Even before the Bundesliga game against Werder Bremen, the game against Manchester City was still a topic at the press conference. The final whistle of the Champions League game was less than 48 hours ago. BVB lost 2-1, but Edin Terzic still saw “a lot of good things that we want to take with us for the next few tasks. We owe it to ourselves to show what we did in comparisons with Manchester in the six Bundesliga games, ”said the coach. “We are confident, but that alone is not enough. We must continue to give everything for our goal. ”
The goal in the Bundesliga is fourth place and the associated qualification for the UEFA Champions League. BVB have six games left to meet the target. As fifth in the table, Schwarzgelb is seven points behind the fourth-placed Frankfurt team. The next opponent in the Bundesliga on Sunday is Werder Bremen, currently table 13. Werder have lost the last four Bundesliga games, but made it to the semi-finals of the DFB Cup at the beginning of April after defeating Jahn Regensburg. The first leg in December, in which Edin Terzic stood on the sidelines for the first time as head coach of Borussia Dortmund, was won 2-1 by BVB. Before the second leg, the coach warns: “Werder Bremen has annoyed us a lot in recent years, both in the Bundesliga and in the DFB Cup. We have to do our best to leave the field with three points. “
Bremen is an aggressive and flexible team, “that keeps changing formations, both before and during the game. The focus is still on our game, we have to trust our processes. “And:” We will fight back so that they won’t annoy us this time. “
Terzic can perhaps rely on Thomas Delaney again, who had to sit out against Manchester due to an injury: “He is doing an individual program today and we hope that he can do training again tomorrow, so that he is an option for Sunday.” Jadon Sancho is against Bremen are not yet back in the squad. He will take a stress test on Saturday. The long-term injuries are also making progress: “Axel Witsel is doing very well. He is fully on target in rehab, although it won’t work this season. Marcel Schmelzer and Youssoufa Moukoko are also constantly increasing the workload. Dan-Axel Zagadou still needs some rest, but is also on schedule. “
