As part of its winter training camp in Murcia, Spain, SV Werder Bremen will be playing a friendly against third division Spanish side Real Murcia on Wednesday (12:30 p.m. in the DeichStube live ticker).
The preliminary report of the DeichStube.
Murcia - It's a little paradoxical, because on the one hand they are looking forward to their first football game of the year at
SV Werder Bremen
- on the other hand they had imagined it very differently.
Because the originally planned opponent, FC St. Pauli, canceled the
friendly
in Murcia, Spain, the Spanish third division team
Real Murcia
is now stepping in as an opponent and will challenge Bremen on Wednesday from 12.30 p.m. in the
DeichStube live ticker
in the Pinatar Arena.
"Murcia is a blank slate for us," said
Werder Bremen
's head coach
Ole Werner
, whose analysts struggled to gather detailed information about the team from the university town in south-east Spain in such a short time.
Basically, the Bremen coach focuses on the performance of his own team anyway.
Werder Bremen friendly against Real Murcia - Ole Werner: "A blank slate for us"
"For us it will be about having good clarity in our own ball possession and creating chances to score," announces
Ole Werner
, who worked with his team on precisely these issues during the first two days of the winter training camp.
It is planned that "virtually all players" will be used for 45 minutes.
It is questionable whether this also applies to Marco Friedl, Milos Veljkovic and Eren Dinkci.
The trio were suspended at
Werder Bremen
on Tuesday due to a slight infection, and it is possible that they will continue to be rested against
Real Murcia
.
Incidentally, both clubs are meeting for the first time, but there have been cross-links between them in the past.
In Andreas Reinke (2003) and Daniel Jensen (2004), Werder Bremen have already signed two professionals from the Spanish club, which last played in the 2007/2008 season in the first division and then crashed from the
sport
.
Last season,
Real Murcia
rose from the fourth division back to the third division, where the team is currently third in the table.
