Bundesliga commentary: Werder Bremen presents a fatal overall picture

Ole Werner said a sentence on Tuesday evening that was intended to be uplifting, but may not be taken that way everywhere. Werner explained that his team is “further along in many ways than it was six months ago.” It is possible that football fans from Bremen were startled when they heard this interim report. Power of habit. Because his team was SV Werder for three and a half years, and the core content of the sentence should also sound very familiar to them: Under coach Werner, the Bremen team had improved almost every six months. Promotion to the first division, stabilization in the upper house, then narrowly missed the European Cup twice. Everything went according to plan. And almost everyone was satisfied.
