An eventful year of Bundesliga action has now come to an end, and SV Werder Bremen currently sit six points clear of the relegation zone in 13th place. Nevertheless, head coach Ole Werner admitted in the end-of-year interview that the past twelve months could have gone better in terms of the number of points collected by Green-Whites and their inconsistent performances. We’re using the time between Christmas and the New Year to take a look back on the best stats, dates and facts from 2023.

One player Tuchel has been paying special attention to is Leroy Sané. Tuchel has been rumored to be observing the German attacker since his Manchester City days. Sané has been playing centrally under Nagelsmann, however, the new coach plans to implement Sané as a winger where he can improve.

The DFL has scheduled eight matchdays shortly before Christmas. That includes five TSG Hoffenheim home games – of which two will be played on Saturdays and three will take place on Sundays. The home game against VfL Stuttgart will be the focus of particular attention: the clash with the Swabians is the Matchday 26 game of the round and will kick off at the PreZero Arena at 18:30 CET on 16 March. The clashes against 1. FC Heidenheim (27 January) and Union Berlin (17 February) will begin at 15:30 CET on Saturdays, while Werder Bremen will pay a visit at 17:30 CET on Sunday 3 March.

Freiburg are currently enjoying a remarkable run. In addition to their historic reaching of the last 16 of the Europa League, with 27 points after 14 games, SCF are enjoying the most successful start to a Bundesliga season in their history.

The Black & Yellows had been put through their paces in a training session in Brixen im Thale on Thursday morning. At 18:00 CET, they were all set to face Lommel SK in Salzburg. Awaiting them were a tidy footballing side who also present a robust physical challenge. Both teams started the match with one objective in mind: try to create chances right from the first kick of the ball. The Belgians proved more successful in the first half. Lommel enjoyed more possession, and fashioned several good opportunities to score the opening goal. The Black & Yellows’ best chance before the break came in the 43rd minute, as Michael Eberwein played in Falko Michel, who was unable to finish past the keeper. 

Like teammate Joshua Kimmich, he knows that the inconsistencies in game performances (good vs PSG, bad vs Leverkusen) contributed to a change of guard at the helm. “We had great games like PSG followed by average ones like Leverkusen. That cannot happen at FC Bayern. We all here have to do better,” Goretzka said.
