Werder Bremen got the next victory against Eintracht Frankfurt with a tactically clever and aggressive performance. The Hanseates won 2-0 on Saturday (1-0). Bremen has all chances of participating in a European competition in the past six games in the past six games. Champions League.
Just a few minutes after a shot by Romano Schmid was directed to the crossbar of Frankfurt Tor by teammate Jens Stage, Oliver Burke struck. After a corner from the left, again the Austrian Schmid was the sender, the Scottish attacker came from the back room and headed quite free -standing to lead for the hosts (28th). In the final phase, it was Schmid himself who, with a very good eye, fled the ball from a half -left position to the bottom right into the goal of Eintracht (84.).
Werner: “Performance was excellent”
“We do it as a network”said defense chief Marco Friedl after the game about the sports show, “We offer few rooms behind the chain, have a few situations where the Eintracht turned up and the offensive players could use.” His coach Ole Werner praised his team: “The performance was excellent. And all the more beautiful that it succeeded in doing it in front of a home crowd and that we could give the fans this feeling again at home.”
“Werder deservedly won. We did not bring what we have planned”stated Eintracht coach Dino Toppmöller opposite the sports show, “We weren’t greedy enough, we didn’t have a top structure and weren’t sure enough on the ball.”
Werner lets it press high
The Werder, glossy by coach Ole Werner, convinced throughout the game with a high pressing, with which the Hesse did not get along well. Until the break whistle, the guests collected no more than six ball contacts in the opposing penalty area – an extremely low value, and also an indication of how efficiently Bremen kept the opponent away from his own sixteen.
Above all, the playful Mario Götze and also offensive partner Hugo Larsson didn’t have time to develop the Frankfurt game. Only a double pass with Hugo Ekitiké brought the risk of the Bremen goal. But the low shot from the left position went past the long post.
Frankfurt not worse, but Werder defends offensive
The guests never gave the impression of making too little for the game or wanting to be pushed into the defense. But the Bremen defense, which was already beginning at the Frankfurt penalty area, made the Dino Toppmöller team find an effective antidote.
Werder lurked for his chance to 2-0. Shortly after the restart, Frankfurt’s left -back Nathaniel Brown made a much too tastle back pass to keeper Kaua Santos. Marvin Ducksch injected into the passport and went alone to the Frankfurt goalkeeper. The Werderaner tried it with a well -dosed chipball over Santos, but did not get that with the direction. The chip missed the gate – and Ducksch pulled her hair.
Frankfurt without punch forward
The Hesse offensive efforts became stronger, but the home side always seemed able to react to the more violent running of the Frankfurters. For this, after a quick advance over the left side Mitchell Weiser had a huge opportunity to increase for Bremen. But his shot went over the box.
And in the final phase, Bremen overrun Eintracht defense. Stage drove the ball forward over the right, fitting inwards. The passed Justin Njinmah stepped over the ball, Schmid was in the right place in the left sixteen. The hardworking and a great season of offensive players lay on the ball on the right foot and completed the acclaimed goal, which sealed the success of the Hanseatic League.
