SV Werder Bremen won the DFB Cup round of 16 playfully against second division team Greuther Fürth - and they want to bring that into the league.
The follow-up report of the DeichStube *.
Bremen - Florian Kohfeldt is never really satisfied.
But after the sovereign 2-0 success in the
DFB Cup
eighth final against
Greuther Fürth
, the
SV Werder Bremen
coach stopped
paused for a moment and then noted with relish: “It's really rare in the life of a football coach.
Pretty much went in a good direction today.
The boys made it strong and we managed to manage the stress well. ”Ömer Toprak and Leonardo Bittencourt were able to heal their wounds on the bench and were not needed in an emergency.
It did not occur because the team continued their learning process and incidentally also gave the club a nice cup bonus of one million euros.
Now Kohfeldt hopes that the game progress can be seen more consistently in the Bundesliga.
"We have shown today that we are much more capable of relying on automatisms and asserting ourselves playfully when the individual quality of the opponent drops a little," said Kohfeldt and looked back briefly: "It was like that in every cup game, that was like that in the test matches - and that is also
becoming more and more common
in the
Bundesliga
- see the second half against Augsburg or the second half against Schalke.
That's why I'm satisfied with the overall development. ”The phase in which
Werder Bremen
relied primarily on defensive stability after the almost relegation could end slowly.
Kohfeldt is turning more and more the famous cog for the balance between defensive and offensive.
Against
Greuther Fürth
, he made that very clear before the game.
His players immediately went on the hunt, hardly giving the opponent any peace.
"It was very important that we entered the game with this attitude, that can unsettle sub-class opponents," said sports director Frank Baumann.
Werder Bremen: Learning process for the young players - only Romano Schmid was allowed to play again from the beginning
Incidentally, that had been the plan a few days earlier.
But against the bottom of the table from Schalke, many
SV Werder Bremen
players
, especially the young ones, did not reach their limit, started pondering - and then no longer cope with the opponent's still high individual class.
Kohfeldt reacted during the break, taking the trio
Romano Schmid
,
Felix Agu
and
Manuel Mbom
down.
Things went much better after that.
Only Schmid was allowed to play against Fürth again from the start - and did a pretty good job.
Just like Agu later, who even made it 2-0 as a joker.
Mbom also got some working time.
And Kohfeldt was happy: "It was really important how they reported back." Mental coach Jörg Löhr used a well-known motto when working with the team and created an important guideline, according to Kohfeldt: "You can fall, but always have to get up again - and as quickly as possible. "
Werder Bremen's poor exploitation of chances against Greuther Fürth: "Should have scored many more goals"
But not only the mental coach apparently had a share in the positive development, but also a certain Viktor Skripnik.
“The clear message was: Don't let yourself be pulled down!
A very good trainer, from whom I learned a lot, once said: Chest out, but not nose up ”,
Florian Kohfeldt
reminded his former boss.
Now he has the say himself and emphasizes the good atmosphere in the team.
With all the ambition, the players would always help each other.
Nobody would like to sit on the bench, said the
SV Werder Bremen
coach
, but everyone respects their own role - and is fully there when they are needed.
For example, captain Niklas Moisander, who
organized the defense
against
Greuther Fürth
for the ailing Toprak.
With the Finn on the field,
Werder Bremen
have not conceded a goal in three games this cup season.
"Niklas does it outstandingly", praised Kohfeldt the 35-year-old.
But it wasn't entirely without criticism.
Kohfeldt didn't like the exploitation of chances at all.
After the early lead by Kevin Möhwald (12th) Werder had to wait a long time before Agu (73rd) made everything clear.
“We should have scored a lot more goals,” said Kohfeldt, but took the chance death
Josh Sargent
under protection: “That will come.
We often forget, including myself, how young Josh is, because he's been with us for so long. ”The learning process at Werder is far from over.

To the last message from February 2, 2021:
And again in the DFB Cup quarter-finals: Möhwald and Agu let Werder Bremen cheer against Greuther Fürth
Bremen - In the
DFB Cup, the
following applies immediately: Bremen is right four times.
