On Sunday (3:30 p.m., DeichStube live ticker), SV Werder Bremen will be playing the second and final friendly during the Spanish training camp.
The opponent is FC St. Gallen - and that goes particularly well with the next Bundesliga games.
Murcia - St. Gallen is comparatively tranquil.
A little more than 76,000 people live in the Swiss city, which lies at an altitude of 700 meters.
At first glance, there is not much in common with the German metropolises of Cologne or Berlin.
But as soon as football comes into play, things look a little different, which is why
Ole Werner
, head coach of
SV Werder Bremen
, announced the upcoming
test match
against
FC St. Gallen
(Sunday, 3:30 p.m.,
DeichStube live ticker
) finds really good.
At the end of the training camp in Murcia, Spain, the third in the table in the Swiss Super League should be a kind of blueprint for the next league opponents 1. FC Köln (January 21, 6:30 p.m.) and Union Berlin (January 25, 8:30 p.m.).
Werder Bremen test match against FC St. Gallen in the live ticker: opponents should prepare well for the first Bundesliga games
"
FC St. Gallen
has a team that plays very aggressive football, uses very intensive pressing and, when in possession of the ball, quickly seeks a way forward," explains Werner.
"These are opponents who prepare us very well for our first tasks in the Bundesliga.
That's why we're looking forward to this
test
, which should and will challenge us completely in all phases of the game.” However, the 34-year-old will have to accept a few personnel losses when he appears again in Murcia's Pinatar Arena.
Romano Schmid has on Friday in the morning training of
SV Werder Bremen
suffered an inner ligament injury in his knee and is out for the time being, Lee Buchanan has to step back for the time being due to calf problems.
The U23 players Lasse Rosenboom (hamstring injury) and Marc Schröder (muscular problems) are also absent.
The same applies with a very high probability to striker Niclas Füllkrug, who signed off from training on Saturday with a flu infection.

FC St. Gallen
is currently preparing for the continuation of the season at a location that is also very well known at
Werder
Bremen
.
In Algorfa, where the people of Bremen were guests exactly five years ago, the Confederates set up camp for ten days.
"We are building on this
training camp
and have important clues with the
friendlies
against
Werder
and SC Paderborn," coach Peter Zeidler is quoted as saying on the club's website.
“After that we can really assess ourselves.
Of course we're not in top form yet, but we don't need to be.
We have to get close to that when FC Basel comes on January 22.” (mbü)
