63.).

Bayern now wanted to know and turn the game.

Also

responded: For the apparently ailing Bittencourt he sent Felix Agu the field (66th).

It was the Bundesliga premiere for the new signing from VfL Osnabrück, who is fit again after his corona infection.

A little later, Mbom came for the exhausted Möhwald (72nd).

fought - including coach Kohfeldt on the edge of the field, who from the point of view of referee Gudio Winkmann once complained too violently and saw the yellow card for it (80th).

His players also looked turned up, Sargent duped Boateng, but was then blocked by the ex-international with the shot (83rd).

In return, Choupo-Moting missed the safe 2: 1 from three meters, probably because Toprak had worked him from behind.

It got more and more dramatic.

Again, Sargent was in the spotlight, ran alone to Neuer and failed again as the best goalkeeper in the world (87th).

What a game!

The point was more than deserved for the Bremen team, and Ömer Toprak and Christian Groß deserved special praise.

With eleven points from eight games,

in midfield and can confidently compete in Wolfsburg on Friday evening.

Bayern Munich:

Neuer - Pavard, Boateng, Alaba, Lucas Hernandez (19th Goretzka) - Javi Martinez - Douglas Costa (63rd Gnabry), Müller, Musiala (63rd Choupo-Moting), Coman (63rd Sane) - Lewandowski

Werder Bremen:

Pavlenka - Gebre Selassie, Toprak, Friedl, Augustinsson (66th Agu) - Groß - M. Eggestein, Möhwald (72nd Mbom) - Bittencourt - Sargent, Rashica (90th + 1 Chong).

Bayern are closer to 2-1 than Werder here, of course, but that wasn't really necessary for the last few minutes.

And you can understand the coach.

Pavard throws himself at Augustinsson, but Winkmann incomprehensibly leaves the pipe in his pocket.

63rd Min:

Unfortunately, it was only a matter of time before Bayern equalized here.

The Bremen back team barely had time to catch their breath.

The fact that the goal then falls through a half-field flank from Goretzka, which could have defended better, makes it all the more annoying.

But would, would have bicycle chain.

Werder now has more than 25 minutes full of approaching Bayern ahead of them.

Werder actually leads, not undeservedly, in Munich!

Madness!

Halftime!

Werder Bremen lead 1-0 in Munich thanks to Maximilian Eggestein's late opening goal.

And you can't even say that this is entirely undeserved.

Werder has held up well from the first minute and has good chances themselves.

45th Min + 1:

There are still two minutes of added time in the first half.

45th Min:

What's going on here?

Shortly before the break, Maxi Eggestein made it 1-0 for Werder Bremen after a nice back pass from Josh Sargent.

From around 10 meters he gives Manuel Neuer no chance and shoots flat into the left corner of the goal!

45th Min: Goooooool for Werder Bremen !!!!

Maxi Eggestein scores the surprising 1-0 from Bremen's point of view!

45th Min:

A few moments until half-time whistle.

It doesn't look so wrong at all.

42nd Min:

The green-whites are really strong in standards so far.

41.Min:

Möhwald not clear enough in front of his own penalty area.

This results in a direct shot by Musiala, who creates more danger here than the rest of the Bayern offensive.

The shot is deflected slightly and leads to the next Bayern corner.

39.Min:

Bayern are now more dangerous again.

The combinations in front of the penalty area do not lead to any further goal actions worth mentioning.

37.Min

Musiala almost comes to an end after a half-field cross!

Lucky for Pavlenka that he just can't get there.

33rd Min:

Robert Lewandowski has so far been completely logged off here.

Toprak Friedl and Groß do an excellent job of that.

32nd Min:

Leo Bittencourt rightly sees the yellow card after fouling Musiala.

30.Min:

After half an hour the game is more balanced than initially thought.

Werder with the better chances!

26.Min:

Coman is lying on the grass after being hit by Toprak in the penalty area.

Fortunately, it hits the ball first.

24.Min:

And again there was more!

After an exact Rashica flank on the second post, Bittencourt lurks with a direct decrease that goes right past the gate.

22.Min:

Werder is doing it really well.

Defends well and lies in wait for the counterattack.

19.Min:

Bavaria has to change due to injury.

Hernandez hurt himself more in the action with Gebre Selassie and is replaced by Leon Goretzka.

Not necessarily a deterioration.

