Trainer Florian Kohfeldt expects a "very, very big challenge" on Friday.
The preliminary report of the DeichStube.
Bremen - The requirement is clear and clearly stated to the team: “Take self-confidence with you, but don't show a millimeter less focus and attention!” With this assignment, Florian Kohfeldt, SV
Werder Bremen
coach, sends
his players a week after the convincing 1: 1 at FC Bayern Munich on Friday evening (8.30 p.m.,

from DeichStube) in the away game at
VfL Wolfsburg
, because the 38-year-old knows that it will be “a very, very big challenge for us”.
Werder Bremen: Opponent VfL Wolfsburg in the Bundesliga without defeat
Besides Bayer 04 Leverkusen, Wolfsburg, who are currently sixth in the table with 14 points, are the only team in the league to be unbeaten.
"There are hardly any weaknesses to be recognized in this team," says
Florian Kohfeldt
, praising the pressing, the switching behavior and the "very good individual quality" of the "wolves".
Particular attention from Bremen will be on Wolfsburg's top striker Wout Weghorst.
Kohfeldt: "The one-on-one duel with him is definitely one of the central duels in this game."
On the other hand, the
SV Werder Bremen
coach is of
course aware that his team does not have to hide at the moment - after all, Werder has not lost in seven games.
"We have seen in the last few weeks that when we reach our limit in terms of aggressiveness, attention and courage, it is very uncomfortable to play against us," said Kohfeldt.
That worked wonderfully in the game at Bayern.
Werder Bremen against VfL Wolfsburg: Another 1-1 draw would be a Bundesliga record
Now
the long 1: 1 series in Bremen should finally end
at
VfL Wolfsburg
.
"I'm almost a little embarrassed to be associated with this series," said Kohfeldt, whose team has played 1-1 five times in a row.
If the game in Wolfsburg ends with this result, it would be a new
Bundesliga record
.
"That is definitely not our goal," assured the coach.
He's not expecting a lot of goals and an open exchange of blows in Wolfsburg.
The previous appearances of both teams in the current season would not promise that.
Wolfsburg coach Oliver Glasner made a very similar statement.
"It will be a tough nut to crack," he said before the duel against
Werder Bremen
.
And further: "Not only the respectable success of the Bremen team in Munich shows that they are in a very good mood at the moment." (Dco) Also interesting: You can watch Werder Bremen's Bundesliga match against VfL Wolfsburg live on TV and live -Stream.
