Werder Bremen is annoyed by too many easy goals conceded shortly after half-time. Captain Marco Friedl now wants to work with coach Ole Werner on quick solutions.
Bremen – The nerves are not yet on edge, but the protagonists of the SV Werder Bremen are already quite annoyed – by the many light ones goals conceded especially after the break. Since the green-whites are after the two most recent events in the 1: 2 home defeat against TSG 1899 Hoffenheim now inglorious Bundesliga top. The doorbell rang eleven times in the quarter of an hour after the change. That’s why Werder captain Marco Friedl announced that he would visit the coaching office with his colleagues from the team council in order to find a solution together with Ole Werner and his assistant. Which, please, should not be understood as a panic reaction, because despite all the frustration about the negative trend, Friedl emphasizes the good cooperation and the continued positive mood.
Werder Bremen before games against strong opponents like Mainz 05 – Marco Friedl: “No one is afraid here”
“We are climbers. For us it’s all about keeping the class. We’re still in good shape there.” Marco Friedl looking at the table. There will Werder Bremen despite the negative trend with just one point from the last four games in eleventh place – nine points ahead of the relegation zone. A comfortable cushion, but in the next two games against such strong opponents as Mainz 05 (Friedl: “The team of the hour in the league”) and FC Bayern victor SC Freiburg could shrink. “Nobody is afraid here or thinks about what has happened here before,” Friedl himself alludes to the crash with the incredible descent two years ago in a media round. When he looks at the faces of his teammates, he sees confidence and determination there. “Everyone knows that we still need points, the other teams will catch up,” says Friedl and demands: “We can only do it together. Everyone has to invest a little more again.”
With which he does not want to deny his colleagues’ readiness for action. It’s about little things – including the behavior after the Pause belong. “We’ll give away the games in a few minutes,” the Austrian annoyed: “Maybe we’ll think about a proper one after the break halftime too much that everything is fine. Then it happens.” And now so often that it is a real problem. “I don’t think it’s with sleepiness has to do. It’s just in our heads,” admits the 25-year-old. And it’s not that easy to banish these evil thoughts. “We’ve talked a lot about it, before the game or in the circle before the second half.”

But it didn’t do anything. That’s why Marco Friedl now another idea. The coaching team and team council should work out solutions together. “I’ll go to the coach’s office and make an appointment,” announces the captain of the SV Werder Bremen at. Then everyone can throw in their suggestions. He already has two ideas ready: “Maybe we just press in the first five or ten minutes after the break. Or we stand in the back and hit the balls out.” No matter what the coaching team decides in the end, says Friedl, he expects a quick implementation from himself and his colleagues: “We have to do better at the weekend!”
With all the frustration about easy goals against and points given away, the atmosphere in the team at the SV Werder Bremen but still absolutely fine. The “honest bunch”, as he likes to call his troops, would treat each other fairly, especially in the analysis. Mistake were clearly addressed, admitted and then solutions sought. “We’re staying calm,” he said Marco Friedl, but by which he only means dealing with each other. There should be a bang on the pitch and the negative trend should be stopped in Mainz on Saturday. (knee)