The
Werder Bremen
on Tuesday evening by a deserved 2: win over the second division: 0 (0 1)
Greuther Fürth
drafted for the fourth consecutive quarter-finals.
This is not only very remarkable in terms of sport, but also flushes a million euros into the green-whites' cash register, which is pretty empty in Corona times.
Kevin Möhwald (12th) and Felix Agu (73rd), who had recently been substituted on, scored the goals for the job win against fourth place in the second division.
The quarter-finals will take place on March 2nd and 3rd.
The draw is on Sunday in the ARD sports show (6.30 p.m.).
As expected,
Werder coach
Florian Kohfeldt ordered
his ailing top central defender Ömer Toprak to take a break on the bench and set up captain Niklas Moisander.
Of the three young savages who were substituted at the break against Schalke, only Romano Schmid made it into the starting line-up.
Manuel Mbom and Felix Agu sat outside, Kevin Möhwald and Ludwig Augustinsson played for them.
And for the first time since his thigh injury at the end of November, Milot Rashica was allowed to storm from the beginning, the ailing Leonardo Bittencourt initially just watched.
Werder Bremen against Greuther Fürth: Kevin Möhwald takes the lead
Rashica was immediately the focus, because the Fürth attacked him so hard, as if they wanted to take away the fun of the cup game.
But they didn't succeed because
everything went according to plan pretty quickly
for
Werder Bremen
.
Kevin Möhwald made it
1-0 after just twelve minutes after Fürth's keeper Sascha Burchert had fended off a header from Milos Veljkovic after an Augustinsson corner.
And much more would have been possible for Bremen very quickly: First Josh Sargent left a one hundred percent chance with a slightly warped lob (16), then Burchert steered an Augustinsson shot with his shoulder to the post (18). ).
Schmid had prepared brilliantly both times.
Greuther Fürth
staggered like a battered boxer through the empty Weser Stadium.
Werder could have grabbed even more decisively to make the preliminary decision.
To do this, Kohfeldt consistently tidied up the edge of the field, with an angry look removed an outside microphone that had previously transmitted almost all of the coach's instructions into the living room.
Apparently, Kohfeldt had been given a hint.
Werder Bremen against Greuther Fürth: Werder missed the decision before the break
Not so much happened on the field.
Fürth gained the upper hand a little, but did not get any real scoring chance, even though Moisander and Co. did not always look confident.
But that was enough against harmless guests.
It was annoying that
Werder Bremen
acted too incorrectly in the forward gear and kept losing the ball, especially Sargent and Rashica did not look happy.
After the break, Augustinsson could have brought clarity immediately, but brought too little pressure behind his header (51.).
That fit the Bremen game, the final determination and also accuracy on the offensive was missing.
So the people from Fürth stayed in the game and now had really good chances themselves.
The ex-Bremen Anton Stach carried the ball completely free after a corner by bouncing over the goal (55th), Sebastian Ernst even aimed past the housing from an even shorter distance (60th).
Luck for Werder!
Werder Bremen against Greuther Fürth: Felix Agu scores the 2-0 final score
Kohfeldt reacted and brought two fresh forces for Rashica and Augustinsson, who were understandably exhausted after their injury breaks: Yuya Osako and Felix Agu (70th).
And that paid off promptly.
Felix Agu
carried a fine Sargent cross with his left knee to make it 2-0 into the net (73rd).
The jubilation in Bremen was initially limited because the video referee intervened, but the suspicion was not confirmed.
Werder Bremen
wasn't
through
with that,
Greuther Fürth
fought back as much as possible -
but so did
Jiri Pavlenka, the Bremen goalkeeper reacted brilliantly to a shot by Robin Kehr (85th).
With the courage of desperation, the second division team brought the hosts a bit into the swim.
But it stayed at 2-0.
Also in the third round Werder had not conceded a goal.
Bremen can now confidently concentrate on the next Bundesliga game on Sunday at Arminia Bielefeld.

10:38 p.m.:
Final whistle!
Now it is done.
For the fourth time in a row Werder Bremen made it into the quarter-finals.
At no time was victory really in danger today.
With the early lead by Kevin Möhwald (12th minute), Bremen put themselves in a good starting position.
