SV Werder Bremen will play a friendly against third division side SV Meppen on Thursday (2 p.m. in the DeichStube live ticker).
The preliminary report of the DeichStube.
Bremen – Just under a week before the start of the second winter vacation, the players of
SV Werder Bremen
have one last
test game
(2 p.m. in the
DeichStube live ticker
) in the calendar year 2022 against
SV Meppen
on Thursday.
The Bundesliga team actually wanted to use the duel with the penultimate table in the 3rd division to present themselves to their fans in Emsland again shortly before Christmas.
But nothing will come of it because the turf heating in Meppen's Hänsch Arena is currently not working.
Therefore, the test has now been moved to 11th place in Bremen - but without a spectator, which inevitably raises the question of the sporting significance of the meeting.
Werder Bremen test match against SV Meppen in the live ticker: "A training session under endurance aspects"
"It's incredibly important that we prepare well for the second half of the season.
There are also
tryouts
.
That's why it's important for us that we approach the game with concentration," says
Werder Bremen
's head of professional football Clemens Fritz about the last friendly of the year against
SV Meppen
.
And Werder's head coach
Ole Werner
emphasizes: "For us against Meppen it's about getting the processes that we played last year back on the pitch.
In addition, it is a training session from an endurance perspective for us.
We've been working very hard physically in the last few days.
That's how it should be in the units this week and especially in the
test match
move on.
Those are the two things we want to see in the game.”
In terms of personnel, Werner has to do without Benjamin Goller.
The winger moved to 1. FC Nürnberg last week.
The national players Niclas Füllkrug and Milos Veljkovic are still on vacation and are therefore not an option.
In addition, attacker Marvin Ducksch (cold) and the returnees Felix Agu and Manuel Mbom (both advanced training) will not be available again.
The U23 players Tim-Justin Dietrich, Tom Berger and Lasse Rosenboom should fill out the
SV Werder Bremen
squad .

At
SV Meppen
, things are even worse when it comes to the footballing staff: at the start of the week, only 15 field players were on the training ground at Emsland, including ex-Bremer Ole Käuper (a Bundesliga game for Werder) and training guest Timmy Thiele, who played for Werders until 2011 U23 ran up.
A whopping 15 players, on the other hand, were absent sick or injured.
The team of coaches led by head coach Stefan Krämer and his assistant Benjamin Duray also got it recently.
Both had a positive corona test in the previous week and had to be quarantined.
Now the coaches of
SV Meppen
hope to be able to stand on the sidelines again
for the
friendly
against
Werder Bremen .
The duel between
Werder Bremen
and
SV Meppen
last happened four years ago.
Back then, Bremen won 5-2 in Cloppenburg.
The goals were scored twice by Claudio Pizarro, Yuya Osako, Josh Sargent and former U23 player Pascal Hackethal.
Achimer Deniz Undav, who is now under contract with Brighton & Hove Albion in the English Premier League, scored twice for Meppen.
