Weder Bremen Remains Optimistic

Posted on by Liam

With the new Bundesliga having initiated in full force, managers and players want to propel their respective clubs to success and glory and Werder Bremen is an interesting case as they managed to win the German League and the Cup 10 years ago but ever since accomplishing that major feat, things have started to fall apart.

Winning 2 major trophies in a single season exemplifies just how well a club is performing but it seems like Werder Bremen’s glory days are in the past and will not be arriving anytime soon as there still has not been a standout player within the current squad that can push Werder Bremen to the top of the league and make compete against the likes of: Bayern Munich or Borussia Dortmund.

Even the current manager of Werder Bremen, Robin Dutt he has admitted that seeing his club even being able to qualify, enter and compete in Europe would come as a surprise for himself and his players as they still aren’t ready for it.

“Werder Bremen are being made out to be too small. I do believe that, with the opportunities we’ve got here, we have got what it takes to challenge. It would be a big surprise.

After being asked if Werder Bremen has what it to takes to compete in the Europa League or Champions League, Dutt replied by saying:

‘’For that to happen, really so much would have to come together. We could do without any injury misfortune and the players would have to develop in the best possible way, and one or two of our rivals would have had to fail with their transfers.”

Robin Dutt still remains fairly optimistic about his chances in capturing a spot in the middle section in the German League but Europe remains out of their reach.

Werder Bremen has wrapped up their pre-season schedule of their tour in China as the Germans picked up friendly triumphs against Chinese Super League champions Changchun Yatai as well as defeating Tianjin TEDA.

The players and staff members of the German club were relieved and satisfied about all of the positive results they secured during their trip to China as the Sporting Director, Thomas Eichin and the head coach Robin Dutt expressed to the public when the journey was over.

Robin Dutt said: “The team’s excellent attitude has come to the fore again in China. We worked so hard that I was waiting every day for the lads to run out of steam, but they never did. It was like having ten Ronaldos’’

Sporting Director Thomas Eichin added on: “It’s been an exciting trip from all sorts of angles. Very few of us had been to China before. There were new experiences every day, we got to know the country and its people and it’s left a real impression on us. The conditions were extreme at times but we put in some decent work all the same. The pitches were in a good condition and we beat very handy opponents in our two friendlies. So from a sporting perspective as well, it’s been a fruitful trip.”

The pre-season of Werder Bremen still sees the German outfit having to play against: Leicester City FC, Chelsea FC, and Athletic Club. All of those matches will serve as preparation before the next campaign initiates in August as Werder Bremen wants to get prepared and secure a higher spot in the German League compared to the previous season when they managed on securing the 12th spot.

WERDER NEXT?

Werder Bremen are looking to add one more Chelsea player into their ranks after the general manager of the club revealed that they are trying their best to bring in Kevin De Bruyne from the Premier league outfit. They already have former Chelsea striker Franco di Santo on their books. The Argentine recently completed the free transfer move from Wigan and he has been a regular so far. Kevin De Bruyne has been linked with an exit from Chelsea after failing to get into the first team under José Mourinho. He started the season pretty well, but he has fallen out of favour in recent weeks.

This endangers his place in the Belgian national team ahead of the World Cup 2014. Hence, he is widely linked with a move away from the club in January at least on a six-month loan deal. A number of German clubs have expressed their interest in the player. Werder Bremen have joined the race and they could potentially get the player ahead of their competitors after having known him well from last season. De Bruyne spent last season on loan at Werder Bremen where he became the best young player in the Bundesliga.

“His (Kevin de Bruyne’s) player agent is aware of our interest in his services. I will be getting to know if there is a chance to re-sign Kevin de Bruyne on loan for our club. If this is possible, we will have to wait and see if such a deal can be really worked out. Everyone at Werder Bremen knows all about the quality of Kevin de Bruyne,” said Werder Bremen’s general manager. The player has made nine appearances for Chelsea this season and has scored one goal.

The club’s general manager has revealed that De Bruyne’s agent is aware of the interest from Werder Bremen.

