Bremen – For Maximilian Eggestein it is a “sport phenomenon”, said the SV Werder Bremen professional after the 6-1 victory against 1. FC Köln: “If things go badly, you will get into a whirlpool like this. And when it runs, it suddenly runs like clockwork. ”
It actually looked that simple against Cologne, but that was also due to guests already in vacation mode. But it’s that simple for you Florian Kohfeldt not, the Werder coach gave other reasons for his team’s new goal. And it’s more than just that Filling jug effect.
“It was the first time this season that Niclas Füllkrug, Yuya Osako und Milot Rashica could play together, ”Kohfeldt emphasized. Until now, this was not possible due to injury, which was mainly due to the cruciate ligament rupture in Füllkrug in mid September. But Osako and Rashica also had their problems. “Yuya is finally back in the same physical condition as at the beginning of the season,” said Kohfeldt.
Werder Bremen: Suddenly Milot Rashica dribbles again through the opposing defense
And thanks to other alternatives (such as a filling jug), he no longer had to bring it as the only tip. “He feels too alone there,” said the coach. And it cannot be overlooked how Osako has blossomed in recent weeks. In the last four games he has scored four goals and prepared another one.
Against Cologne he managed the important lead (22nd), then Milot Rashica followed (27th). It was the Kosovar’s first Bundesliga goal for Werder since 8 December when (Warning, how appropriate) 1: 6 against Bayern. This gate was more than just a bottle of balm on his battered striker soul, it was a whole canister. Suddenly Rashica dribbled again through the opposing line of defense – as before 4: 0, when the ball landed on the post, but then from Davy Klaassen was pressed over the line (55.).
Werder Bremen: Niclas Füllkrug gives you goose bumps in the Weser Stadium
In between had a certain Nicla’s mug once again for a goose bump feeling in the empty Weser Stadium worried. Nine months after his cruciate ligament rupture, he had already succeeded in making a comeback in Paderborn, and now he also made his debut in his starting line-up – in Friedl’s cross in the best center-forward manner (29). Immediately one shot in the head: What would have happened if this mug had played all season?
That also played a role in Kohfeldt’s mind after the rescue from the direct relegation. “I am not surprised that we can play this football. We have always emphasized that our strikers are of this quality, ”said the 37-year-old, explaining:“ It’s also a good mix with a dynamic striker like Josh Sargent or Nicla’s mug or Davie Selke, a playing striker like Yuya Osako and a striker at the speed of a rashica. And this interaction really did us good today. ”The fact that he actually mentioned Selke is remarkable. Winter shopping from Berlin has been totally disappointing so far, and was only allowed to warm up against Cologne. But Kohfeldt wants to Relegation thriller keep all options open, maybe a Selke is still needed.
Werder Bremen striker Josh Sargent had missed cleverness in the penalty area for a long time
After all, it’s still a certain Vabanque game with Nicla’s mug – not because of his knee. The doctors gave the green light. But after such a long break, other problems like to arise. That’s why Kohfeldt is also careful, taking the striker out for a break after a strong performance. He hadn’t even made it easy for him to start, and had previously asked the player he had coached in his youth: “I know him so well that I know he would do anything to play. He would also tell me in pain: coach, everything is fine, let me play! That’s why I got more information. “
At Josh Sargent it wasn’t necessary, the young American is absolutely fit. His problem: the goal. But that should also change. After Osakos 5-0 (58th) Dominick Drexler had shortened for Cologne (62nd). The all-important four-goal lead seemed suddenly in danger, but Sargent quickly restored the old gap with a lot of assertiveness and clever conclusion – 6: 1 (68th). The 20-year-old had missed this lightness in the penalty area for a long time at Werder Bremen.
Werder Bremen suddenly scored after just nine goals in 16 home games
But maybe that’s how it is when a team suddenly becomes one after only nine goals in 16 home games Torrausch plays. It’s actually quite simple, but that’s not exactly it. And Florian Kohfeldt knows only too well that there is no guarantee of a continuation. “It sounds like a press conference after sixth or seventh place,” he said after the many positive questions about the video switch: “Not that the wrong tongue comes in here. We have not achieved anything yet. “
But for the upcoming relegation, this sporting development and the rediscovered goal scoring of SV Werder Bremen is very important: “The team knows that we are ahead of these positions Tore can shoot – and every single player up front knows that too. ”(kni)
