SV Werder Bremen plays at home against FSV Mainz 05 on Saturday (3.30 p.m., DeichStube live ticker) and wants to continue the high flight, but coach Ole Werner puts the brakes on any hype.

The DeichStube preliminary report on the game on the 10th match day of the Bundesliga.

Bremen – When suddenly it was no longer about football and

SV Werder Bremen

, Ole Werner's face, which had been almost petrified until then, exploded and the coach finally laughed.

Until then, everyone who had been in hiding for the last few weeks would have thought that the coach of a club would be sitting on the podium in no man's land in the table and talking soberly about the next home game on Saturday against

FSV Mainz 05

(3:30 p.m.,

DeichStube live ticker

).

Werder is fifth, the fans dream of Europe and of their favorite Niclas Füllkrug taking part in the World Cup.

Only Werner, as usual, responds to the hype with stoic calm and only lets things go when the traditional free market question is asked.

"I haven't been to a fair for a long time," the 34-year-old initially evaded the request to reveal his preferences at the fair.

But he enjoys the topic and doesn't have to be careful about spreading too much

euphoria

.

“People would see me at the swivel grill.

I'd probably have a drink too - and if there's enough for a carousel, I'd sit in it too," jokes

Ole Werner

, but deliberately chooses the subjunctive.

Because of the increasing corona numbers, he would refrain from visiting to be on the safe side, “although I would really like to”.

Werder Bremen against FSV Mainz 05: coach Ole Werner warns of an unpleasant opponent

So the only party is on the soccer field.

Ole Werner

is quite good at it, not only

proved it during the promotion of

SV Werder Bremen , but has also made many leaps of joy this season.

But when he is supposed to talk about the rise of the climber, his happiness hormones have long been banished to the farthest corner of his body.

"We played sensibly for a promoted team and scored sensibly," is his interim conclusion.

And so that even that doesn't come across as arrogant, Werner quickly adds: "

It doesn't do us any good for the

Mainz game ." His team always has to work hard for everything.

And that is exactly what is done during the week.

The team had to adjust to a slightly different opponent than Hoffenheim or Mönchengladbach.

"

Mainz 05

plays football very intensively and very straight forward.

They behave well on the second ball," reports Werner, and he also provides his solution: "We have to switch well and not get stuck too often when counter-pressing.

And we have to manage to play football against the aggressiveness and physicality of Mainz.” The twelfth place in the table cannot be compared one-to-one with FC Augsburg, but it could be at least as unpleasant as against the Swabians, warns Werner.

As a reminder: After a sometimes tough fight,

Werder Bremen

lost 1-0 to FCA.

Werder Bremen vs. Mainz 05: team of the hour?

Coach Ole Werner doesn't care about the hype

That was a minor setback for the green-whites, but they recovered quickly and took seven points from the next three games.

The title "Team of the Hour" was awarded for this, and

Werder Bremen

is on everyone's lips.

But

Ole Werner

doesn't care.

"You can only do your job if you can ignore the things that are being discussed around you or that are being said about you to a certain extent," is his credo.

Incidentally, this also applies to the Niclas Füllkrug personnel.

And the leader of the top scorer list would be just as relaxed about the World Cup hype and only think of Werder, emphasizes Werner.

That can't do any harm, because Bremen are waiting for seven games in 28 days, starting with the game against

Mainz 05

.

"For that we need a fresh mind and we have to see that we get through well physically," says the

SV Werder Bremen

coach .

And don't have to worry - albeit involuntarily because of Corona - whether a visit to the Freimarkt would have fitted in during this time.
