After the happy entry into the relegation, Werder Bremen’s Chairman of the Supervisory Board, Marco Bode, has announced a thorough analysis.
“After the season – no matter how it turns out – we will deal with it again in great detail and then analyze it very openly and honestly and decide how to proceed, what insights we will take with us and also implement for the future,” said Bode in CHECK24 double pass on SPORT1.
That naturally also includes an assessment of whether the course of the season has affected the relationship between the team and coach Florian Kohfeldt in any way. “We will see whether something has happened that is problematic,” said Bode, who, despite the misery, justified the backing for the young coach as follows:
“We didn’t try to be loyal to our trainer at all costs. The Werder philosophy includes never giving up a trainer lightly. We were always convinced that he was a professionally good trainer and had good human qualities.” Kohfeldt identify strong with Werder and his job. “There was no reason to separate from him. However, there were various controversial discussions that were not easy, “Bode admitted.
But it remains a “very bad season” for Bremen. “The results speak for themselves, but we know where the main causes are,” said the Vice World Champion in 2002. “One point in our analysis will surely show that we seldom had our squad together and healthy on the pitch as we did wanted that. “
Bode: “Not extreme resistance” came from Cologne
The situation in Bremen is still tense before the relegation matches against 1. FC Heidenheim or Hamburger SV. “The situation remains difficult and there are still two difficult games ahead of us. Nothing has been achieved yet,” warned Bode. Werder delivered some very decent performances after the corona break. “Yesterday it came to the fact that after the first goals Cologne was an opponent, where you have already noticed, then there is not the extreme resistance.”
Now there would be two knockout games. “It starts over and we have it in our own hands now,” said Bode. “We are self-confident and want to and can do it. But we are also cautious and know that we have often had negative experiences after successes.”
In the club and in the team, everyone is aware that the pressure remains high: “We are still with one leg in the second division and have to make sure that we fix it. Whoever heard our coach yesterday will be have noticed that Florian Kohfeldt is now not leaving an inch of air. “
Pizarro gate would be “mad dream”
Should Claudio Pizarro ultimately score the decisive goal to stay in the class, that would be fairytale, of course, but not necessarily the intended Bremen scenario. “Claudio gets a huge farewell game. If someone else scores the decisive goal, it is just as good. It would be an insane dream if he could do something decisive again in the relegation,” said Bode about his former teammate.
Even the attacker Milot Rashica is no longer planning for the coming season: “The topic is too operational for me, I can’t say anything about it. Milot will probably leave us this summer, but there are still too many unanswered questions. “
