After a highly competitive home win against Stuttgart, is it Bayer04 on Sunday against the next "crisis club". Again, a big name. Another club that was very successful in recent years. Another club that is expected this season in the cellar table. Werder Bremen.
First there were the obvious topics : coaching change in Bremen is not an issue, or at least ? New contract for Klaus Allofs? The dip in form by Per Mertesacker. To a certain Mr. Özil you think there already any more. He believes in Werder .
Away from today's developments, I would rather take a look back: In the Bremen squad, one finds also an old Leverkusen - cocktail bar owners Clemens Fritz . He is from Erfurt, a former national player Marco Engelhardt he knows from school times and he then made his breakthrough at Bayer 04.
stuck in my mind but quite another 'break' is. A scene from the Bayer04 anniversary tournament for the 100-year club anniversary. In the game against the rise of food RW Clemens Fritz was initially stopped abruptly: Wade broken leg in front of the D-pad. It looked even in the stands rather painful. Result, multiple operations, eternally long rehabilitation measures and not a league game in the season 2004/2005. No sooner had he returned to Leverkusen kick gefasst, zog es ihn dann an die Weser. Dort wurde er zum Nationalspieler und gehörte 2008 zum EM-Kader von Jogi Löw. Davon scheint er heute jedoch meilenweit entfernt zu sein.
Eigentlich spielt Clemens Fritz auf der rechten Außenverteidiger Position. Letzte Woche im Nordderby-Debakel folgte er jedoch dem "Vorbild" von Gonzo Castro und agierte im offensiven Mittelfeld. Wiederholung im Spiel gegen Bayer 04? Wahrscheinlich. Die Bremer haben nur noch einen Punkt Vorsprung auf den Relegationsplatz und haben nach dem 0:4 in Hamburg einiges gut zu machen. Welches Gesicht wird Werder am Sonntag zeigen: Verunsicherung oder Trotz? Torsten Frings hat die 5. Gelbe kassiert, womit the people of Bremen a leader on the field is missing. Life insurance in recent weeks, mostly Claudio Pizarro, the Leverkusen back line is sure to give some concern.
The omens could hardly be more different: Leverkusen with a broad chest after the victories in the Bundesliga and the Euro-League. Bremen, however uncertain in the table basement. As well as personnel concerns.
In Bayer04 have Bender and Balitsch logged . Da Costa is in his proper debut in the Euro-League back in the squad. Good news for 007: Barnetta can slowly re-enter after his injury in training.
It ran last year in Bremen:
four (!) Minutes of injury time and the equalizer by Per Mertesacker. This a great goal from Toni Kroos (who sits in this season in Munich on the bench), one can worse moment for Rene Adler and the evidence that Mr Derdiyok also shoot free kicks. Sometimes.
Facts, facts, interviews the game:
- A certain Tim Wiese from Bergisch Gladbach, returns to the Werder goal. We remember that he had used Bayern striker Thomas Müller a frustrating loss. meadow appears in an interview with the local paper but Syker no recipe to have as Werder again can be useful:
"I am - honestly - even at a loss, we have made so many analyzes Maybe we need to do this a victory that has been missing at our end.. , the forces liberating. " (Tim Wiese, "descent? Unthinkable!" )
- Leverkusen scored as many goals (48) had to suffer like Bremen.
- 4 of last 5 meeting of the two teams ended in a draw (including Bayer's last spell in Bremen, see above)
