From tendencies and partial successes: With a win in Nuremberg Werder would like to finally take another step forward

Werder Bremen will play on the 13th matchday of the 2. Bundesliga on Friday (6.30 p.m.) at 1. FC Nürnberg and finally want to take another step forward.

The preliminary report of the DeichStube *.

Bremen -

had already spoken a lot up there on the podium, when asked about the Bremen personnel situation before the away game at

or classified the opponent's strengths. Shortly before the end of the press conference, the

coach said

one more sentence, which his neighbor Clemens Fritz immediately met with silent approval, expressed by a subtle nod of the head. The initial sentence was: “It is a reconstruction that, of course, also needs a sense of achievement at the end of the day.” And it led right into the problem that Werder is still facing in autumn 2021. Because it is precisely this sense of achievement that is lacking.

Werder's last win in the

is now a good four weeks ago, which is why they are trying to get that good feeling elsewhere in Bremen so that the trend-setting turnaround succeeds as possible on Friday evening in Nuremberg, during the last game before the international break.

Werder Bremen finally want to take another step forward against 1. FC Nürnberg

Immediately after the most recent 1-1 draw against front-runner St. Pauli, the beginning campaigned for a positive classification of the game, calling it the “next step in this reconstruction”, which was quite legitimate given the decent performance in Bremen. The table helped correctly, but the game didn't even set an example.

is tenth, nine teams in front and eight teams behind, still the center of the gray mediocrity - and with every game not won, the hope of the environment fades further, in the first season after relegation maybe a word in the fight for to be able to have a say in the advancement.

The beginning never formulated this goal publicly, but always rhetorically carefully placed the reconstruction before the promotion and stressed at every opportunity not to look at the table - but the coach now also says: “Of course we wish we had more points . “Since the 3-0 home win against Heidenheim has not existed since October 1, but no longer in triplicate, there are currently (inevitably) tendencies and partial successes that support said reconstruction.

Before a guest appearance at 1. FC Nürnberg: Markus Anfang is convinced that he is on the right track with Werder Bremen

“We are in the process of stabilizing ourselves a bit,” says Anfang, whose team did not lose two times in a row after the indisputable 3-0 defeat in Darmstadt. Whereby the late 2: 2 in Sandhausen (despite the goal premiere celebrated by Füllkrugs) in its entirety is much less of an encouragement than the draw against St. Pauli. Of course, beginning also knows that in Sandhausen, the morale of his team in the final phase had fallen. Another tendency, such a partial success. Before the guest

appearance

at

, he now demands: "Of course we want to improve now."

To imagine that this will be anything but easy, just take a look at the current Nuremberg numbers. The team of coach Robert Klauss is fifth, has 21 points and only suffered one defeat in the league. With only nine goals conceded, the club also provides the best defense in the lower house. "It is very difficult to score goals against them because they defend in a disciplined and orderly manner and immediately go into counter-pressing after losing the ball," says

and garnished the whole thing with the note that it was his team that allowed the least shots on goal and gave the most in the league.

Which is undoubtedly a good trend, a partial success.

However, nothing changes "that it is unfortunately not reflected in the points".

Not yet.

Because the beginning is convinced that they are

on the right track

with

.

At Werder Bremen, the experienced players are gradually returning before the Nuremberg game

Gradually, very gradually, after Leonardo Bittencourt, Christian Groß and Ömer Toprak are also returning from long injury breaks, which gives the coach the hope that “we may soon have an axis with a certain amount of experience on the field and be able to field young players around it”. Because of course that is also part of the truth of this complicated season in Bremen: on no matchday so far has the beginning of his team, the members of the team council, been able to jointly appoint the members of the squad. That this scenario is finally getting closer - right! - a good tendency, a partial success that can consolidate the team and provide points.

Should

actually succeed in their fifth win of the season

at the

on Friday evening

(which would also mean Nuremberg's third competitive defeat in a row), then that would be

an important, really important step

for

and his team.

He would make sure that Werder does not let the connection with the leading group tear off prematurely.

And of course for turning many tendencies and partial successes into a real triumph.
