A brace, and Niclas Füllkrug takes the afternoon — 8.77
There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Niclas Füllkrug provided it, and the 8.77 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

Tempers go at Werder Bremen
Victor Boniface was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Niklas Stark wants more than Werder Bremen are offering
“I have ambitions, and I would like the club to share them.” Nobody has asked to leave and nobody has been shown the door — but a player chooses that sentence carefully, and a boardroom hears it exactly as it was meant.

Marco Friedl falls out with a teammate over standards
The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Niclas Füllkrug sends Werder Bremen past Eintracht Frankfurt
It finished 2‑0, and it was Niclas Füllkrug’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Werder Bremen.

Werder Bremen promote Richard Kühn from within
The academy exists for exactly this morning. Richard Kühn has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Paul Weber steps up from the Werder Bremen academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Paul Weber has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

A satisfied Tim Schneider
“The players deserve the credit. My job was easy today.” It was not, and everybody in the room knew it; after 2‑0, Tim Schneider could afford to be generous.

The manager makes an example of Kenny Quetant
“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.