16.Min:

Huge chance for Werder!

Sargent comes after a cross just before the gate to the conclusion.

Neuer parries forward, where Augustinsson comes to an end again and places the ball in the left corner.

But Neuer is back with a great parade.

15.Min:

Benjamin Pavard sees the first yellow card of the game after a tactical foul on Milot Rashica.

13.Min:

Coman with the first degree from the second row.

Just over to the left.

12.Min:

Gebre Selassie and Hernandez rustle into each other.

Both can continue playing.

10. Min:

If the game continues like this for the entire game, it will be difficult to defend your own goal in the long run.

8.Min

Coman moves into the penalty area on the right, but is pushed out again by the Werder defense.

A subsequent Pavard flank leads to the second Bayern corner, but it does not bring anything.

6.Min:

Thomas Müller comes to the header after the first corner of the game.

No danger.

5. Min:

In the first few minutes, the game works exactly as expected.

Bayern in possession of the ball, Werder in defense mode.

3. Min:

Bayern directly in forward gear.

Diego Costa brings a cross in the middle.

But this ends up in the gate.

1.Min:

Go get it!

In fact, it looks like a chain of three with Toprak, Groß and Friedl in the back.

3:29 p.m.: Referee

Guido Winkmann is in the center circle with captains Neuer and Gebre Selassie.

3:25 p.m.:

You will probably never get used to these empty ranks.

In terms of mood, nothing else is to be expected in the Allianz Arena today.

🗣 #Kohfeldt before #fcbsvw:

“We need absolute focus for over 90 minutes.

Bayern defends high and always plays in depth.

We have to prevent that. ”# Werder |

- SV Werder Bremen (@werderbremen) November 21, 2020

3.15 p.m.:

Since then, it has almost only been bankrupt.

Most recently, there were even 22 Werder defeats in a row.

This is by far the longest series of defeats for two teams that has ever existed.

3:11 p.m.:

This will always be difficult enough.

Do you remember the last Werder win against Bayern?

In the 2008/2009 season there was a whopping 5: 2 in the Allianz Arena.

Goal scorers back then: Rosenberg (2x), Naldo, Özil and Pizarro.

Bayern's double goalscorer was today's Werder assistant coach Tim Borowski.

3:07 p.m.:

With another 1: 1, Werder would stop an eternal Bundesliga.

It would be the fifth straight draw.

Only Leverkusen had done that before.

Werder Bremen against Bayern Munich in the live ticker - Florian Kohfeldt hopes "for the last step"

3:04 p.m.:

Florian Kohfeldt praises Bayern in the Sky interview and sees the record champions even better this season than in the last.

Still, he sees opportunities for his boys.

If the team manages to follow the plan for 90 minutes and take the last step, then there is something possible today.

3 p.m .:

It starts in half an hour.

Can Werder finally score again against Bayern?

2:57 p.m.: By the

way, there is another surprise in the Werder squad: Julian Rieckmann.

As an alternative for defense, the 20-year-old was given preference over newcomer Patrick Erras (25), who will not be there for the sixth time on matchday eight. 

2:52 p.m.:

After the chairman of the supervisory board, Marco Bode, announced that the expiring contract with Frank Baumann should be extended, some Werder fans are certainly wondering again today what actually went wrong in the last transfer period.

Tahith Chong only on the bench and Patrick Erras not even the squad.

2.46 p.m.:

And the Bavarians?

After the 3-2 win against BVB, they are back at the top of the table after seven games.

With Sané, Gnabry and Goretzka there are top performers on the bench, but with Lewandowski, Müller, Alaba and Co., coach Hansi Flick can of course still come up with a world-class team.

With Neuer, Hernandez, Pavard, Boateng, and Müller even five world champions play from the start.

2.40 p.m.:

Werder coach Florian Kohfeldt has come up with something again.

There was no place in the starting XI for captain Niklas Moisander, not even for Jean-Manuel Mbom.

For the two of them, the revived Ludwig Augustinsson and Kevin Möhwald (starting eleven comeback after one and a half years) are allowed to run from the start.

But how does that look tactically?

Gebre Selassie, Toprak, Friedl and Augustinsson probably form the back four that Christian Groß could fall into again and again as a six.

The eighth positions should occupy Maximilian Eggestein and Möhwald.

As expected, the attack is made by Leonardo Bittencourt, Milot Rashica and Josh Sargent. 

