Goal by Marvin Ducksch too little: Werder Bremen first drops a lot at Schalke 04 and then there are important points

Shock in stoppage time: SV Werder Bremen lost the Bundesliga game on Matchday 30 against FC Schalke 04 1-2 (1-0).

VfB Stuttgart made sure of that by beating Mönchengladbach on Saturday afternoon.

This is our approach.

Everything else will come or not," said Ole Werner, coach of

The problem with the matter: Despite an interim lead, his team did not complete the potentially decisive task and lost 1:2 (1:0) with a goal in added time and lost important ground in the table.

after just six minutes , but a shot by Leonardo Bittencourt from a central position was just blocked.

A little more than ten minutes later, the lead was there - and it was played out really smartly.

Bremen quickly got out of their own half before the ball landed at Mitchell Weiser via Anthony Jung and Maximilian Philipp.

During the harlequin cheer typical of him, the native of Dortmund came a little too close to the Schalke spectators, so that a couple of filled plastic cups hit the scorer unsightly.

Ultimately without consequences for the celebrating SVW professionals.

Werder Bremen against FC Schalke 04: Werder in the meantime lucky - Tom Krauss only hits the crossbar

Shortly afterwards, however, there was medical treatment because Jens Stage was accidentally hit in the back of the head by his opponent's cleated shoe after a foul while falling.

The consequences were a yellow card with an interruption of several minutes and a head bandage for the Dane.

Shortly thereafter, Schalke also became really dangerous for the first time, although they actually fired more shots on goal in the first half (10:7).

After a cross, Simon Terodde headed hard on

, but keeper Jiri Pavlenka was careful (34').

The home team kept trying, but the next really good opportunity came from the more mature Bremen team.

During a counterattack, Stage put Philipp in the limelight with a nice pass, but his hard shot went wide of the goal (45').

In the six-minute stoppage time, Ducksch fired a shot from a promising position under pressure (45+4) before going into the dressing room with the narrow but deserved lead.

After the break,

The hosts remained more active afterwards because

Shortly thereafter, Pavlenka also had to save against Rodrigo Zalazar (58th).

A few moments later, the Czech didn't look so good when he let the ball bounce forward from a corner, but Tom Krauss didn't punish the mistake and instead shot the crossbar (64').

On top of that, Stark had to make way for Amos Pieper with a foot injury (67').

But then it was over for the midfielder, together with Maximilian Philipp he was substituted for Ilia Gruev and Niklas Schmidt (76th).

Werder Bremen vs. FC Schalke 04: Sepp van den Berg and Dominick Drexler turn the game late

This didn't really improve the Bremen performance.

And quite rightly it then also put the 1:1.

defended

far too carelessly, Pieper extended a header right in front of Sepp van den Berg's feet.

Ducksch tried to save in the backcourt, which was once again far too open, but the ball was already on its way and landed untenably in the net (81').

The Werner team looked for a quick answer, but a Ducksch free-kick from a good position rushed just wide (86').

In injury time, Ducksch appeared again dangerously in front of the opposing goal after a Schalke mistake, but Kenan Karaman threw himself in between (90+1).

In return,

very weak second half then finally punished.

Again, the hosts had too much space, which is why a cross landed precisely at Dominick Drexler, who easily scored victory for FC

(90 + 2).

The rest was a Schalke celebration, while the disappointment on the Bremen side was great.

"We could have won the game here today if we had been more effective, but the bottom line was that our performance wasn't what we had imagined," admitted

openly.

"I think

got more out of the game overall in both halves."

captain Marco Friedl grumbled: "The second half was extremely bad from us." And the Austrian pushed afterwards: "We knew that Schalke would give everything what they have because they are gambling for their lives.

We completely missed that attitude, especially in the second half, and all in all we deserved to lose.”

Werder Bremen still in the relegation battle after losing to Schalke 04: "We're not through yet"

The

After the win against Hertha BSC, many fans had actually expected the rest of the season to be relaxed.

But now the view is a little more on the table.

and the relegation place.

Next Saturday, the game will be played late again under floodlights – the opponent will then be FC Bayern Munich in the Wohninvest Weser Stadium (6:30 p.m., DeichStube live ticker).

"We know we're not through yet and we still need points.

We now have a difficult game ahead of us," explained Clemens Fritz, Werder's head of professional football.

"We'll keep working, because we knew beforehand that we weren't done yet.

There are still four intense weeks to come.” (mbü) Have you read it?

Werder Bremen in the live ticker against FC Schalke 04: Ole Werner expects “a big task”

18.07 Uhr: Auf das Personal angesprochen sagt der Coach zu Ducksch, dass dieser sich „überraschend gut“ fühle und eventuell auch für 90 Minuten infrage kommt. Dann adelt er noch Christian Groß, der als Charakter auf und neben dem Platz sehr wichtig sei und Werder „als Anker extrem hilft“.

