SV Werder Bremen Haberleri

The SV Werder players began preparations on Wednesday for the upcoming away match on Saturday (15:30 CEST) against Hertha BSC. Head coach Ole Werner was without goalscorer Niclas Füllkrug and defender Milos Veljkovic in the first training session.

It has been a special week for Maximilian Philipp. The striker made his debut start for SV Werder against SC Freiburg, in which he was able to celebrate scoring a goal but not a win as Werder were defeated 2-1 in the end. Immediately after the game, the 29-year-old, along with his teammates, turned his focus to the upcoming task: the away match against Hertha BSC, which also meant a return to his former club.

Dejected, contemplative, disappointed. The full time whistle on Sunday afternoon left behind glum-looking Werdaners, both on the pitch and in the stands. The Green-Whites proved that they at the very least play on a level with a team in the Champions League places, but were missing a few small things for a share of the points. The 2-1 defeat to SC Freiburg wasn’t the first time that small details have cost the team points. “Frustration and concern are the wrong words for me at this point,” explained head coach Ole Werner speaking to the media.

SV Werder Bremen lost 2-1 (0-0) at home to SC Freiburg and despite taking the lead came away without any points. After both sides couldn’t produce much quality in the first half, the Green-Whites had success straight after the restart. Maximilian Philipp scored after a great pass from Leonardo Bittencourt to make it 1-0 (46’), but this gave the visitors from Freiburg added motivation. First, Roland Sallai equalised to make it 1-1 (66’), before Lucas Höler scored the decisive goal to make it 2-1 (71’). In the end, Ole Werner’s team didn’t manage to come back despite having chances.

There were mixed emotions again for SV Werder after the 2-1 defeat against SC Freiburg. The Green-Whites played well against the team in fifth place and took the lead through Maximilian Philipp. As has been the case in recent weeks, however, they caused their own downfall and conceded two goals within a few minutes, which was how the match ended. Here are the reactions to the defeat.
