In the 1-0 home win of Bundesliga club Werder Bremen against the 1st FSV Mainz 05, the North German tributons conceded. The focus was on coach Ole Werner, who saw the red card after the final whistle and will be missing in the upcoming duel at Bayern Munich.
Ole Werner sat in the belly of the Weser Stadium at a late hour and was annoyed. “That shouldn’t happen to me,” said the coach of Werder Bremen and, despite the liberating 1-0 (1: 0) victory against Mainz 05, was rather economical: “This is a six minus.”
Werner, who is actually always prudent and carefully appeared, had lost the contance after a turbulent final phase in the competitive Friday evening game about the decisions of the referee Martin Petersen.
At first the less sovereign referee had sent the Werder professionals Niklas Stark (90.+3) and then also Marco Friedl (90.+4) with yellow-red in the shower. Then Werner Rot also acted – the 36 -year -old, who apologized to Petersen, will be missing his team next Friday (8:30 p.m.) how the majority of his defense in the difficult game near Bayern Munich are missing.
“I was a bad role model. So you shouldn’t behave as a trainer,” said Werner after his team’s first victory in the new year. The last few weeks have “thawed something.” After a “very good home game” of his team, Werner did not want to comment on the scenes that made the emotions boil up.

The Werder coach also admitted that. “With all the controversial decisions, the bottom line is everyone in the end, which also applies to the referees,” he said: “What I said is not insanely evil, but it is rightly a red card.” He did not do justice to his role at the moment: “That doesn’t work at all.” Werner did not save with self -criticism.
Werder goalkeeper Bittencourt criticizes the referee
Werder’s goal scorer Leonardo Bittencourt, who, shortly after a shot penalty by Marvin Ducksch (12th), triggered the fog horn in the Weser Stadium with the decisive hit (14th), but also criticized the referee team clearly. “They have an arrogance today, so they off. If that’s the way they want to go, then they have to question themselves,” said the 31-year-old.
