After the cup defeat at Arminia Bielefeld, goalkeeper Michael Zetterer (30) flowed bitter tears – it should have been his last game for Werder Bremen. Officially, however, nobody wanted to confirm the upcoming switch to Eintracht Frankfurt. “We are in conversations, in fact.

“I’m not saying anything now,” emphasized the 44-year-old on specific demand. Coach Horst Steffen also said similarly to the emotional reaction of the goalkeeper after the final whistle: “I think he did a very good performance. He was not the only one who was very disappointed today. I don’t want to comment much further.”
Machor player Niklas Stark (30) said the personnel at the TV station “Sky”: “Even if I knew it, I wouldn’t say it.” Zetterer is to be the successor of Kevin Trapp (35) in Frankfurt, who is about to switch to Paris FC. Only last weekend coach Steffen against Mio Backhaus (21) and Zetterer decided as the number one Bremer.
After top scorer Marvin Ducksch (31, Birmingham City) and Oliver Burke (28, Union Berlin) it would be the next bitter departure for Werder. With Samuel Mbangula (21) and Maximilian Wöber (27), the Bremeners only presented two new additions. “Something still has to happen, I have been saying that for weeks. We need more of everything. More quality,” said Captain Marco Friedl (27) at “Sky” and emphasized: “We all have to come on track. Otherwise it will be a very difficult year.”

The central defender immediately took out to be all -round. “I have to be careful what I’m saying now because I am just extremely eaten – even of everything around it. The performance as we performed was on the whole. We left you little or no action. But we simply missed it in the first half.
“Now after this defeat you are even more in the shit than how you might be after the preparation. After the preparation, everything would have been shit if you were fully on the point here today. But we didn’t have to be able to do that. And we just have to be careful because it doesn’t get easier in the league – rather 15 to 20 percent more difficult. It is still young, ”continued Friedl.
In preparation, the green-whites had previously remained five test games in a row without victory. “We are actively looking for ourselves, definitely want to do something,” announced sports director Fritz more transfers. Isaac Schmidt (25) from Leeds United should come as a further option for the right defense, but is still waiting for the release. According to “Sky”, the Bremen also deals with Elias Baum (19) by Eintracht Frankfurt, who was trained by coach Steffen last season at SV Elversberg. In addition, at least a replacement for Ducksch in the storm is needed and shortly for Zetterer in the goal.

“It must be the conviction – it is economic and sporty topics that need to be taken into account,” Fritz continued. “Sometimes you have to be a little more patient until the emission club may have paid a player.” However, the 44-year-old defended general criticism of the squad planning. “I think that everyone who was on the pitch here is for himself to be a Bundesliga player-and I don’t allow it to somehow put it on the squad.”
