before the game by leaving new signing Jens Stage out again.

For the Dane, who has been going back and forth between the bench and the pitch for weeks now, Ilia Gruev moved into the starting eleven, which suggested a more defensive orientation in Bremen.

In the run-up to the game, Werner had also urgently warned against the high speed of the Leverkusen game - and that was actually seen several times during the first half.

However,

After Bremen goalkeeper Jiri Pavlenka blocked a shot forward by Moussa Diaby, Jeremie Frimpong should have made it 1-0, but put the ball wide of the goal - lucky for Pavlenka, whose mistake had no consequences (39th).

On the other side, Marvin Ducksch only hit the side netting after a counterattack (40'), before his strike partner Niclas Füllkrug appeared free in front of the goal shortly afterwards, but found his master in Leverkusen goalkeeper Lukas Hradecky from an acute angle (41').

Seconds later, Pavlenka prevented Bremen from falling behind against Diaby (42').

Then there was a break.

After the restart, things continued without hesitation, with both teams looking for a direct path forward.

The teams have now retired to the cabins, the guest block is very well filled, the Werder fans are in a good mood, so are we.

Let's go!

3:22 p.m .:

It is quite possible that Werner’s hope will be fulfilled, because Werder is still unbeaten on the opponent’s place this season.

Werder Bremen against Bayer Leverkusen in the live ticker: Ole Werner wants to postpone the Bayer uptrend

3:20 p.m .:

Werder coach Ole Werner gives an assessment of the opponent on the Sky microphone: “We know about the quality of the opponent,” says Werner, who sees Bayer among the “Top 3 or 4 in the league”.

He hopes to be able to “push the upward trend back a week” with his team.

3:17 p.m .:

Of course, this only applies to the Bundesliga, because in the Champions League Bayer Leverkusen defeated a team of high international format 2-0 with Atletico Madrid during the week.

3:10 p.m .:

Leverkusen’s start to the season has been bad so far, the hosts are second to last in the table with just one win in six games.

Bayer 04 lost all three games at home, where they are obviously very vulnerable.

3:03 p.m .:

What’s in it for Werder today?

Sixth place in the table at best, but of course a win would have to be achieved today and the competition for Cologne (Sunday in Bochum) as well as in the direct duel between Leipzig and Gladbach.

There are only three points down to the relegation place, but too many teams in between so that there is no acute danger.

2:54 p.m .:

The overall record against Leverkusen is positive for Werder with 35 wins and 25 losses in 94 competitive games.

The remaining 34 games ended in a draw.

However, Bremen have been waiting for a win for four meetings, the last dated from the second half of the 2018/19 season, when Werder won 3-1 in Leverkusen after a Kruse brace and a Rashica goal.

2:47 p.m .:

The statistics say that Werder has won the last four games under referee Tobias Welz.

This series may well continue after today's game.

2.44 p.m .:

Tobias Welz will be primarily responsible for accompanying the game as neutrally as possible.

Benedikt Kempkes and Jonas Weickenmeier assist him, fourth official is Florian Badstübner.

The video assistant is called Robert Kampka, the video assistant assistant is Markus Sinn.

Werder Bremen against Bayer Leverkusen in the live ticker: the line-ups are there!

2.38 p.m .: The Werkself trained by Seoane Gerardo should be sorted as follows today: Hradecky – Kossounou, Tah, Tapsoba, Hincapie – Frimpong, Andrich, Hudson-Odoi, Demirbay, Diaby – Schick.

Speed ​​control 2.0: SV Werder Bremen wants to show Bayer Leverkusen that they have learned from mistakes

Der SV Werder Bremen spielt am 7. Spieltag der Fußball-Bundesliga auswärts gegen Bayer Leverkusen (Samstag, 15.30 Uhr, DeichStube-Liveticker). So geht Trainer Ole Werner das Spiel an - der Vorbericht der DeichStube.

Bremen – Manchmal sind Fußballer leicht zu begeistern. Da reicht eine handelsübliche Regentonne und schon steigt die Laune im Training. So wie am Donnerstag, als Chefcoach Ole Werner die Profis des SV Werder Bremen den Ball artistisch in dem Kunststoffbehälter unterbringen ließ. „Wir versuchen immer mal wieder, Dinge einzubauen, die für Abwechslung sorgen“, erklärte er hinterher. Gemeint war die Einheit, doch dieser Satz lässt sich problemlos auch auf die Pflichtspiele der Bremer übertragen. Denn ausrechenbar will niemand gerne sein. Am Samstag geht es für Werder Bremen zu Bayer Leverkusen (15.30 Uhr, DeichStube-Live-Ticker), dort soll das nächste Erfolgserlebnis her – zumal die Gastgeber aktuell nur Tabellenvorletzter sind. Doch Ole Werner ist dieser Umstand ziemlich egal.

