Werder Bremen wins with wall tactics: Kohfeldt’s realism provides important points in the relegation battle

“In terms of the table it was an incredibly important game for us,” said Kohfeldt, who celebrated a home win for the first time since the beginning of October (1-0 against Bielefeld). To do this, he demanded behavior from his professionals in the first half that is actually not necessarily in Werder’s DNA.

A clever maneuver that worked perfectly. “We now have 18 points,” said Kohfeldt: “It was a horrible football game for the spectators in the first half. But we have to be realistic about the possibilities we have.”

The green-whites can at least take a short breath. Relegation is the goal that Werder has set for themselves this season and Kohfeldt shows that he has learned about relegation from the very tight last season with last-minute league stay.

Realism is currently the top priority at Werder

The lover of an attractive style of play is approaching his mission this season with “significantly, significantly fewer resources” than in previous years and with the highest degree of realism. Werder also does the rather unpopular things in football when it increases the chance of points. “I know that we won’t win a beauty award like this,” said Kohfeldt:

And I say very clearly that the goal remains to play a different kind of football. ”

The Bremen team gave Augsburg two-thirds of the ball possession in their own stadium in the first half and strikers Davie Selke and Joshua Sargent also withdrew into their own half. Kohfeldt’s plan, which had already provided a little more offensive in the first half, ultimately worked out perfectly because Werder turned the lever significantly after the break and steadily increased the pressure. The goals from Theodor Gebre Selassie (84th) and the strong starting eleven debutant Felix Agu (87th) were now well deserved.

Bremen’s unusually defensive appearance will not be a blueprint for the rest of the season. Kohfeldt wants to develop Werder further and gradually move it back in the direction of football that he actually has in mind.

A role model is Union Berlin, which gradually adds playful elements to combat strength and is enormously successful. “They know exactly what they can and also what they can’t,” said Kohfeldt, who and his team are facing a difficult away game at Borussia Mönchengladbach on Tuesday (6.30 p.m. in the live ticker).
