SV Werder Bremen deservedly won the second division game on matchday 19 against Fortuna Düsseldorf 3-0.

The game report of the DeichStube*.

Bremen – Thanks to their strike duo Marvin Ducksch and Niclas Füllkrug,

Werder Bremen

had a great start to the new year. At the restart of the 2nd division, the Bundesliga relegated team won 3-0 (0-0) against

Fortuna Düsseldorf

in front of a ghostly backdrop in the Weser Stadium and celebrated in the fourth game under the new coach

Ole Werner

the fourth win.

This put Bremen in third place in the table at least until Sunday afternoon - for the first time this season, Werder are in one of the three promotion ranks.

The Tor twins made it possible.

Füllkrug with a brace (73'/87') and Ducksch with a goal (80') and assists for the other two goals decided a game that only turned green after a red card for Kristoffer Peterson from Düsseldorf (57'). -white direction inclined.

As if the short winter break hadn't happened,

SV Werder Bremen started

into the new year – at least regarding the starting eleven. Because although the main formation was plagued by a few Corona cases during the preparation, Coach Werner was able to send the starting eleven onto the field that had also started with the three victories before Christmas. So the best team in Bremen, who initially converted the good personnel requirements into a clear superiority. With strong, successful pressing, the seventh placed the league 14. always under pressure, conquered a lot of balls in midfield and clearly determined the initial phase. However: in front of Fortuna's goal, in which Florian Kastenmeier was again preferred to ex-Bremen Raphael Wolf, Werder lacked the callousness and consistency of the previous games. Why there was a premiere to report at the break:For the first time since Werner took command in Bremen, the team failed to score in a half.

Werder Bremen against Fortuna Düsseldorf: No goals before the break

The hosts could have prevented this several times.

Niclas Füllkrug

with a header (9'), Leonardo Bittencourt following a corner (15'), Füllkrug again on a counterattack (17') and

Marvin Ducksch

after one of the numerous quick ball wins (20') each had opportunities, Werder early to be able to lead.

The Düsseldorfers didn't get a leg on the ground for a long time, hardly took place forward.

But: They gradually fought their way into the game - best seen in the duels between the striker Rouwen Hennings and

Werder Bremen

Defense chief Ömer Toprak delivered.

The fact that Fortune hit the Werder captain's ankle violently after eleven minutes was unfortunate and, to Toprak's relief, had no further consequences than a torn socks.

But after that, referee Tobias Reichel (36/Stuttgart) called on the plan at his Weser Stadium premiere, a clear warning to Hennings: Not anymore!

The more poisonous the opponent became, the more Werder lost their own line.

After the strong start, your own game flattened out.

Consequence: no further chance until the change of sides.

Werder Bremen against Fortuna Düsseldorf: violent foul on Felix Agu - smooth red for Kristoffer Peterson

Klaus Allofs, manager of the Werder double in 2004 and the following successful Champions League years, must have been quite satisfied with the interim result in the almost deserted grandstand. After internal restructuring in the past few days, the 65-year-old is the strong man in the sporting leadership at

Fortuna Düsseldorf

and has formulated the goal for his club and his team: to stabilize first. The interim judgment "successful" was still valid after 57 minutes of play. Fortuna was harmless offensively, but kept

Werder Bremen

away from their own goal better and better.

But then Kristoffer Peterson put the Düsseldorf statics in danger.

With a tackle, for which the term "blood slide" was invented in football, the Swede mowed Felix Agu on the sidelines - and referee Reichel, who had not drawn a single card up to that point, sent Peterson off with a red card (57th minute). .).

Werder Bremen against Fortuna Düsseldorf: Niclas Füllkrug and Marvin Ducksch shoot out a big win

From then on, Werder Bremen

acted in the majority and took full advantage of this gift. Because just nine minutes later it was 1-0. Ducksch had flanked on a filling jug, header, goal. Although the linesman initially ruled offside, the video evidence showed:

Fortuna Düsseldorf

's Tim Oberdorf had canceled the offside against Füllkrug and thus made the striker's sixth goal of the season possible. The millimeters that spoke for Bremen in this case were missing Ducksch a little later after a pass from Romano Schmid – offside (73rd). The already acclaimed 2-0 didn't count and Werder wasn't sure with the narrow lead, the last doubts remained.

Until

Marvin Ducksch

then eliminated the same.

Werder Bremen

quickly and safely

put the ball through on the right flank, and in the end substitute Niklas Schmidt got through to Ducksch in the penalty area, who scored from eleven meters (80'). 2:0, cap on, the highly praised Bremen strike duo had decided a long open game. As an encore, there was still the 3:0, of course again after a cooperation of the two goal scorers: cross pass Marvin Ducksch, goal

Niclas Füllkrug

- this duo is the great hope for the new table third from Bremen in the promotion race. (csa) Read also: Ole Werner: "We got the best out of the game" - The voices on the victory of SV Werder Bremen against Fortuna Düsseldorf!

