Werder Bremen is in the result crisis. On Friday evening it set the third defeat in a row for the Weser team.
“We are in the last third of the season. The games give ourselves the opportunity to make up flooring,” said Werder Bremen’s coach Ole Werner before his team’s Bundesliga game in Freiburg. The North Germans had traveled to Baden with a lot of optimism. “I have zero the feeling that we cramp,” he was sure.
Maybe he would no longer share the impression after Friday evening. Because Werder Bremen lost 0: 5 in Freiburg. A clear bankruptcy that the third defeat in a row meant. A bitter setback in the fight for Europe.
Midfield man Romano Schmidt stated: “I am a bit ashamed of this appearance.” And sports director Clemens Fritz also spoke of a “desolate” performance. “We can really only apologize for what we delivered here,” said the 44-year-old ex-professional.
Werder kept up in the first half and only received two beautiful standard goals with a fall back and free kick. But in the second round, the team of coach Ole Werner got under the bikes. “The bottom line is that it is very, very disappointing. Just as we currently appear, it is not enough to score points,” said the Bremen coach.
Central defender Amos Pieper spoke of a “terrifying” performance in which it “was lacking in everything”. “That doesn’t work.”
However, there was no stand or a whistle concert of the travelers who traveled with us. Because on Tuesday the important DFB Cup game at Arminia Bielefeld is coming up. Werder absolutely wants to move into the semi -finals against the third division club.
“Fulfill the dream” was on a banner that the guest fans had brought to Freiburg.
Therefore, for Werder it is important to quickly check off the 0: 5 debacle and look ahead. Romano Schmid sees it similarly: “We are Werder Bremen and I go into the game with a wide chest and know that we are the better team when we bring our performance onto the square – very, very simple.”
