After the victory in Düsseldorf, Werder Bremen wanted to take the next step out of the table cellar in the home game against 1899 Hoffenheim. But things turned out very differently, also because of the hair-raising defensive actions by the Hanseatic League.
Attacking far too harmless, and defensive a catastrophe: Werder Bremen presented itself on Sunday (26.01.2020) at the sobering appearance against 1899 Hoffenheim. The defeat sealed the Bremen themselves. First Davy Klaassen met in a clarification attempt after a corner kick into his own goal (65.). Then Ömer Toprak and goalkeeper Jiri Pavlenka favored the 0-2 by Christoph Baugartlinger (79.) with a voting problem. Substitute Sargis Adamyan made the final decision with the 0: 3 (83.).
Just one home win this season
The Bremen mini-boom has now stopped after the away win in Düsseldorf. The team of coach Florian Kohfeldt continues to rank relegation place 16 with 17 points. Only one home win so far this season is the record of a relegation candidate. After the somewhat flattering victory with 30 points, Hoffenheim is in seventh contact with the Europa League places.
Vogt: “Two such egg gates”
Bremen’s entry Kevin Vogt, who, despite a slight concussion from the game against Dusseldorf, was burning for a game against his former club a week ago, said after the final whistle on the ARD microphone: “0: 3 is a hard result in my eyes. Me think we were the better and more active team until 0-1. And then you get two balls like that and that’s two hits in the neck. “
Very weak first half
In a yawning boring first half, Bremen had more of the game, but the best chance came from the guests. Andrej Kramaric (17th) managed a shot left in the penalty area past Werder goalkeeper Pavlenka, but only hit the outside net. Bremen continued to strive, but the game forward seemed completely uninspired.
Hoffenheim radiated more goals in his few attempts at counterattacks, but did not provide any real highlights either. Israeli attack Munas Dabbur remained pale, making his Bundesliga debut and being replaced after an hour.
Hardly more than effort
Highlights were few and far between in the second half. Except for their efforts, the Bremen team brought practically nothing to the pitch. Pace, moments of surprise, combination security or the risk of scoring a goal had to be booked under the heading “No report”. “The game in the last third was bad, of course,” admitted Werder’s coach Kohfeldt.
Brief rearing up after the residue
The Bremen attack attempts only became somewhat more determined and aggressive when Klaassen involuntarily took the lead for Hoffenheim. Milot Rashica just missed after a quick attack on the right (68th). An attempt to shoot Klaassen was blocked (78th).
Then the lack of planning reigned. The game was decided when Baumgartlinger on the pentagon with the hoe hit Pavlenka and Toprak lying on the ground after a poorly coordinated rescue attempt. The final point was made by Adamyan, who got away after a throw-in and marked the third goal with a deflected shot from 14 meters.
Bremen’s relegation battle continues on Saturday (February 1st, 2020) at 3:30 p.m. at FC Augsburg. Hoffenheim then has Bayer 04 Leverkusen at home at the same time.
