The preliminary report of the DeichStube *

Bremen - Now it's going to be massive for

Werder Bremen

: With VfL Wolfsburg, the Bundesliga team with the greatest physicality will come to the Weserstadion on Saturday.

And that is not only due to the storm giant Wout Weghorst with his height of 1.97 meters.

Werder coach Florian Kohfeldt also warns against this Wolfsburg weapon, but after the many very defensive appearances in the current season he promises: “Our approach will not just be to defend, but we also want to do something with the ball. "

Can Werder Bremen hold their own against the force of VfL Wolfsburg?

A spectacle like the 3: 5 bankruptcy in the first leg is not in mind, he has not even watched the game.

“It wasn't a good game from us,” he explains.

In addition, both teams have developed further, comparisons would not make any sense.

The 38-year-old prefers to keep an eye on the current situation and on an opponent who is in top form and who is third in the table dreaming of the Champions League.

The big question is: can

SV Werder Bremen

hold

their own

against the Wolfsburg force?

“It will be very difficult,” believes Kohfeldt.

It is not for nothing that Wolfsburg is "the team with the most sprints in the league, which is extremely robust and is very tall in many positions".

Strictly speaking, the Wolfsburg starting eleven measured an average of 1.87 meters in the 5-0 win against Schalke 04 last weekend.

But the 38-year-old has long since come up with a plan that he is at least partially revealing.


Werder Bremen: Against VfL Wolfsburg "aggressive in the duels and not let them crush"

Basically, he expects his team to be “willing to oppose this physicality, to be aggressive in the duels and not to allow themselves to be crushed”.

With the ball, his team needs one thing above all else: “A very good mix.

We need good ball circulation to get them going so that they don't even get to show their tackle strength.

We have to manage to let their game, which is designed for strong pressing and great physicality, run into nothing. "


So that this can succeed, the Bremen head coach even seems to be ready to say goodbye to the defensive style of play, which is so unattractive this season, but which is continuously earning points.

“I don't expect a game that will be characterized by mutual probing.

It will be a fast-paced game with a lot of physicality that also produces a certain number of chances to score, ”said the

SV Werder Bremen

coach

.

In view of the strong opponent who, together with RB Leipzig, has the best defense in the league (only 21 goals conceded) and has only lost three games (also top of the league), “it would also be extremely negligent to play with a completely open visor. "

Werder Bremen want to avoid relegation as soon as possible

Because one thing is clear: Bremen’s top priority remains to reach the league as quickly as possible.

With 30 points,

Werder Bremen are in a

very good position, with nine game days to go, they have an impressive nine points ahead of the relegation zone.

But Kohfeldt does not want to hear about the premature relegation: “We only accept congratulations when we have 40 points.

We want to reach this mark as quickly as possible.

We will do everything for that.

As long as that is not the case, we will be extremely vigilant. ”Also against

VfL Wolfsburg