No danger.

15 min:

Almost 1-0 for Werder!

After a Ducksch corner, Düsseldorf does not get the ball out of the penalty area.

Since a Düsseldorfer was still in between, there is a corner kick again.

In return, Hennings Weder captain Toprak unhappily steps on his foot, but Toprak can continue playing after a short break.

Good chance for a filling jug!

Jung crossed into the penalty area from the left, but was disturbed by Gavory at the header and the ball missed the goal.

1. Min:

Werder in green initially has the east curve in the back, which the Düsseldorfers, who play all in red, run into in the first 45 minutes.

Werder Bremen against Fortuna Düsseldorf in the live ticker: The game is on

1. Min: Referee Reichel releases the game!

1:28 p.m .:

The teams enter the orphaned Weser Stadium!

1:21 p.m .:

Coach Ole Werner emphasizes the good cooperation with Frank Baumann.

1:19 p.m .:

The recommended Frank Baumann says that Werder “always confidently goes into the game” and wants to take the momentum from the last few games and the good preparation for the season into the game.

1:13 p.m .:

Klaus Allofs, Werder legend and now on the board of Fortuna Düsseldorf, explains on the Sky microphone that he is happy about the business trip to Bremen.

About Frank Baumann he says that you "know what you have in Frank" and that he doesn't have to write a letter of recommendation to SV Werder.

1:06 p.m .:

At the last game in 2021, Werder lost 2-0 to Union Berlin at home.

In the previous year, 2020, however, they managed a 1-0 away win - against today's opponent Fortuna Düsseldorf.

If that's not a good omen.

The last Werder home win at the start of the year, however, was a few years ago: It was a 2-0 win against Hertha BSC.

1:00 p.m .:

Normally we would now say that the stadium is already filling up.

But due to the corona pandemic and the omicron wave, the game will unfortunately take place today without spectators.

Werder can be sure of the support of the fans – but not in the stadium.

12:52:

And they shouldn't go unmentioned either: the team of referees for today's game. Tobias Reichel holds the ultimate decision-making authority. He is assisted on the sidelines by Christian Bandurski and Marc-Philip Eckermann, fourth official is Florian Exner. Thorben Siewer and Philipp Hüwe from Cologne have a closer eye on the game.

12.46 p.m .:

If the men with the diamond on their jerseys continue to build on their positive balance and win today, coach Ole Werner would overtake Thomas Schaaf with his fourth win in four games.

He also had a very good start in the 1998/99 season with three victories after taking over.

Otto Rehagel made the best start: King Otto won eight times after taking office in the second division season 1980/81, and in the end he was promoted to the Bundesliga.

So there is still a long way to go for Werner ....

12.41 p.m .:

The overall balance in direct duels between the two traditional clubs also looks positive from Werder’s point of view: Green-White won 24 of 53 games, lost 17 times, twelve games ended in a draw.

12:38 p.m .:

The last encounter between the two teams dates from the first half of the season when Werder won 3-2 in Düsseldorf.

After a turbulent stoppage time with a late goal conceded to make it 2-2 and an even later winning goal by Füllkrug, Bremen took all three points back to the Weser.

Josh Sargent scored the other two Werder goals.

12:32 p.m .:

The guests from Düsseldorf start with this staff: Kastenmeier – Zimmermann, Klarer, Oberdorf, Gavory – Narey, Appelkamp, ​​Tanaka, Peterson – Hennings, Piotrowski.

Possible alternatives would be Wolf (ET), Hartherz, Siebert, Pledl, Prib, Sobottka, Bozenik, Kownacki, Shipnoski.

12.30 p.m .:

The first places on the bench are: Zetterer (ET), Weiser, Schönfelder, Schmidt, Rapp, Mai, Gruev, Mbom and Dinkci.

12:28 p.m .: No changes compared to the starting eleven of the last game in 2021 against Hannover 96. Ole Werner plays as follows: Pavlenka – Agu, Veljkovic, Toprak, Friedl, Jung – Bittencourt, Groß, Schmid – Füllkrug, Ducksch.

12.24 p.m .:

Moin, moin from the good Deichstube!

Werder Bremen against Fortuna Düsseldorf: The A-word remains on the index for coach Ole Werner

Bremen – The timing would have been good, so close to the end of the winter break and with the upswing from the last three wins in a row.

Werder Bremen

still let it pass on Thursday.

And quite consciously.

During the official press conference before the second division season opener against

Fortuna Düsseldorf

(Saturday, 1.30 p.m. in the

DeichStube

-Liveticker) verzichtete der Verein einmal mehr darauf, die direkte Rückkehr in die Bundesliga als Saisonziel auszugeben. Heißt: Das Wörtchen „Aufstieg“, es fristet am Osterdeich auch im Januar 2022 noch immer ein Schattendasein, wabert zwar ganz bestimmt durch Kabinentrakt, Fitnessraum und Geschäftsführerbüros, nur verschwindet es eben sofort wieder, sobald sich die Verantwortlichen öffentlich äußern. Ändern wird sich das nicht so schnell, was Trainer Ole Werner aber keinesfalls als mangelnden Ehrgeiz fehlinterpretiert wissen möchte. Ganz im Gegenteil.