DI SANTO IMPRESSES

The former Chelsea player Franco di Santo joined the German side Werder Bremen 4 months ago and has made 6 appearances so far with them scoring his debut goal in the Bundesliga during Werder Bremen’s 3-2 defeat against Mainz.

Arriving from the club he stayed and played in for 3 years, Wigan Athletic in which he made a large amount of first team appearances for the relegated Premier League club, his impact on the team was almost non-existent as he bagged 16 goals in 3 seasons.

After 45 minutes of the 2nd half the 24 years old Argentinean forward netted the 2nd goal for Werder Bremen and despite the late goal from him, his side ultimately had to settle to their defeat against Mainz as they keep on dropping points and getting into the lower spots of the standings.

Werder Bremen received Bayern Munich at the Weserstadion in order to play the 15th match of the Bundesliga but faced a disappointing 7-0 final result and now if the team of Robin Dutt wants to continue playing in the top flight league of Germany, a number of changes will be needed for them to avoid further negative results.

The general manager of Werder Bremen, Thomas Eichin confirmed their interest regarding Kevin de Bruyne.

‘’Kevin de Bruyne’s player agent is aware of our interest in his services. I will be getting to know if there is a chance to re-sign Kevin de Bruyne on loan for our club. If this is possible, we will have to wait and see if such a deal can be really worked out. Everyone at Werder Bremen knows all about the quality of Kevin de Bruyne’’. Thomas Eichin told Sky Sports.

WERDER WIN

Posted on by admin

Werder Bremen have been on a poor form in recent weeks in the Bundesliga, but they showed signs of recovery after managing a 3-2 win over Hannover 96 in the league. After the match, Werder Bremen manager Robin Dutt revealed that he is happy to have secured this important victory, which moves the club closer to the top half of the table. Bremen had not won in front of their home fans for the last four matches, which has been causing signs of discontent amongst the supporters.

There were expecting the worst when Hannover took the lead in the 20th minute through a penalty from Huszti, but a penalty from Hunt helped the home team get back on level terms after just five minutes. The 40th minute goal from Makiadi appeared to take them into the half-time break with the lead, but Hannover’s Sakai had other ideas, as he equalised after just a minute to send both teams level at half-time.

It stayed that way almost till the end of the match. It looked like Werder Bremen were going to drop more points at home, but Garcia stepped up to score the winner in the 89th minute to send the home fans crazy. Hannover were disappointed with the result especially given that they are targeting European qualification.

“Of course when you are under pressure to show your fans what you can do, and you keep getting draws, then it’s a huge weight off your shoulders to win. You can see that because it’s so much fun to work with this team when you then win. They work so much during the week, really pulling along, and we’ve got an excellent team spirit,” said Dutt. “We’ve got to take our chances better. It’s bitter to get punished so late on and this is a very frustrating defeat,” said Slomka.

SIGNS FOR WERDER

Posted on by admin

Former Chelsea striker Franco di Santo has signed for German club Werder Bremen on a free transfer after leaving Wigan athletic at the end of last season. This move brings an end to the spell in English football for the striker, who came as a youngster to Chelsea. He was signed for £ 3 million from Chelsea by the manager Roberto Martinez. The past few years has been extremely productive for the Argentine, as he has even been able to make his debut at the international level as well. The Argentine striker, though, did not want to play in the Championship.

Hence, he did not renew his contract with Wigan, who were relegated into the second division of English football last season. After searching for a new club in the last few weeks, the 24-year-old has decided to sign for Bundesliga club Werder Bremen. He made 92 league appearances during his time in England and he scored 13 goals. The Bundesliga club’s general manager, Thomas Eichin has said that the club had been searching for a hard-working striker, who could hold the ball up. He hopes that Di Santo proves to be the perfect signing that the club was looking for in this transfer window.

Prior to moving to England, Di Santo played for Audax Italiano.

“We had been in the hunt for a robust striker with experience in a big league. We are very confident that we have found a good solution in Franco Di Santo. He is experienced but still possesses enough potential for development in order to make a great leap forwards,” said Eichin. “Werder have a very good name and the Bundesliga is a very attractive league. I want to show what I am capable of here,” said the striker to the official site of Werder Bremen.
