Bayern Impressed as Werder Bremen’s Backup Goalkeeper Hein Shines
MUNICH – Werder Bremen’s backup goalkeeper, โฃMichael Hein, has earned high praise even from rival Bayern Munich following a standout performance โขin their recent match.The โdisplay has sparked โdiscussion โaboutโ Bremen’s โgoalkeeping situation,though coach Ole Werner maintains his commitment to โฃcurrent number one,jiri Pavlenka.
Hein wasโ unexpectedlyโข thrust into the spotlight due to an injury to Pavlenka, and seized the opportunity, โdelivering a performance that nearly โคthwarted bayern’s attack. bayern’s board member Jan-Christian Dreesen โacknowledged Hein’s impact, stating, “I thought that especially the goalkeeper from Werder, and it’s theโ second one becauseโ the first โคis injured, played a โคvery, very good game. We certainly could have won by a larger margin orโ else.” This โrecognitionโ underscores โคthe growing confidence in Bremen’s goalkeeping depth.
Despite the praise, Werderโ Bremen coach Steffen Werner has affirmed that โpavlenka remains the โขteam’s first-choice goalkeeper. “he did a super job and โขwe are very happy to have such a good goalkeeping team. But โwe started the season with Mio as number โฃ1 and that โwill notโฃ change afterโ one โฃgame,” Werner stated.
Though,Pavlenka’s return toโค theโข lineup is not imminent. Werner revealed โขthat Pavlenka is experiencing shoulder discomfort. “Mio has โsomething going onโค with the ligaments in his shoulder. I โคcan’t say for sureโข yet, but I โคdon’t think he will be fit againโค for the game against St. Pauli (Saturday,โ 3:30 PM),” Werner explained.
Werner โคalso emphasized the need for Bremen to address recurringโค errors that have hindered their ability toโ secure points. The team will need to minimize mistakes and ball losses to โimprove their chances against St. Pauli and beyond.
