SV Werder Bremen played 2-2 (0-0) against Borussia Mönchengladbach and scored an incredibly important point. After the game, relief prevailed, but also pride. The voices of the game.
Ole Werner (Coach of SV Werder Bremen): “Total effort from my team. We talked about the issues we had this week. Today a 17-year-old with his starting XI debut, A-youths on the bench, two from the second on the bench and still a game in which we were on an equal footing for a long time when it came to the issues between the penalty areas. In the first half I found our approaches even clearer, in the second half we had more problems. “Zetti” was good in goal, kept us in the game a couple of times and we came back, so for me it’s a point won and it was really a good performance from the team again.”
Niclas filling jug (Striker of SV Werder Bremen): “I think it took us far too long in the game to change things. Actually, we played a very good game in the first half, because we had clearer chances. I think we also have to take a 1-0 lead, but somehow we have total inaccuracies in the last pass or in the finish. And then in the second half we made it 1-0, then made it 1-1 relatively quickly and then we went through a phase in which we didn’t put any pressure on the ball, even though we were playing deep at times. It only got better when we said relatively clearly that we would play the ball forward from the central defender and try to get to the second ball, because then we had a much better order on the second ball.”

“It was fun”: Comments on Werder Bremen’s game against Borussia Mönchengladbach
Marvin Ducksch (double goal scorer at Werder Bremen): “I think we might have deservedly won the game with the chances we had in the first half. But nonetheless, if we come back twice at the end, we can take the point quite well.”
Michael Zetterer (Starting XI debut at Werder Bremen): “It felt like there was more in it. But we come back twice from behind, which shows the character of the team. We also learned a bit compared to last time. We were callous in front of goal today.”
…to the startel debut: “It was fun. You could get used to that. No, that’s what I’m here for, that’s what I train for. I just enjoyed it.”
Jens Stage (midfielder of SV Werder Bremen): “It’s been a long time since we last had a draw. The game was a bit like our last games. But we showed strong character, came back twice and got what we at least deserved. Today we threw everything in, including the guys who came in. It was a good fight and a well deserved point.”
