Werder Bremen: Discussions about Bittencourt & Ducksch after the Cologne disaster!
BREMEN – Uli Werner has already put out the first signals – even during the 7-1 debacle of his team SV Werder Bremen at 1. FC Köln: Christian Groß and Marvin Ducksch were substituted at the break. It never happened to them so early in the Werner era. It is very likely that the six players and the striker will not be in the starting line-up for the first match against Union Berlin on Wednesday night (8:30 pm, on DeichStube live). In any case, it would be surprising if Werner did not make any post-disaster changes when the Bundesliga resumes. But what can he actually do? analysis:
employees: Ollie Werner Likes continuity, the coach relies mostly on an experienced staff. Not entirely voluntary. Because his choice is limited. The coach emphasized many times that the team is very tight and there are no real alternatives. His two presidents, Frank Bowman and Clemens Fritz, agree But for economic reasons, no player can SV Werder Bremen Bring him inside. This is honest, but also dangerous. Because it reveals Werder’s weaknesses and does not increase the self-confidence of the reservists. However, they also have to provide for themselves – great performance in training and after substitutions. Real competition for the starting line-up is currently rare in Werder’s squad. In defense, Niklas Stark and Amos Pieper are fighting for a place in the right central defence. Pieper should be given preference over Stark on Wednesday. Milos Veljkovic and above all else too Marco Friedel I played badly at Cologne, but who should do it better than them? It may also be obvious that the coach will take out an experienced World Cup participant or even a captain.
already read? This is what the starting line-up for Werder Bremen vs Union Berlin could look like!
Werder Bremen and the eternal theme of the Six: Is Ilia Gruev strong enough for Union Berlin? Niklas Stark as an alternative?
Also railway players Mitchell Weiser And Anthony Jung Untouchable despite a very poor performance in Cologne. It was a misstep for Weiser, he’s actually one of the better players Werder Bremen. and youth? He usually delivers solidly – and Lee Buchanan will be inexperienced against Berlin’s huge population.
There are already more change options in midfield Werder Bremen. The Six remains a hot topic – as it has been for years. Christian Gross There was the last time he held her Ollie Werner Get out early in cologne and Ilia Grove An order of eight to six. But will the young Bulgarian be the right choice against iron with their hardness? Why not try Werner there Nicholas Stark the end? The centre-back often took this position during his time at Hertha or at Nuremberg.
Leonardo Bettencourt should stay put despite his criticism of Werder Bremen’s predictability
Falls at eight Leonardo Bettencourt group – indeed. Because the 29-year-old swears by his poor performance in Cologne with an indirect criticism of the coach. The discount will have everything Werder Bremen He knew. “We were taken away in a flash,” said Bettencourt angrily., who obviously missed solutions from his coach. It was not good internally. But Bettencourt need not fear any consequences, Werner certainly wouldn’t start an open dispute with the vice-captain at this point. Hardly anyone pays. Romano Schmid is injured, Jens Steig still counted after the coach publicly denounced his tactical shortcomings still present in training camp.
He has better cards Nicholas Schmidt, who was allowed to play at half-time in Cologne, but was also unconvincing in midfield. Perhaps the 24-year-old would be better off in one position elsewhere – as a substitute Marvin Dukes, which seems completely off the mark this year. The striker has already behaved in a stress test at Schalke Werder Bremen Unfortunately, in Cologne he was then completely beside himself after his failed free-kick-trick, which led to 0:1. The change in this situation was said to have been discussed internally in the run-up to this game. indeed Ollie Werner held on Ducksch. Perhaps with the hope that at some point they will get along well again Niklas Filling Jug It will coordinate as before. But apart from ducking a corner to the Füllkrug goal, there was no sign of good teamwork.
Should Werder Bremen boss Uli Werner use more defensive tactics?
Offline attack Werder Bremen Actually just outside Niklas Filling Jug. Erin Dinky was allowed to prove himself in Ducksch’s favor after the break. But for all his willpower, the 21-year-old again lacked the conviction in his own strength to assert himself. It is clear that he is in the order of the attacker Oliver Burke Outdated. The Scot didn’t get a chance in Cologne. What is not surprising: Ollie Werner He recently complained that Burke was not always fully focused on training and that many processes had to be explained over and over again. Both sides are very unhappy at the moment.
tacticSystem: 3-5-2 Ollie Werner His predecessor, Marcus Begining, took over – and basically hasn’t changed much anymore. This is where his team feels most comfortable, the coach assures. A lot can be developed tactically from this. Werner relies on a man-oriented defense that sometimes requires a lot of guts and has become a particular problem at Cologne. normally works Werder Bremen The opponent is also very high, which can be very risky – and that was in the applause against Bayern (1:6) and in Cologne. Werner can turn that screw and allow his team to act more defensively.
After the Cologne disaster: Werder Bremen coach Uli Werner will demand a reaction against Union Berlin
On the other hand, it is practically impossible to change the system to a series of four. The team does not give out that, for example, the right defender is missing. Mitchell Weiser is a very good track player, but not a linebacker. Staff is also missing for Triple Storm Werder Bremen. In Benjamin Goller, for example, the only real winger was sold to 1. FC Nürnberg.
the speech: in Cologne have found Ollie Werner Clear words after the disaster, but he did not angrily criticize the team. Internally, it is sometimes very loud. However, the 34-year-old is not a work buddy. He has repeatedly emphasized that a coach, for better or for worse, must have a reliable method based primarily on an objective view of the situation. Werner will definitely play against 1. FC Union Berlin Clearly demanding a response, but players Werder Bremen So don’t yell at them or walk over hot coals. (knee)
