Bremen – What is the line-up of SV Werder Bremen in the important Bundesliga game at SC Freiburg? Coach Florian Kohfeldt has options and should remember a warning starting example from his predecessor Viktor Skripnik.
Update: Now the starting eleven of SV Werder Bremen against SC Freiburg has been determined. Trainer Florian Kohfeldt made two changes. You can read all about it in the live ticker!
Continue to the previous message:
It was September 17th, 2016 when Florian Kohfeldt had been shown how it is better not to set up a starting eleven as a coach under pressure. It was the day when Werder Bremen after a season false start in the league and DFB Cup at Borussia Mönchengladbach. Coach suffered three losses Viktor Skripnik already cashed in, and it was clear that his chair was shaking. Ultimately, he threw him over because he desperately whirled up a previously inoperative team. The result: Werder lost the game (1: 4) and Skripnik his job. The coach had submitted a kind of dismissal request with confused personnel decisions, and his assistant coach was learning.
Werder Bremen: is this the starting line-up against SC Freiburg?
What Florian Kohfeldt learned? That blind actionism does nothing in crisis situations. Kohfeldt, then Skripnik’s assistant, saw the boss lose his nerve. Now the former “Co” is in a very similar situation. Sporty in the crisis, his own position weakened and, above all, facing the question of which players Werder Bremen can now get out of the crisis. Kohfeldt has rarely had any personnel options in the past season, and the team has often faced many because of the need for injuries Starting eleven positions by itself. Even though the selection is not extensive, there are at least a few options – and the question is how Kohfeldt will deal with them in the game of SV Werder Bremen at SC Freiburg on Saturday (3.30 p.m.).
The 37-year-old can no longer rely on left-back Ludwig Augustinsson (muscular problems), but returns Davy Klaassen back to the team after a yellow card suspension. “We now have a wider range in the central midfield,” says Florian Kohfeldt. With Klaassen and Comebacker Philipp Bargfrede there are opportunities – for example, to keep the shape weak Maxi Eggestein to put on the bench. At Kevin Vogt there is the freedom to use it in defensive midfield or in the defense chain.
The situation at the front is SV Werder Bremen the one she was before the Corona break. Many fit, nobody meets. Nobody will be able to say with conviction and with valid arguments that Yuya Osako or Josh Sargent compared to Davie Selke and Milot Rashica the better solutions for that Lineup against the Sc freiburg would be. Why changes are as likely as they are unlikely. A little bit just doesn’t matter. The decision to always consider is definitely worth considering Marco Friedl to be appointed as Augustinsson representative. The Austrian’s weaknesses again came out clearly against Bayer Leverkusen (1-4). Michael Lang is the name of the competitor. However, the memory of him hangs that he was even less convincing than Friedl in his previous chances of being used.
Werder Bremen: Starting line-up against SC Freiburg without Maxi Eggestein?
Conclusion: Florian Kohfeldt has opportunities to act personally, but the squad of Werder Bremen is still not a source from which potential rescuers gush, and Kohfeldt also deleted Nuri Sahin and Johannes Eggestein from the squad for the game in Freiburg. Of course, he can always do crazy things like Skripnik once. But his sudden change of goalkeeper, the transfer of Zlatko Junuzovic to the storm (as the only top) and the praising of Ulisses Garcia from the U23 to the left-back position only caused additional confusion at the time, so are not recommended for imitation. Kohfeldt will probably bet on the following starting line-up.
Werder Bremen: Pavlenka – Gebre Selassie, Veljkovic, Moisander, Friedl – Vogt, Bargfrede, Klaassen – Bittencourt, Selke, Rashica.