18.05 Uhr: Ole Werner gibt am Sky-Mikro ein paar Einschätzungen zum Spiel ab. Er warnt vor Schalke, das „in diesem Kalenderjahr sehr, sehr gute Spiele gemacht hat“. Er sagt: „Das wird eine große Aufgabe.“

18.01 Uhr: Zeit für den Blick in die Vergangenheit. Das Spiel zwischen Werder und Schalke ist natürlich ein absolutes Traditionsduell, was sich in 115 Pflichtspielen gegeneinander ausdrückt. Die Bilanz ist dabei leicht positiv für Grün-Weiß: Werder gewann 49-mal, Schalke nur 44-mal. 22 Spiele fanden keinen Sieger. Gerade in den vergangenen Jahren haben die Bremer einiges für diese positive Statistik getan. Wir erinnern uns an den 2:1-Hinspielsieg im Weserstadion und an das 4:1 im Saisonendspurt vergangenes Jahr, das einen großen Schritt im Aufstiegskampf dargestellt hat. Die letzte Niederlage gegen Schalke war ein 1:2 im November 2019. Ein gutes Omen für heute: Die jüngsten sechs Pflichtspiele auf Schalke gewann Werder allesamt, die letzte Niederlage dort kassierte Bermen 2016/17 (1:3).

17.54 Uhr: Schiedsrichter der heutigen Partie ist Bastian Dankert. An den Seitenlinien unterstützen ihn René Rohde und Marcel Unger, Vierter Offizieller ist Robert Kampka. Der VAR heißt Günter Perl, neben ihm sitzt Christian Fischer.

17.48 Uhr: Der Blick auf die Tabelle verrät zudem, dass Werder bei einem Sieg heute Köln und Gladbach überholen und sich auf Platz 10 spielen würde. Bei einem Unentschieden und einer Niederlage hingegen bleibt es bei Platz 12 mit sieben beziehungsweise acht Punkte Vorsprung auf den Relegationsplatz bei nur noch vier ausbleibenden Spielen.

17.38 Uhr: Die restlichen Samstagsspiele sind mittlerweile abgepfiffen. Aufgrund des Stuttgarter 2:1-Siegs gegen Gladbach steht fest: Selbst mit einem Sieg besteht noch immer die theoretische Chance, dass Werder doch noch absteigt; dann zwar nicht mehr direkt – das Polster auf Schalke beträgt dann 14 Punkte bei nur noch vier ausstehenden Spielen –, allerdings könnte der VfL Bochum mit „nur“ zehn Punkten Rückstand Werder noch überholen. Allerdings gibt es noch direkte Duelle der Teams, die Werder überholen müssten: Bochum spielt noch gegen Augsburg, und Stuttgart gegen Hoffenheim.

17.30 Uhr: Der Blick auf die Werder-Bank verrät: Da sitzt heute kein einziger Stürmer auf der Bank. Füllkrug fällt nach wie vor mit lädierter Wade aus. Auch Dinkci hat sich mit Fußproblemen abgemeldet. Zudem fehlt weiterhin Felix Agu.

Werder Bremen im Liveticker gegen FC Schalke 04: Die Aufstellung ist da

17.26 Uhr: Und auch diesmal hält sich die Wartezeit in Grenzen. Schalke spielt mit folgendem Personal: Schwolow – Matriciani, Yoshida, Kaminski, Uronen – Kral, Krauß – Karaman, Zalazar, Bülter – Terodde. Thomas Reis könnte außerdem noch auf Langer (ET), Drexler, Frey, Greiml, Latza, Mohr, Ouwejan, Polter und van den Berg zurückgreifen.

17.24 Uhr: Wir warten noch auf die Aufstellung der von Thomas Reis trainierten Gastgeber.

17.17 Uhr:Das ging schnell: Die Bremer Aufstellung ist bereits da: Pavlenka – Veljkovic, Stark, Friedl – Weiser, Groß, Jung – Bittencourt, Stage – Ducksch, Philipp. Damit vertraut Werder-Trainer Ole Werner auf die exakt gleiche Startelf, die vergangene Woche so eindrucksvoll stark gegen die Hertha aus Berlin (4:2) gespielt hat. Auf der Ersatzbank nehmen zunächst Zetterer (ET), Pieper, Salifou, Schmid, Schmidt, Buchanan, Gruev, Mbom und Chiarodia Platz.

Viele Werder Bremen-Fragezeichen und Geld-Druck: Ole Werners besondere Vorbereitung auf FC Schalke 04

Der SV Werder Bremen spielt am Samstag (18.30 Uhr, DeichStube-Liveticker) gegen den FC Schalke 04 – es geht um den Klassenerhalt und viel Geld. Der Vorbericht zum 30. Spieltag.