(Auch interessant: So könnte die Startelf-Aufstellung von Werder Bremen gegen Fortuna Düsseldorf aussehen!)

Werder Bremen gegen Fortuna Düsseldorf - Ole Werner: „Ich erwarte einen ganz heißen Tanz“

Für den 33-Jährigen liegt in der verbalen Zurückhaltung eine Art Grundvoraussetzung dafür, um das unausgesprochene Ziel am Ende tatsächlich erreichen zu können. „Es bringt mir doch vor allem etwas, das Ganze in kleinen Schritten zu sehen. In welcher Situation sind wir jetzt? Was können wir direkt beeinflussen? Insofern ist unser erstes Ziel, dass wir nach der Winterpause wieder gut in Tritt kommen“, sagte der Trainer. Auf diese Sprachregelung hatte er sich unter der Woche bei einem Treffen mit dem Mannschaftsrat geeinigt. Jetzt lieber keine große Schlagzeile mit dem A-Wort liefern, sondern möglichst viele kleine Überschriften durch erfolgreiche Spiele, die das Thema dann in ein paar Wochen von ganz allein in den Fokus rücken. Ole Werner: „Wir wollen uns in eine Situation bringen, in der wir über die Dinge mitentscheiden können, wenn es im April in die heiße Phase der Saison geht.“ Gegen Fortuna Düsseldorf will Werder Bremen am Samstag (so könnt Ihr das Spiel live im TV und im Livestream sehen) damit anfangen.

Durch seinen starken Jahresendspurt hat sich der SV Werder Bremen in der Tabelle bis auf einen Punkt an den Relegationsplatz herangekämpft. Das soll in 2022 auf keinen Fall direkt wieder verpuffen, sondern fortgeführt werden. „Ich erwarte einen ganz heißen Tanz“, betonte Werner, der zuvor ausführlich die Stärken des Gegners hervorgehoben hatte. Der aber auch wissen dürfte, dass Fortuna Düsseldorf, sie während der ersten 18 Saisonspiele nur äußerst selten hatte zur Geltung bringen können. Aktuell rangiert der Traditionsverein nur auf Rang 13 und darf deshalb getrost als eine der großen Enttäuschungen der bisherigen Serie bezeichnet werden. Werder geht also eindeutig als Favorit ins Spiel.

Werder Bremen auf dem Weg zum Aufstieg? Fortuna Düsseldorf ein „erster, gewichtiger Baustein“

„Es ist zu spüren, dass meine Mannschaft erfolgreich sein will“, sagte Ole Werner über seine Eindrücke während der Winterpause. Fortuna Düsseldorf sei auf diesem Weg ein „erster, gewichtiger Baustein“. Danach – ganz unabhängig vom Ausgang der Partie – stellt sich eine neue Situation dar, die Werner wieder so angehen will, wie er jetzt Düsseldorf angeht: „Wir können nichts links und rechts liegen lassen, sondern müssen immer alle Konzentration auf den Moment richten.“ Es ist ein Credo, das in den Augen des Trainers gerade für Werder Bremen fast schon alternativlos ist, „weil du nicht im Vorwege weißt, welche Unwägbarkeiten sich dir noch bieten werden. Das hat doch das letzte halbe Jahr gerade hier in Bremen gezeigt“.

Auch interessant: Werder Bremen an Premier-League-Profi Pascal Groß interessiert – Berater am Weserstadion gesichtet

Fest steht: Eine dieser Unwägbarkeiten ist die Pandemie, ist das Coronavirus, das längst bei allen Vereinen für eine nicht vorhersehbare Personal-Lotterie gesorgt hat. Vor dem Spiel gegen Fortuna Düsseldorf sind Werder Bremens jüngste Fälle (Veljkovic, Friedl, Füllkrug, Mbom) zwar rechtzeitig zurückgekehrt. Niemand weiß aber, wie es in einer Woche, ja nicht einmal, wie es morgen aussehen kann. „Ich kann es nicht beeinflussen. Ich kann nur mit den Situationen, die sich daraus vielleicht ergeben, bestmöglich umgehen“, sagte Ole Werner, dessen aktuelle Aversion gegen das Wort „Aufstieg

“Maybe that’s the reason.

As I said: First Düsseldorf.

After that see further.

And in the best-case scenario, have already improved your own position somewhat.

"We're the pursuers in seventh because six teams are in front of us and see us in their rearview mirror," Werner stated soberly - and suddenly he almost spoke of promotion without using the term: "Our job is to to overtake one or the other.” In the end, four teams could be enough.
