Werder Bremen against VfB Stuttgart in the live ticker: Niclas Füllkrug's progress as a big advantage?
Bremen - International breaks in football have a rather modest reputation at the moment.
Traveling in the middle of the corona pandemic, additional stress for the national team and less training with the team at the club.
For
SV Werder Bremen
, the interruption before the Bundesliga game at
VfB Stuttgart
on Sunday (3:30 p.m.,
live ticker
from DeichStube *) also had a not entirely unimportant advantage.
Florian Kohfeldt
had more time.
The
SV Werder Bremen
coach was
able to take care of the big construction site that the green and whites have been busy with all season - playing and exploiting chances to score.
“We put two blocks on how we can get more depth into our game,” says Kohfeldt.
And he was able to train with a man who
may be particularly important
for the Bundesliga game at
VfB Stuttgart
-
Niclas Füllkrug
.
Werder Bremen in the live ticker at VfB Stuttgart: Will Niclas Füllkrug become the decisive factor for coach Florian Kohfeldt?
Because Josh Sargent
is missing
the fixed point in the offensive against
VfB Stuttgart
, Kohfeldt has to reschedule.
Of
course, the coach won't reveal who he wants to put
in the starting line-up of
SV Werder Bremen
instead of the US national player
.
The selection should be limited to
Niclas Füllkrug
and Davie Selke.
The fact that the choice will ultimately fall on Füllkrug can be heard a bit: “In the end, he has to play now,” says
Florian Kohfeldt
about the 28-year-old center forward.
"That gives him the toughness of the competition." Something was missing in the end.
After a good start to the season including a three-pack against Schalke 04, the season for Füllkrug has so far been made up of two alternating phases.
Phase 1: Injury.
Phase 2: Fighting Up.
Due to a calf injury and ankle problems, Füllkrug had been out for two weeks.
Since then, he has only made one starting XI and one goal.
Most recently, Füllkrug was mostly only second choice because Sargent had found his nose for goal with three goals from the last five games.
With Sargent's ban,
Niclas Füllkrug will
now have another chance to get stuck.
The coach sees him ready for this in any case.
“The international break with all of the training was really good for 'Abundance',” says Kohfeldt.
"I think we're in very good physical shape with him now."
That
would be good
for
Werder Bremen
, because
relegation is
not yet certain.
Before the games against the big chunks RB Leipzig and Borussia Dortmund, a success against
VfB Stuttgart
on Sunday would be pretty important.
Florian Kohfeldt
, however, does not see any increased importance in the game.
“If we win, we're not through.
And if we lose, there is no dramatic situation. ”As twelfth in the table with 30 points, Bremen are still seven points ahead of the relegation place.
But Kohfeldt warns: “We just have to win games.
And it doesn't really matter whether you are through with the math or not. "
Werder Bremen against VfB Stuttgart: Swabians with bad luck with injuries - Florian Kohfeldt senses an opportunity
A fit and fresh
Niclas Füllkrug
should help and is possibly exactly what
VfB Stuttgart
could be missing against Werder.
In Nicolas Gonzalez (six goals this season, torn hamstring) and Silas Wamangituka (eleven goals, torn cruciate ligament), the two-goal Werder scare in the 2-1 victory of the Swabians in the first half of the season, VfB are missing two enormously important attackers.
“That hurts them, that's what the people of Stuttgart say themselves,” says Kohfeldt.
"But still the variability and breadth of their squad is so great that they
can play their offensive football
around
Sasa Kalajdzic
." But Kalajdzic is still a case in itself.
The striker's discovery of the season has already scored 13 goals and scored eight times in the last eight Bundesliga games.
He alone can endanger the Werder defense.
However, he has been on an exhausting international trip with three appearances (and three goals) for Austria.
The 23-year-old should at least have heavy legs.
Maybe another small advantage for
Werder Bremen
from the international phase.