Bremen – Auf dem Weg zum nächsten Ausrufezeichen – vielleicht sogar hinter dem vorzeitig perfekten Klassenerhalt – steht der SV Werder Bremen erst mal vor ganz vielen Fragezeichen. Gleich mehrere Spieler sind angeschlagen und drohen beim Gastspiel am Samstagabend beim FC Schalke 04 (18.30 Uhr, DeichStube-Live-Ticker) auszufallen: Niclas Füllkrug, Marvin Ducksch, Eren Dinkci, Niklas Schmidt und Amos Pieper. „Ich hoffe, dass aus diesen vielen Fragezeichen möglichst viele Ausrufezeichen werden“, sagt Ole Werner. Denn der Coach hat in dieser Saison noch einiges vor – und das ist nicht nur der Klassenerhalt.

„Komfortable Situation hin oder her, wir haben unser Ziel noch nicht erreicht“, betont der Coach, der mit seinem Team stolze zehn Punkte Vorsprung auf den Relegationsplatz hat – und das bei nur noch fünf ausstehenden Partien. Auf Schalke könnte Werder schon alles klar machen, falls der VfB Stuttgart zuvor gegen Borussia Mönchengladbach verliert. Doch damit beschäftigt sich Ole Werner nicht. Für ihn ist es auch kein Thema, schon jetzt an die neue Saison zu denken und womöglich mit Blick auf eine Weiterentwicklung aufzustellen. Aus gutem Grund, wie er erklärt: „Das ist Profifußball, du gehst auf den Platz, um Punkte zu gewinnen und dem Verein Einnahmen zu generieren. Auch das spielt für einen Verein wie Werder Bremen eine Rolle.“ Jeder Platz in der Tabelle kann sich auf das TV-Ranking und damit auf die Medienerlöse auswirken – und das in Millionenhöhe. „Da tragen wir über den sportlichen Erfolg auch eine wirtschaftliche Verantwortung“, sagt Werner.

Werder Bremen gegen FC Schalke 04 im Liveticker: Mit frischem Rückenwind zum Klassenerhalt?

Ein Sieg gegen den FC Schalke 04 wäre dabei sogar doppelt hilfreich. Denn sollten die Knappen den Klassenerhalt nicht schaffen, würde Werder Bremen davon beim TV-Geld profitieren. Gleiches gilt für einen Abstieg des VfB Stuttgart. Ein zweitklassiger VfL Bochum würde den Grün-Weißen finanziell dagegen nichts bringen. Es geht nämlich um das sportliche Abschneiden in den vergangenen fünf Jahren, da hinkt der VfL noch etwas hinterher.

In der Gegenwart hat Werder mit dem 4:2-Sieg bei Hertha BSC gerade einen Riesenschritt zum Klassenerhalt gemacht, der nach sechs sieglosen Partien seine Wirkung auch mental nicht verfehlte. „Es war nach den Vorwochen wichtig, eine gute Leistung mit einem guten Ergebnis zusammenzubringen. Und es war der Mannschaft anzumerken, dass uns das Rückenwind gibt“, gesteht Werner. Die besonderen Umstände in Berlin mit der wahnsinnigen Unterstützung der Fans habe dieses Spiel zu einem unvergesslichen Erlebnis gemacht. „Wir müssen diese positiven Emotionen mitnehmen, aber auch konzentriert bleiben und hart arbeiten“, fordert der Trainer des SV Werder Bremen und fühlt sich bereits bestätigt. Denn nach dem kleinen Party-Wochenende mit Bier im Bus und noch ein bisschen mehr in der Bremer Disco „La Viva“ erlebte der Coach am Mittwoch „ein sehr giftiges Training“. Und genau das sei die richtige Reaktion gewesen vor der Partie beim Tabellenvorletzten. „Gegen Schalke können wir uns für das Erlebnis in Berlin nichts kaufen. Die brauchen jeden Punkt. Das wird auf dem Platz und im Stadion zu spüren sein.“ Für Werner ist die Veltins-Arena eines „der lautesten Stadien überhaupt“. Immerhin 7.500 Werder-Fans dürfen versuchen, für grün-weiße Stimmung zu sorgen.

Werder Bremen im Live-Ticker gegen FC Schalke 04: Hält Ole Werners Siegesserie gegen Thomas Reis?

Kurios dabei: Ole Werner trifft in dieser Saison bereits zum vierten Mal auf seinen Trainerkollegen Thomas Reis. Beim ersten Aufeinandertreffen Anfang September betreute Reis noch den VfL Bochum. Werder Bremen gewann 2:0. Zwei Monate später verlor Reis wieder gegen die Bremer – diesmal mit 1:2 und diesmal mit dem FC Schalke 04, der den Coach nach dessen Entlassung in Bochum als Nachfolger von Dimitrios Grammozis verpflichtet hatte. Im Januar folgte Duell Nummer drei: ein Testspiel auf Schalke. Wieder gewann Werder, diesmal mit 1:0. Werner hätte nichts dagegen, wenn diese Siegesserie anhalten würde. Einen Vorteil, Reis nun besser zu kennen, sieht er nicht. „Das Blöde ist doch, dass er auch drei Mal gegen uns gespielt hat“, erklärt Werner und lächelt: „Es wird wenig Überraschungen geben. Weil heutzutage sowieso ganz viel klar ist.“
