Werder Bremen vs. 1. FC Nürnberg - the preliminary report:

"Now it's getting hot": Werder Bremen coach Ole Werner and the plan against 1. FC Nürnberg

A quick look over my shoulder at the monitor, a quick comparison of the numbers.

Then

was completely in the picture again.

"Now the games are coming that you have worked on all year, the whole 29 matchdays so far," emphasized the head coach of

on Friday during the press conference before the home game against

(Sunday, 1.30 p.m. in the

).

"The fact that it's all about the sausage is the reward.

We have everything in our own hands and we have the quality to emerge successfully from this task.”

It hasn't happened too often that the 33-year-old has looked a little further into the future.

His focus is usually on the present.

And basically he is doing that now, too, because one is hardly possible without the other.

now needs a good result against

to be able to do well later in the

race.

Or as

puts it: “Now it's time for the hot phase.

And it's clear that when you get involved up there, you want to do it to the end and lead to a successful conclusion."

Werder Bremen against 1. FC Nuremberg: Werder coach Ole Werner warns of the intensity of the opponent

However, the opponent from Nuremberg also has this wish in a very cautious way.

The deficit is currently three points in third place, most recently the traditional club collected so-called “big points” with a 3-1 win against Darmstadt and stalked the big favorites of the promotion race again.

"The most important finding from this is that we can play top games," said

, coach of the Franks, on Friday.

"But unfortunately you don't win games with euphoria and hooray alone."

also recognized during his preparation for the current duel where the real strengths of the southern Germans lie.

"

characterizes the collective and that they actually play full throttle for over 90 minutes," he said.

"They have managed to use this intensity over the past few weeks in such a way that they also turn small things in their favor in tight games." How do you counteract that?

"It's something that's difficult to turn off," admitted the

coach , but he still had a solution ready: "You have to accept that to a certain extent and approach this direction with the same attributes.

If we can do that, then we have a good hand.”

Perhaps

also plays another aspect in the same.

Namely the fact that the people of Nuremberg have struggled with it so far when their competitors – like Werder – defend with a chain of three.

In six games with this constellation,

have only had five points so far.

"Bremen or Schalke also defend with three at the back like other teams in the 2nd league with four," enthused Klauss.

Of course, he still made a plan for the trip to Bremen, but as expected he didn't reveal it.

Werder will be without captain Ömer Toprak, who has been injured again.

However, Werder Bremen

is well advised to take care of their own needs anyway.

A small mistake in the recent past, for example.

Recently, the green-whites didn't play badly, but they rarely used their good chances and therefore only got two instead of six possible points.

It was annoying, but didn't cause panic.

"We're in a very good mood because we can classify everything very well and we're not the only ones to draw against St. Pauli or Sandhausen," said

.

Nevertheless, it was suddenly there, the talk about the lack of effectiveness of his team.

"Effectiveness takes place at both ends of the field," said the 33-year-old.

In defense, for example, you have to “defend the few situations that you can never completely prevent over 90 minutes in such a way that you stay clean at the back,” he said.

Werder Bremen and the home game against 1. FC Nuremberg: weeks of decision in the promotion race

According to Werner, several factors played a role offensively, sometimes luck, sometimes the ultimate consequence.

But it is important for him that the team play out many opportunities at all.

And that is exactly the case.

"It's a collective issue.

It's up to everyone to develop a goal threat and create chances," emphasized the

coach before the home game against

.

"We didn't do badly in the last two games, there it was more like the last ball that we didn't get in the net."

That's exactly why

didn't rush in the classification, but was right in the middle of the close and exciting back and forth of the

.

And Bremen need even stronger nerves now.

"The way you work doesn't change just because the season is coming to an end," said Werder's head coach.

“Nevertheless, it is clear that trend-setting games are just around the corner and these four weeks usually go by very quickly.

You no longer have time to have a major phase of weakness that you then correct.

In that respect there is tension, but I perceive that as a joyful tension.” Those who are in second place in the table do not have to throw their complete composure overboard despite all the pressure.

Not yet.

"We now have two games to play, first

, then Schalke.

Then there are three games where things are decided," emphasized

out.

"By then we'll be in a great starting position - hopefully." Not that all the work was in vain after all.