In the second round, the green-whites finally only did as much as they had to.
In the 73rd minute, Agu finally punished the inadequacies of Fürth.

81st min:
Next double change with the guests.
Ernst and Seguin go.
Kehr and Tillmann come into the match and should help with the possible miracle.
80th Min:
The last ten minutes of the official game time are running.
78th Min:
At the moment, there is nothing to suggest that the game association still scores a goal.
But as we know: anything is possible in the cup.
77th Min:
Is the lead enough for the Bremen team or will the guests from Fürth come back?
DFB Cup - Werder Bremen against Greuther Fürth in the live ticker: Felix Agu scores 2-0
73.Min: Gooooor for Werder! Schmid is not attacked properly, plays in depth to Sargent. The American raises his head briefly at the baseline, sees Agu waiting in the middle and crosses. Agu, on the other hand, only has to hold his knee and hits the 2.0!
70.Min
:
Kohfeldt brings Agu for Augustinsson and Osako for Rashica.
70th Min:
Double change in both teams: In Fürth against Nielsen and Hrgota.
Abiama and Leweling arrive.
68.Min:
Werder is just playing too badly!
Eggestein sprints forward with the ball and puts the Rashica in the limelight.
The winger wants the pass across to Sargent, who is lurking at the second post - but before that, the ball is skimmed off.
Here, too, there was much more to it.
66th Min:
Again a free kick for the home side from the half field.
Sargent is just offside.
65.Min:
Fürth's game is anything but error-free here - it is now important for Werder to use those mistakes and go for the next goal.
62nd min:
On the other side, Sargent leaves the preliminary decision!
Möhwald goes very strong through the midfield and cleverly puts the ball through to his striker.
Sargent doesn't hesitate and pulls away, but Stach gets his leg in between and fakes the ball and decides for a corner.
60th min:
Seriously with the huge chance to equalize!
Nielsen is sent down, pulls into the penalty area and finds serious.
However, the Fürth does not hit the ball at all and pushes miserably next to the box.
There was definitely more to it.
55.Min
:
Green crosses a corner into the back of the penalty area - three Bremer sail under the ball until Stach tries a dropkick and shoots the ball just over the bar.
53rd Min:
Werder gives the guests more freedom, which so far has little to do with the opportunities that arise.
51st Min:
Good opportunity for Augustinsson!
Möhwald crosses on the far post and finds Augustinsson standing completely blank.
The Swede heads to the short corner, where Burchert is waiting and safely gripping.
49.Min:
Fürth shows itself to be very toxic in the duels in the first few minutes of the second half.
46.Min:
Schmid asserts himself very strongly against his opponent and pulls the line along.
With his instep he tries to serve Sargent, who is waiting in the middle - Bauer is careful and clears the corner, which doesn’t bring anything.

46th Min:
Kick-off in half time number two.
9.41 p.m
.: In the two previous games of the day, a sensation should of course not be missing.
In extra time, RW Essen prevailed 2-1 against Bayer Leverkusen and threw the big favorite out of the competition.
In addition, Holstein Kiel won 7: 6 on penalties against Darmstadt and celebrated the move into the next round.
9:37 p.m.:
Let's take a look at the other game
tonight
:
Borussia Dortmund 2-0 SC Paderborn
9:32 p.m.:
After a start marked by duels, the Bremen team took over the trade and rewarded themselves after a corner with the 1-0 lead by Möhwald (12th minute).
As a result, the green-whites got better and better into the match and could have added through Sargent (16th minute) and Augustinsson (19th minute).
Far too little came from the game association from Fürth.
If the guests do not increase significantly in the second round, Florian Kohfeldt's team should not face any major problems.
45. + 1 min:
Nothing happens here anymore.
With a 1-0 lead, it goes into the break.
45.Min:
There is a second look-up in round number one.
43rd Min:
Luck for Burchert.
After a long ball into the top, Rashica tries to process the ball, Burchert storms out of the penalty area and can just clear the play equipment for a throw-in.
42nd min:
Werder seems to be quite satisfied with the 1-0 lead and the guests shouldn't complain about the narrow deficit after the green-whites' attack.