„Von der Qualität im Kader her gehört Leverkusen zu den Top-3 oder Top-4 der Liga, und so sind auch die Ambitionen dort gestrickt“, betonte der 34-Jährige. „Die Mannschaft ist sicherlich ein Beispiel dafür, dass die Tabelle nach sechs Spieltagen keine Aussagekraft hat.“ Das bekam am Dienstag in der Champions League auch Atletico Madrid zu spüren, die Spanier unterlagen in der BayArena mit 0:2. „Gegen Freiburg können oder müssen sie vorher schon gewinnen, gegen Augsburg sowieso. Dann steht solch eine Mannschaft auch ganz anders da“, unterstrich Ole Werner vor dem Spiel des SV Werder Bremen. „So ist es aber eben manchmal: Da fallen einem gewisse Dinge nicht vor die Füße, obwohl von der Leistung her eigentlich nicht so viel fehlt.“

Werder Bremen gegen Bayer Leverkusen live: Trainer Ole Werner will Niederlage verhindern - Team muss ans Limit gehen

Nun könnte es sein, dass pünktlich zum Bremer Auftritt im Rheinland die Formkurve bei den Gastgebern nach oben zeigt. „Wir haben uns das über Wochen erarbeitet und heute den ersten Schritt gemacht“, hatte Bayer Leverkusens Robert Andrich nach dem jüngsten internationalen Auftritt gesagt. „Vor der Länderspielpause wollen wir auf jeden Fall noch einen Dreier einsammeln.“ Leidtragender wäre Werder Bremen, doch Ole Werner will eine neuerliche Niederlage unbedingt verhindern: „Wir wissen, dass wir über 90 Minuten eine Leistung brauchen, die am absoluten Limit dessen ist, was wir spielen können.“

Helfen sollen dabei die unangenehmen Erfahrungen aus der jüngeren Vergangenheit. Denn dem Aufsteiger blüht eine temporeiche Herausforderung – so wie schon ein paar Mal zuvor. „Gerade in den Spielen gegen Stuttgart und Frankfurt, aber auch in Wolfsburg hatten wir es mit Mannschaften zu tun, die eine sehr hohe Geschwindigkeit im Offensivbereich haben“, erinnert sich Werner, wobei insbesondere das spektakuläre 3:4 gegen die Eintracht als Warnung dient. Damals hatte Werner hinterher eingeräumt: „Es war das erste Mal, seit ich bei Werder bin, dass wir mit diesem Tempo, dieser Spielgeschwindigkeit konfrontiert wurden.“ Und so richtig gut kam seine Elf damit nicht zurecht.

Werder Bremen live gegen Bayer Leverkusen: Trainer Ole Werner und seine Spieler müssen viel Geschwindigkeit verteidigen

Das soll dieses Mal anders sein. „Wenn man Geschwindigkeit beim Gegner verteidigen möchte, dann muss man die Zwischenräume und den Raum hinter der Kette vernünftig kontrolliert bekommen“, forderte er deshalb. „Das hat mit den Abständen zwischen den Mannschaftsteilen zu tun und damit, zu erkennen, wann man tiefer angespielt werden kann und wann nicht.“ Gegen Frankfurt fand Werder Bremen zwar letztlich offensiv noch in die Partie, konnte damit die anfänglichen Fehler aber nicht mehr kompensieren.

Ebenfalls auffällig: Wo Werder Bremen in den ersten drei Partien noch durch ein beeindruckendes Pressing auffiel, war davon zuletzt nicht mehr ganz so viel zu sehen. Für Ole Werner ist das aber eine logische Entwicklung. „Auf der einen Seite wissen Mannschaften jetzt, wie wir uns verhalten. Trotzdem wissen wir ja aber auch, wie die anderen Mannschaften sich verhalten. Das Entscheidende ist, was du selbst beeinflussen kannst“, unterstrich er. „Zwei der letzten drei Spiele hatten einen ganz anderen Charakter. Da haben wir gegen Mannschaften gespielt, die gar nicht erst versucht haben, von hintenraus ein Spiel mit kurzen Bällen zu entwickeln.“

Werder Bremen will gegen Bayer Leverkusen am Samstag nicht erneut in die Frankfurt-Falle tappen

Folglich kamen die Bremer gegen die gemeinten Clubs VfL Bochum und FC Augsburg gar nicht richtig dazu, den Gegner früh zu stören. „Da geht es dann gar nicht darum, Bälle hoch zu gewinnen, sondern beim hohen Anlaufen eher die langen Bälle weiter entfernt vom Tor verteidigen zu müssen“, sagte Werner. Gegen Bayer Leverkusen könnte sich nun wieder ein verändertes Bild bieten, Werder Bremen

have more opportunities to press.

But that alone is not enough for Werner.

"For us, the following issues are very important: timing, compactness and recognizing game phases combined with the question of when I should start high or defend rather low." After all, Bremen don't want to fall into the Frankfurt trap again.

Otherwise the away trip to Leverkusen would quickly go to waste.

Unlike in training, the fun would be pretty low.
