Match14 Apr 2029

The derby belongs to Werder Bremen

2‑1 against Hamburger SV, and the songs went on long after the whistle. League positions come and go; days like this get retold at family dinners for years.

Player ratings16 Apr 2029

A derby belongs to Salim Musah

Beat anybody else and it is three points. Beat them and it is a story a city tells for a decade. Werder Bremen have their man.

Squad16 Apr 2029

Konrad Laimer in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Werder Bremen this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Player ratings16 Apr 2029

Chuki runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 23. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Match14 Apr 2029

Whatever happens, Werder Bremen do not lose

6 games unbeaten now. Some were earned and some were survived, but a habit is forming — and habits are the hardest thing in football to play against.

Squad16 Apr 2029

Luca Philipp gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Squad16 Apr 2029

Defences have started doubling up on Jonas Hofmann

5 goals and a season average of 7.35 will do that. The space he used to find has gone; he keeps scoring anyway, which is the mark of the real thing.

Loan watch16 Apr 2029

Kenny Quetant wants to come home

“I did not go to VfL Wolfsburg to sit and watch. I want to come back to Werder Bremen and fight for my place.” 3 appearances in 43 matches say the rest.

Market16 Apr 2029

The Karim Coulibaly story refuses to die

It has been denied twice and printed three times, which is the usual arithmetic. Until Karim Coulibaly signs something — a contract at Werder Bremen or anywhere else — this column belongs to him.

From our football correspondent Upbeat

Squad19 Feb 2029

Laurenz Orgler keeps Werder Bremen in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 7 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Squad19 Feb 2029

Mitchell Weiser says Werder Bremen went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Player ratings19 Feb 2029

Samuel Mbangula runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 24. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad19 Feb 2029

Konrad Laimer in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Werder Bremen this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match17 Feb 2029

Fer Niño sends Werder Bremen past St. Pauli

It finished 2‑1, and it was Fer Niño’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Werder Bremen.

Player ratings19 Feb 2029

One of those days for Fer Niño

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.89, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Player ratings19 Feb 2029

Romano Schmid in the eights

A performance of 8.52 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

Player ratings19 Feb 2029

A masterclass from Jonas Hofmann

Marked 8.36 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.

Loan watch19 Feb 2029

Kenny Quetant has seen enough of VfL Wolfsburg

“I am grateful for the games, but I did not become a footballer to be somebody else's spare part.” He wants to be at Werder Bremen, and 2 appearances in 35 say he has earned the hearing.

Werder Bremen see off Borussia Dortmund

Three points for Werder Bremen, 4‑2 the final word against Borussia Dortmund in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Loan watch18 Sep 2028

Kenny Quetant counts the days

“I watch every Werder Bremen game from here. That says everything about where my head is.” The loan at VfL Wolfsburg runs its course, but his heart never made the trip.

Squad18 Sep 2028

The manager makes an example of Mitchell Weiser

“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.

Squad18 Sep 2028

Iza asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

Player ratings18 Sep 2028

Nobody could get near Justin Njinmah

Successful dribbles: 9. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad27 Mar 2028

Romano Schmid is carrying Werder Bremen

18 goals and a season average of 7.48. Form like that gets noticed well beyond this town.

AIK are about to pick up the phone

A conversation is coming this week. Werder Bremen will put a number on him, and from there it stops being football and becomes arithmetic.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad24 Jan 2028

A one-man rearguard from Tiago Pereira Cardoso

There were 9 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Match19 Jan 2028

Werder Bremen out of the cup

Borussia Dortmund ended it 1‑2. The season narrows to the league now, and everyone in the ground knew it before the final whistle.

Market24 Jan 2028

David Schnegg puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Werder Bremen, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad24 Jan 2028

Mitchell Weiser keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Werder Bremen may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Squad24 Jan 2028

Tempers go at Werder Bremen

Konrad Laimer 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.

Squad24 Jan 2028

Germán Berterame is in the form of his life

A season average of 7.23 with 14 goals behind it. Opponents have started planning around him, which is the sincerest compliment football pays.
