SV Werder Bremen lost the Bundesliga game against VfL Wolfsburg 0-1. The descent is getting closer. The follow-up report of the DeichStube *.
Bremen – Florian Kohfeldt knew that what he was about to say “sounds silly”. Then he said it anyway. “What gives me courage is the table,” said the coach of the SV Werder Bremen after his team’s 0: 1 (0: 0) defeat against the VfL Wolfsburg. A defeat that further exacerbated the Bremen situation in the table and was therefore more suitable for triggering panic reactions and fatalism than courage. But Kohfeldt was very serious and explained: “It is not seven or eight points to the relegation place, but only three. This is possible with four games remaining. “
Is it. Theoretically. But as Werder is currently performing, even three points are unbelievably large. Committed yes, dangerous on goal no – that is the shortest description of what the Bremen team can do. And in the end the team reliably makes the one mistake that decides the game. It was Sunday afternoon Kevin Vogt, the Wout Weghorst had the winning goal beheaded (82nd). And VfL trainer Oliver Glasner afterwards revealed that he had laid out the Bremen team just as well and had imagined the script of the game as well. “We wanted to close the middle and leave Werder the ball in rooms that we could control. We hoped that they would get tired out the back. It’s nice that it worked out that way, ”said the Austrian, thereby documenting how easy it has been for those trained by Kohfeldt SV Werder to look out and slow down.
Werder Bremen barely achieved anything after half time one
The biggest problem in Bremen was not the one mistake in an otherwise quite stable defensive, but the pitiful harmlessness in the attack. After two or three good scenes in halftime one, Werder hardly managed anything. “Our behavior in the last third is bad – there is no other word for it,” Kohfeldt conceded again. And because the whole thing is not a snapshot, but a permanent state (which the 1-0 victories in Freiburg and Schalke do not change), the question of how Werder wants to score the necessary goals in the last four games remains around the three points (and six hits) Fortuna Dusseldorf to catch up on the relegation rank.
The answer might be Nicla’s mug be called. After his cruciate ligament rupture, the striker has been back in team training since Thursday, next Saturday he should be in the important game at the bottom of the league SC Paderborn back in the squad. It is clear that there are hopes attached to his comeback. Kohfeldt does not want to overdo it: “I do not want to put pressure on his shoulders and say: ‘The Messiah will finally come back!’ Niclas will initially only be an alternative for the bank.” But at least that. Against Wolfsburg was the effect of the bank, despite the substitution of four offensives, zero.
Werder Bremen now three points behind the relegation place
That is why Werder Bremen lost a game that shouldn’t have been lost. That’s why it says Werder Bremen now three points behind that Relegation rank and six behind the saving place 15, which continues Mainz 05 holds. Because the Kohfeldt team still has to play in Mainz on the penultimate matchday, the Bremen team could still be given a real chance of staying in the league. But even occupational optimist Kohfeldt doesn’t want to know anything about it for the time being. “I didn’t write it off, but we should win another game first. I shouldn’t now say whether we’re catching up six points. We should win in Paderborn first, that will be difficult enough. And then we see what the table looks like. “
At the moment it looks like that Werder Bremen down in league two. But the team will not conform to this fate – at least not as long as relegation is still possible. The way to get there is probably only through the relegation, Kohfeldt also sees it this way: “We are not a dead team. We will fight for this place of relegation, that is our goal. And if we then come through the relegation, we still have two chances. Giving up is never an option. ”(Csa)

