SV Werder Bremen will play their last two test matches of the season preparation against Feyenoord Rotterdam on Saturday, but this cannot be a real dress rehearsal.
The preliminary report of the DeichStube *.
Bremen / Rotterdam - Only two more tests, then everything will be done! The
SV Werder Bremen
denied on Saturday (12.00 and 16.00,
live ticker
of the dyke bar) at
Feyenoord Rotterdam
would carry two games, under normal circumstances, the term "dress rehearsal". The test matches against the traditional Dutch club are ultimately the last chance to prepare for the upcoming second division start on Saturday against Hannover 96. But somehow the dress rehearsal also means that the development phase has been completed and the team has worked out every last detail. But at SV Werder after the relegation and the still not completed change in the squad, there can be no question of that.
Werder Bremen versus Feyenoord Rotterdam: Several players are missing from the friendly matches on Saturday
"For us it is important that we can let almost all the players run for 90 minutes again," says coach
Markus Anfang
. It is completely unimportant who plays in which team, "because we don't know who we actually have available for Hanover". Almost sounds a little frustrated. But the beginning knows about the special situation of his new employer, who has to sell players for financial reasons. Against the fifth in the table in the last season in the Eredivisie,
the goal
is not primarily to find a
starting eleven
, but rather to refine "the processes that we also showed against Zenit", reminiscent of the 2-2 in the
test match
against the Russian champions Zenit St. Petersburg.
His idea: if as many players as possible have internalized his system, short-term departures can be better compensated for.
However, the
SV Werder Bremen
coach has to do
without Eren Dinkci, Nicolai Rapp and Abdenego Nankishi (all muscular problems).
Defender Milos Veljkovic is also missing due to a corona infection.
Nick Woltemade and Jiri Pavlenka are also not in the Werder squad due to back problems.
But there is positive news: European Championship driver Marco Friedl is back and should be available to Werder for at least half-time.
Werder Bremen: First test match against Feyenoord Rotterdam to the exclusion of spectators
Opponent
Feyenoord Rotterdam
was trained by former Bundesliga coach and bond coach Dick Advocaat last season. However, the 73-year-old ended his career two weeks ago. The 42-year-old Arne Slot, who had previously successfully coached AZ Alkmaar and led it to the runner-up in Holland in 2019, took over for him. The star of the Feyenoord team was Steven Berghuis until the end, but the Dutch international moved to Ajax Amsterdam the day before the friendly.
The local authorities in the Netherlands have not allowed any guest fans for the
test matches
between
Feyenoord Rotterdam
and
Werder Bremen
- neither during the afternoon game (4 pm) in the venerable “De Kuip” stadium, nor during the first
test
on the grounds of the Feyenoord Academy. This game at 12 noon even takes place completely closed to the public. However, Werder offers a
live
broadcast
for both games