39.Min:
Stach is late in the duel against Sargent and sees the next yellow.
38th Min:
First good attack by Fürth.
The ball lands on the left wing at Hrgota on the second post.
The captain tries to put the play equipment in the back area, but Werder's defensive line pays attention and clears.
36.Min:
Fürth registers the events of course and pushes their pressing row a little further forward.
Werder still plays it safely out of their own danger area.
33rd Min:
Werder is currently doing very little for the game.
31.Min: A
lot is currently happening in the half field.
Werder's attack has subsided in the last few minutes, Fürth hardly takes place offensively.
29.Min
: For the first time it is a little dangerous in the Bremen penalty area.
Space brings a good flank into the danger area, but Moisander is careful and clears with his head.
27.Min:
The guests from Fürth don't get a leg on the lawn.
What looked pretty good in the first five minutes is now completely missing.
24.Min:
Werder is the better team here.
This time it is Rashica who tries his luck from a distance.
His shot attempt lands quite clearly above the crossbar.
22.Min:
Fürths Bauer sees the yellow card for getting in too hard.
19.Min:
Another good opportunity for the green-whites!
Again it is Schmid who sends Augustinsson down this time.
Augustinsson thrashes the ball onto the box from an acute angle - Burchert shrugs his shoulder and happily steers the ball towards the post.
16.Min:
What is Sargent doing there ?!
Schmid lifts the ball softly into the penalty area on Sargent.
The American plucks the ball nicely out of the air, only to put it pitifully next to the box with a lob.
Burchert would have had no chance.
That should have been 2-0!
13.Min:
Good start for Bremen.
With the lead in the back, it should be easier to play into the top.
DFB-Pokal - Werder Bremen against Greuther Fürth in the live ticker: Kevin Möhwald takes the lead!
12.Min :
Toooooooooor for Werder!
And that's when it happened.
The corner that is due lands at Veljkovic, who checks Burchert with his head.
The Fürth can only clear at the feet of Möhwald, who only has to push in.
1: 0 for Werder!
11.Min:
Werder has problems with Fürth's pressing.
But suddenly things move forward very quickly.
Rashica picks up the pace on the grand piano, plays in the back room to Schmid, who wants to put his heel down on Sargent again.
The variant ends in the corner
9 min:
Already, the mission of Greuther Furth is clear: Guests want abluchsen the ball early Werder and then quickly counter.
Werder is paying attention so far and is very safe.
6. Min:
So far we are looking in vain for an orderly game structure.
Werder tries to keep quiet, but is disturbed too quickly by the guests.
4. Min:
First standard for the shamrock.
Seguin brings the ball into the penalty area, where Pavlenka is already waiting and securing the play equipment.
2. Min:
Fast ball losses, many tackles: In the first few seconds, the teams don't give each other an inch.
DFB Cup - Werder Bremen against Greuther Fürth in the live ticker: kick-off!
1. Min:
Floodlights in the Weser Stadium - time for the kick-off!
Today's match begins with the home side.
8:38 p.m.:
In the DFB Cup, there has been a duel between today's opponents so far.
Back then, in 2004, Werder was able to prevail with a last-minute double pack and celebrate the move into the next round.
8:32 p.m.:
With a victory, Florian Kohfeldt's men would secure a bonus of one million euros - a warm and, above all, welcome blessing in Corona times.
8:25 p.m.:
The green-whites don't necessarily have to make it that exciting today.
8:21 p.m.:
How did it go in the previous DFB Cup games today?
There is no winner after 90 minutes.
Because Leverkusen did not manage to score a goal, it goes 0-0 into overtime.
At Holstein Kiel and Darmstadt there is also a reference.
Here it is 1: 1 after 90 minutes.
8:13 p.m.:
We still have enough time to devote ourselves to the impartial of today's game.
The referee is Guido Winkmann, his assistants are Christian Bandurski and Arno Blos.
The fourth official is Florian Heft.
Sven Waschitzki and Markus Sinn take a seat in the VAR basement.
8:05 p.m.:
But not only the individual class of the players can be decisive for success or failure today.
Maybe it's just the current stress.
