After the capital false start of Werder Bremen into the new season, midfielder Senne Lynen demands newcomers in the final phase of the transfer period. “Yes, I think so,” the Belgian replied to the question of whether you have to worry if the club should no longer be active until the end of the transfer window on September 1st.
Lynen is not the first Werder player to pound. Captain Marco Friedl had also demanded new professionals in the recent past. “I have made my opinions or my statements for the past few weeks. I will not say anything about it today,” Friedl emphasized after the 1: 4 start of the Bundesliga at Eintracht Frankfurt.
At “DAZN” the Austrian put his finger in the wound and said that there were “few straws” “to which we can cling to”. And: “There are fewer experiences of success in the past few weeks, regardless of the way, on the square, next to the square. A lot is going wrong or wrong because many injuries are also added, and, and, and …”
Sports Managing Director Clemens Fritz made it clear that you would still do something. “We can only do what we can then implement in a budgetary,” said Fritz, but also added: “I also know: We don’t have a lot of time.”
Werder Bremen: coach and sporting leadership under pressure early
Before the defeat in Frankfurt in the Bundesliga, the competitive game started in the first round of the DFB Cup with the 0-1 at Arminia Bielefeld. Werder’s leadership around Fritz and coach Horst Steffen are under pressure early in the season. The new trainer also hopes to do: “There are still a few things to do. That is very clear. And the work I have to do is on the pitch.”
In addition to painful departures such as that of striker Marvin Ducksch to Birmingham City or goalkeeper Michael Zetterer in Frankfurt, immense problems are added to the Hanseatic city. With Jens Stage, Amos Pieper, Maximilian Wöber, Mitchell Weiser and Olivier Deman, five potential regular players are missing in the long term. In addition to Keeper Mio Backhaus (21) and newcomer Samuel Mbangula (21), Patrice Covic and Karim Coulibaly experienced two 18-year-olds in the Bremen jersey-both received their first career market values with EUR 2.5 million or EUR 1 million.
“The failures – we cannot compensate for one to one in the form,” admitted Fritz. However, the association attempts on the transfer market to find the “best possible solutions”, according to the 44-year-old. It is a “challenge to find a player who really makes us better”. According to the “Deichstube”, the green-whites continue to strive for a loan of Eintracht Frankfurt’s full-back Elias Baum, whom coach Steffen from Elversberg knows. SGE sports director Markus Krösche does not want to give the 19-year-old “Stand now”.
