Do you remember April 14th? Werder were completely crushed in Leverkusen (0:5) and were an unwilling helper at the championship party.
Since then, Bremen have not lost a single competitive match. It is all the more surprising how modest the mood around Werder has been since the good performance against Dortmund (0:0): Player criticism of Ole Werner’s coaching and the defensive transfer policy caused unrest. A few days later, Werder followed up with a poor and unsuccessful test in Münster (2:3), which frustrated the coach. Preparations for the game in Mainz (Sunday, 5:30 p.m.) begin on Tuesday (2:30 p.m.).

Will Werder now manage to turn the mood around?
Professional boss Peter Niemeyer told BILD: “We haven’t lost eight competitive games across the season. There should be a positive mood. The dissonance after the Dortmund game has been worked through. The long weekend without training was also good. I’m optimistic that we’ll start the week with a good feeling and renewed courage.”

Ducksch and Friedl had to report back after criticizing the coach and publicly backtracked. Some professionals (e.g. Grüll, Schmid) are enjoying a change of scenery with the national teams, while the rest were able to relax on the training-free weekend and perhaps get into a more positive mood for the coming weeks.
Incidentally, Keke Topp returned to Bremen early from the DFB U21 team on Monday. He had been hit on the foot during training. However, his appearance in Mainz is not yet over.