To the game report at 3.30 p.m .:
Next home defeat against Wolfsburg: Werder tumbles towards the 2nd division
Bremen – The pressure was great, huge, because the competition in the table cellar had finally submitted – and held up Werder Bremen not him on Sunday afternoon. In the important home game against VfL Wolfsburg The team of coach Florian Kohfeldt received a 0: 1 (0: 0) defeat and is now with at least one leg in the 2nd league. The Table 17 Backlog. on the relegation place is three, the one on the saving bank is already six – with a worse goal difference than the competitors from Düsseldorf and Mainz.
Werder Bremen initially more active than VfL Wolfsburg
Kohfeldt had several changes in his compared to 0: 3 against Frankfurt Starting eleven performed. Ludwig Augustinsson acted as left-back for the first time since early March, Marco Friedl had to go back to the bench. There were also Davie Selke, who was replaced by Josh Sargent, and Fin Bartels, for whom Philipp Bargfrede had joined the team. Bitter for Werder: Milot Rashica hadn’t even made it into the squad because of an ankle injury, and Leonardo Bittencourt had to be satisfied with his role as a substitute. Kohfeldt tactically opted for a 3-5-2 system, with Kevin Vogt as the central man in the defensive line.
During the first round, the Bremen team were a bit better because they were more active. Although the hosts’ offensive efforts did not offer a number of opportunities, the performance was nevertheless decent. After a cross from Davy Klaassen, Maximilian Arnold prevented Sargent from finishing at the last minute (24th). Found a little later Yuya Osako after a nice pass from the playful bargfrede his master in Wolfsburg’s goalkeeper Koen Casteels (31st), who joined from January 2015 to July 2015 Werder Bremen had stood between the posts.
Werder Bremen: shock second after Jiri Pavlenka ricochet
The Bremen team then challenged in the 38th minute Penalty, because Xaver Schlager had got the ball on his arm from a short distance after a shot by Maximilian Eggestein. After consulting the video assistant, referee Bibiana Steinhaus was right no penalty. Wolfsburg seldom appeared in front of the Bremen gate before the break. The most dangerous scenes: goalkeeper Jiri Pavlenka and Milos Veljkovic resolved together against Wout Weghorst (13), and later Pavlenka caused a ricochet Startling moment (32.).
Even after the change, Werder initially had more game shares, but did not manage to come to a dangerous conclusion. The ball ran quite well up to the Wolfsburg penalty area, but then there was a lack of creativity and power to win a Bundesliga game. Florian Kohfeldt reacted, Bartels brought in for Bargfrede in the 61st minute to strengthen the offensive. The game had just become one due to heavy rains Water battle developed. Standard situations would have been an effective means, but Werder made far too little of his.
Werder Bremen: Wout Weghorst scores for VfL Wolfsburg in the final phase
An example? Augustinsson did without a patch on wet ground and shot the ball over the goal from a good free kick position (68 ‘). Defensively, the Bremen team did not allow much against harmless Wolfsburg until the final phase – Felix Klaus (72nd) and Schlager (73rd) shot over it, but that was it so far. And starting at the latest with the substitution of Leonardo Bittencourt hoping for the lucky punch. Schlager almost put him on the other side – his shot from a distance went to the bar (81.). Wout Weghorst made it better shortly afterwards and beheaded Werder a huge piece in the direction of the second division – 1-0 (82nd).
Werder’s home record remains disastrous. Only one win from 15 games, plus a goal difference of 9:34 – no question: these are numbers of a relegated team. The Bremen team now has four games left for the descent to prevent somehow. Next Saturday the bottom of the table SC Paderborn. (dco)

37 min: Wolfsburg outnumbered on the way towards Werder-Tor. Brekalo, Mehmede and Weghorst have been just as inefficient as Sargent and Osako.

31.min: Yuya Osako’s first good action, which has been viewed very critically in recent weeks. Bargfrede puts the Japanese in the limelight, pulling away from the edge of the box. Casteels is there. A passport to the free man next door might have been smarter.

23 min: Good attack by the Bremen team! Klaassen brings the cross into the center where Osako does not hit the ball properly. Sargent lurks a little behind, but is blocked by Arnold at the last moment. There was more in it!
22.min: Wolfsburg now presses earlier and always manages to force Werder to lose the ball. But there weren’t more than a few interjections.
18.Min: Who knows, maybe the substitutes for Selke, Bittencourt and Co. will vote for “Forza SVW”.
17.Min: Interesting: Werder actually creates a little home game atmosphere here. An advertising supervisor has a kind of metal box and a piece of wood with which he seems to regularly play the drummer.
13.Min: Great opportunity Wolfsburg. Weghorst is alone after Veljkovic-Patzer on the way to 1: 0 for the wolves. The Dutchman can pass the ball past Pavlenka, but has not put enough pressure behind it. Veljkovic can clarify it himself.
12.min: Werder is better at the game, but cannot prevail in the last third.
10.Min: Super pass on Augustinsson. The Swede takes too long to react, so that Wolfsburg right-back Mbabu clears the corner.

5.Min: First good interaction between Osako and Sargent that leads to a corner.

3.Min: The jersey selection of the two opponents takes some getting used to. the light blue jersey of the Wolfsburg is not that far from the Werder green. Referee Bibiana Steinhaus apparently didn’t mind.
1.Min: Kick off – the game is on! And soon you can hear the Bremer Bank again!
1.30 p.m .: There is a minute of silence against racism. All players kneel on the floor, like Colin Kaepernik (NFL professional), who chose this gesture as a protest a few years ago.
1:29 pm: Friends, are you a little bit excited? Today’s game is so important!
1:28 p.m .: Get started now! From the stadium boxes booms ,, lifelong green-white ”
1:26 p.m .: Anything else to encourage? Over the past few years, things have always looked good against Wolfsburg at home. There has been no away win since 2015. Florian Kohfeldt’s side won 3-2 in the first leg.
1:21 pm: Wolfsburg has won four of their last five away games. Werder’s home record is terrifying. There had been no three in the Weser Stadium since September.
1:18 pm: As if the game itself doesn’t bring enough fire with it. Werder is six points behind the saving bank – three on the relegation site. Wolfsburg can jump to sixth place with a win, which would secure qualification for the Europa League at the end of the season.
1:15 p.m .: Perhaps it is only surprising to Glasner that there is more atmosphere in the Weser Stadium even without fans than in Wolfsburg?
Werder Bremen against VfL Wolfsburg in the live ticker – Baumann counters Glasner, who accuses Werder of lacking solidarity
1:13 p.m .: Frank Baumann countered very calmly in his calm manner. Glasner’s statements are strange, adventurous and absurd. You try to project passion from the bank onto the field and have nothing to blame yourself for.
1:11 p.m .: Wolves Coach has something against it Oliver Glasnerwho caused misunderstanding on the Bremen side during the week. The following comment has to be melted in your mouth: ,, Werder Bremen in particular spoke very often of solidarity during the Corona break because they were only allowed to train in small groups for a long time. So it would now be a sign of solidarity not to use the atmosphere in the stadiums for your own benefit. ”
1:07 p.m .: Werder urgently needs a victory against the guests from Wolfsburg today so as not to lose the connection to Düsseldorf and Mainz. Both were able to score yesterday.
1:02 p.m .: Still not in the squad: Pizarro, Toprak, Füllkrug, Möhwald and Sahin. At least with Toprak and Füllkrug it looks as if they could return before the end of the season.

