Trainer Florian Kohfeldt wants to make it easier for Werder Bremen with “clear action patterns”. In the short training camp in Leipzig there are instructions for the relegation battle.
Bremen – The schedule was pretty tight, and therefore did Florian Kohfeldt on Wednesday something he doesn’t normally do: he asked for the press conference to end soon. “I sit on the bus for five hours and have to eat something beforehand,” said the coach of the SV Werder Bremen during the media round before the away game at RB Leipzig. For 25 minutes he had already answered the journalists’ questions – three more questions, then please should be over.
Werder Bremen in the crisis training camp
An understandable request, after all, the big issues had already been worked through. In the center: Werders Short training camp in Leipzig, where the team left immediately after the press conference. Hence Kohfeldt’s request to gradually come to an end. This should also have been good for his voice, because until the game in Leipzig he will do one thing above all: talk.
“We will speak in different constellations,” announced Kohfeldt, who had a training session with his players on Thursday and Friday on the Viertligist site BSG Chemie Leipzig plans and wants to theoretically tie down a lot in between and afterwards. For example, there will be a large team meeting in Werder’s quarter, the five-star Steigenberger Hotel, and smaller rounds with so-called “position groups”, in which the individual team members are prepared for their tasks.
Werder Bremen: Clear action patterns for difficult situations
Another aspect is that one meetingswho, according to Kohfeldt, will lead both himself and his assistant coaches as well as sports director Frank Baumann and scouting boss Clemens Fritz. All of this should serve to focus on the Leipzig game, but also on the difficult weeks afterwards. Kohfeldt: “I hope the training camp will have an effect that does not only target one game.” On the contrary: Werder Bremen if you want to get new tools for the last 13 games (Kohfeldt: “There are 13 chances”). The magic word is: action pattern.
Kohfeldt wants to give his team clear instructions for different game situations. “That will be the way now: to come across actions that have been discussed before,” he said. Last season, Werder proceeded very similarly and solved a problem. “We had a lot of trouble getting out of the break in the first half of the season and conceded too many goals after half-time,” recalled Kohfeldt.
Werder Bremen: 13 chances for relegation
“I pointed this out to the players 100 times, I shouted at them in the cabin and had them do extra sprints during the break, but it didn’t work. The solutions were clear patterns of action“That meant specifically at the time: Kohfeldt instructed his players, among other things,” to always play the first two balls for a long time, so that we could counterpress. “
A clear mandate not to be misunderstood. When in doubt, this can make things much easier, can provide orientation on the court and counteract uncertainty. “We are trying similar approaches now,” said Florian Kohfeldt, who of course knows that Werder’s current problem – 17th place in the table, only 17 points and only the 13 chances in front of his chest – is far larger and more threatening than too many goals conceded directly after the break.
Werder Bremen: plans against uncertainty after setbacks
But there have already been initial successes, not that long ago, keyword: cup match against Borussia Dortmund. “We had discussed exactly what we were going to do when it was 1-2. And it worked, ”said Kohfeldt, who (finally) wants to give his players the feeling that they can continue to act even after setbacks plan to be able to hold “so that there is no lethargy on the court.”
Werder Bremen That was exactly what happened again and again this season, most recently in the 0: 2 against Union Berlin. A clean sheet, uncertainty, defeat – this is the blueprint for many Bremen defeats in the 2019/2020 season. Kohfeldt’s hope: things should finally get better in Leipzig. (DCO)

New ways to success? Werder Bremen is planning an anti-crisis camp before the Leipzig game
Bremen – On Saturday, at the moment of anger and disappointment, a lot of things sounded like a big deal at the SV Werder Bremen on. Sports Director Frank Baumann announced after the 0-2 home bankruptcy that the players would now “tackle more sharply” and “count publicly”.
In the formerly paradisiacally calm green and white realm, noise was on the way. But this noise is then kept away from the public and should not leak out. “Some measures will be seen, some will not. And some things will also be noticeable for the players, ”says Baumann. One action that everyone would recognize would be this: To focus on the upcoming away game at Herbstmeister RB Leipzig prepare, the SV Werder Bremen very likely to leave the Hanseatic city and a short but several days training camp Respectively.
Werder Bremen: Probably it will go to the short training camp on Wednesday
Where and when exactly this anti-crisis camp will take place is not yet clear and should only be discussed with the team on Tuesday. But it will probably start on Wednesday after the training in Bremen – destination: somewhere where it makes sense and Leipzig is not infinitely far away.
There it will not be about punishing the players for two days, “but to improve our performance,” says Frank Baumann: “We don’t just want to hit it hard, we have to find a middle ground and build confidence again. We need a certain harshness, but we also need work in terms of content and optimism. “Because with the confidence it is such a thing. It is disappearing more and more among fans, given the situation with only three points from the past eight games and 17th place in the table, this is easy to understand. And why should players feel that differently than outsiders?
Werder Bremen: professionals not professional enough
In order to turn this feeling, it now takes the mixture of hardness and encouragement that Baumann is talking about. Nobody would have to leave Bremen to treat the players with it. However, in order to focus fully on the game, obviously. Because the real message behind a short training camp is that the professionals are not professional enough. That they are not sufficiently concerned with the situation they are in. That they let themselves be distracted by family, friends, everyday things. Coach Florian Kohfeldt had already hinted after the bankruptcy against Union that he suspected his staff was not adequately involved in the way the opponent played.

What would be a certificate of poverty. Or rather without a subjunctive: it is one. The fact that Werder is planning the short training camp shows how big the deficits in the team are. Baumann says it like this: “We cannot let everything go on like this. We have to react to the situation. “
Werder Bremen tumbles from 16th to 17th place
The sports director had already explained that this was dramatic Werder Bremen dropped from 16th to 17th place. Seen in this way, it has become even more dramatic. Especially since the impact of the 3-2 cup coup over Borussia Dortmund, which was classified as so valuable and energizing, simply fizzled out. Instead of using the momentum, it set the worst possible setback. The Bremen team thrown away everything that could be interpreted as good in the cup surprise. And lost another piece of her belief that it will get better this season.
Can two or three days of foreclosure change that? “Of course there is no guarantee that everything will be better in a short training camp”, Baumann also concedes. But they have to do something about Werder Bremen, Nothing else has worked so far. (CSA)