2.32 p.m.:

Small surprise in the Werder starting XI: For the first time since May 18, 2019, Kevin Möhwald is allowed to run from the start.

Back then, Werder won 2-1 against RB Leipzig on the last day of the season.

Maybe that's a good omen for the game in Munich.

Möhwald was out for over a year due to a serious knee injury.

Welcome to the live ticker for the game on matchday 8 between FC Bayern Munich and Werder Bremen.

The installation starts here.

To the preliminary report from November 20, 2020:

After 22 bankruptcies in a row: Werder Bremen is allegedly looking forward to FC Bayern and wants to surprise

SV Werder Bremen will play against FC Bayern Munich on matchday eight in the Bundesliga - and want to break the longest negative streak in German professional football.

The preliminary report of the DeichStube *.

Bremen - There should be fans of

who

don't even

watch games against

.

No wonder after 22 bankruptcies in a row - 19 of them in the Bundesliga.

A man from Bremen, on the other hand, is looking forward to the former north-south summit and is doing a lot of advertising for the game on Saturday (3:30 p.m.,

the DeichStube) in Munich: Florian Kohfeldt.

“It's a great game for us,” says the Werder coach: “We're really looking forward to it.

You can tell that in the team, I also notice it in myself and in the coaching team. ”It obviously helps that Werder have been undefeated in six games and with ten points from seven games are still a long way from relegation battle.

Werder Bremen: Florian Kohfeld feels a special tingling sensation before the game against FC Bayern Munich

Of course,

also knows

the horror record, but he has a special view of his personal Bayern statistics and therefore a dream: “It's the best thing to play against the best and then hopefully fly back to Bremen on Saturday evening and To have achieved something almost historic. ”A draw would be

enough for

.

It would be the first point on the 20th attempt.

The end of the longest negative series in German professional football.

Whether consciously or unconsciously - this Werder week is definitely a lot different.

At the virtual press conference the day before the game, Kohfeldt does not wear his advertising-printed tracksuit, as he usually does this season, but a simple, dark sweater from the supplier.

His tingling sensation, which he speaks of just as he did before the Cologne home game two weeks ago, is not intended this time to warn of arrogance against a battered opponent, but to spread anticipation for a match against an overpowering host.

“Games like this are particularly tingling.

I hope that is the case with everyone.

That's why you do everything here, ”says the 38-year-old, beaming in mid-November as if it wouldn't be long before the Christmas Eve gifts.

Werder Bremen works with a mental coach: the head plays an important role against FC Bayern

The last appearance in Munich almost a year ago was more like a nasty mess.

In the end, it was 6: 1 for

on the scoreboard.

"We were 1-0 up until the 43rd minute," said Kohfeldt, recalling a truly memorable game.

Theodor Gebre Selassie injured himself so badly at the 1: 1 match in Munich that he had to get out.

The record champions promptly used this Bremen shock to make it 2-1.

"Then we did what you are never allowed to do against Bayern: We endured it, they are merciless," reports Kohfeldt - and it sounds like a warning.

The head will therefore play a decisive role this Saturday.

So it fits well that mental coach Jörg Löhr worked with the team during the week.

So another special feature this week.

His visit was actually only part of the extensive program during the international break, but Löhr may have already dropped a word or two about the pitfalls of a Bayern game.

Werder Bremen are hoping for a happy ending - but FC Bayern are ready for top performance despite the circumstances

As is so often the case, it's about courage.

does not want to hide against the Champions League winner.

And the Bremen team has definitely succeeded in this in the past.

All other five duels with Bayern under Kohfeldt's direction ended narrowly.

Even in the last catastrophic season, when the relegation-threatened Bremen team almost ruined Bayern’s premature championship three game days before the end and only lost 1-0.

"A draw would have been well deserved,"

and adds with a sigh, looking at his six Bayern defeats: "Unfortunately, we never managed to take this last step, to keep our attention for 90 minutes."

That should change this time.

He is not counting on the fact that

could be weakened by the many games in the legs, by the negative experience with the DFB selection in the 6-0 defeat against Spain or by some injury-related failures.

The triple winner would easily take such circumstances and be ready for a top performance, believes Kohfeldt.

It is up to

to make sure that it is a close match and that it is also worth watching for Werder fans - this time with a happy ending, the first for over eleven years.