12.52 p.m .: Finn Bartels is returning to the bench for the time being after starting the game against Eintracht. Like all Bremeners, he looked very hard on Wednesday. But not much more.
12.45 p.m .: Particularly bitter for Werder: Milot Rashica got a blow against Frankfurt and also suffers from ankle problems. It is therefore not enough for today’s game.
12.37 p.m .: In Wolfsburg, i.a. with top scorer Wout Weghorst and Admir Mehmedi. The captain is the former Werder keeper Koen Casteels, who played six good games for Werder in 2015.

12.33 p.m .: Kohfeldt has apparently come up with some ideas for the game – Werder’s line-up differs in terms of personnel in several positions from that during the 0: 3 against Frankfurt. In the back left, Ludwig Augustinsson returns to the team and replaces Marco Friedl. Leonardo Bittencourt (sitting on the bench) and Milot Rashica (not in the squad at all) are missing in the starting line-up. The name Philipp Bargfrede reappears there. Since Kevin Vogt also plays, there are two tactical options: a 3-5-2 system with a three / five chain or the classic diamond in the middle.

The preliminary report of June 6, 2020:
Werder Bremen against VfL Wolfsburg under enormous pressure: the competition scores
Bremen – Now the pressure on Werder Bremen is huge! In the relegation battle of the Bundesliga, Saturday delivered results that match the penultimate home game against VfL Wolfsburg (Sunday, 1.30 p.m. Live ticker the DeichStube) under a clear heading: Winning is a must! After all competitors have scored in the table cellar, the SV Werder Bremen against the VfL Wolfsburg be sure to tighten so as not to lose more and more ground.
The 76th minute of the game ran on Saturday when two goals were scored in Düsseldorf and Frankfurt, which made for long faces at SV Werder Bremen should have taken care of. Fortuna Dusseldorf scored 2-2 against Hoffenheim in 1899, scoring one point and extending their lead over Bremen to three points (with a goal difference of four goals). And in Frankfurt Mainz 05 made it 2-0 against Eintracht. The League 15 Tab. on Werder is now six points – that’s already a board. Unless Werder Bremen also wins against VfL Wolfsburg. But whether the Bremer really manage to get up again within four days after the 0: 3 against Frankfurt on Wednesday?
Werder Bremen coach Florian Kohfeldt: “Convinced that we will make it to the relegation class”
It will not amaze anyone that coach Florian Kohfeldt is exactly convinced of this: “We already showed that we can deal with this pressure when we came back after the 1-4 against Leverkusen.” Then what Kohfeldt called in retrospect the “seven good halves” happened. Two against Freiburg (1-0), two against Mönchengladbach (0-0), two against Schalke 04 (1-0) and one against Frankfurt on Wednesday. In the second round fell into disrepair Werder Bremen then in old mistakes, conceded three goals, two by standards. Back in crisis mode!
But as is so often the case this season, Kohfeldt does not focus on the bad, but on the good, and avoids panic and hecticness when performing. His team had shown both in the poor eighth half against Eintracht. Kohfeldt: “We weren’t calm about the setback.” But that is exactly what is needed now. The others – including the bottom of SC Paderborn with the 1-1 at RB Leipzig – scored on Saturday. Results like stabbing for Werder Bremen. Kohfeldt reads the table as follows: “Overall, we are at Fight for relegation. With us, nobody expected us to march through and be saved two game days from the end. We know it will last until the last match day. I am convinced that we will make it into the league. ”
Werder Bremen has won the last four home games against VfL Wolfsburg
In fact, a victory over the VfL Wolfsburg Ties with Düsseldorf on the Relegation place mean. The chronic home weakness of the Bremen team (ten of 14 home games lost, only one won) is anything but a good omen. In addition, home victories in ghost mode have become an absolute rarity. In the 43 Bundesliga games without spectators so far, the home team has won only ten times – the odds are below 25 percent. 21 away wins, however, are almost 50 percent. These are statistics that should not encourage SV Werder Bremen. But at least: They have won the last four home games against VfL Wolfsburg. A ray of hope in the gloomy data forest.
For victories, however, goals are needed – and Werder’s problems with the production of these huge problems did not become clear in the last few games. Five games, three hits – pretty thin. But again Florian Kohfeldt seen the good approach: “Obviously, getting ahead is a topic for us. However, we very often come into promising situations, but we do not develop clear opportunities from them. These are the tasks for the game against the VfL Wolfsburg. “And don’t forget to win! (csa)