While Werder drew 1-1 at Schalke 04 at the weekend, SpVgg Greuther Fürth has an English week in their legs.
During the week, today's guests prevailed 1-0 against Osnabrück and scored the next three against Erzgebirge Aue (3-0).
Accordingly, the question arises: How big is the battery in the Fürth?
7:59 p.m.:
Werder is not that high up in Germany's Belle Etage.
With a solid 22 points, the green-whites are in 11th place in the table.
7:53 p.m.:
If Bremen should make it to the next round today, they would have made it to the quarter-finals for the fourth time in a row.
A series that is definitely worth seeing.
Accordingly, Coach Kohfeldt's team is the clear favorite.
But the hosts shouldn't underestimate the guests from Fürth.
After all, the second division ranks 4th (35 points) in the lower class and is only one point behind the ranks 2 and 3.
7.50 p.m.:
What can we expect in the cup today?
So far it has been very relaxed for the home side.
Pavlenka didn't even have to reach behind her.
There was a 2-0 win against fourth division club Carl-Zeiss Jena, followed by a 3-0 win at Hannover 96. The zero can still stand today.
7.48 p.m.: Take a seat
on the green and white bench: Dos Santos, Osako, Bittencourt, Agu, Toprak, Gruev, Mbom, Woltemade and Dinkci.

This is how Florian Kohfeldt plays today: Pavlenka - Friedl, Moisander Veljkovic - Augustinsson, Möhwald, Gebre Selassie - Rashica, Eggestein, Schmid - Sargent.
There are three changes in total at Werder.

The DFB Cup preliminary report on Werder Bremen against Greuther Fürth:
It's about the money: Werder Bremen want the fourth DFB Cup quarter-finals in a row against Greuther Fürth
The goal is clearly defined: to make it to the
DFB Cup
quarter
-finals
.
On the way there,
SV Werder Bremen will have to
clear
SpVgg Greuther Fürth
on Tuesday evening (8.45 p.m.) in Bremen's Weserstadion
.
The preliminary report of the DeichStube *.
Bremen - On
Tuesday evening,
SV Werder Bremen will make it
into the
DFB Cup quarter-finals for
the fourth time in a row
- and again under the direction of
Florian Kohfeldt
.
Just a coincidence?
“I have a high cup bonus, so I'm always particularly motivated,” says the trainer and grins.
Especially before cup games, Kohfeldt likes to make jokes like this because he enjoys the competition so much.
But that doesn't mean that he
wouldn't take
the round of 16 against second division
Greuther Fürth
(Tuesday, 8.45 p.m.) seriously enough.
On the contrary!
Kohfeldt absolutely wants to continue his series, out of sporting ambition and for financial reasons.
It's not about him, but about the club.
Werder Bremen warned against Greuther Fürth in the DFB Cup: "A first division team can always stumble"
The winner of the game in the Weser Stadium collects one million euros - and sports director
Frank Baumann
admits in view of the difficult Corona period: "That would help us financially." Especially since even higher income would then be possible in the next rounds.
But Baumann knows from his own experience how uncomfortable
Greuther Fürth
can be.
He was on the field himself in February 2004 when the big favorite
Werder Bremen
saved
themselves
3-2 against the second division side in the semi-finals of the
DFB Cup
with two goals in stoppage time
.
"That should be enough warning that a first division team can always stumble," said Baumann.
Werder Bremen against Greuther Fürth in the DFB Cup: It's also about the money!
Especially since
Greuther Fürth is
a really good second division team who can dream of promotion as fourth in the table.
“I absolutely trust them,” says Kohfeldt about the opponent, whom he certifies as having a “courageous football”: “It will be a great challenge for us.
But we are the Bundesliga team.
Despite the bad first half against Schalke, we are in good shape.
We're the favorites. ”The team will express that with their body language and the way they play.
Kohfeldt spoke again with the young, but weak against Schalke savages like Manuel Mbom, Felix Agu and Romano Schmid.
Be mentally ready.
The
SV Werder Bremen
coach
did not
reveal whether he would leave them in the starting line-up against Greuther Fürth
.

And: Fürth professional Anton Stach in an interview: "Florian Kohfeldt gave me a lot of important things".
