Bremen – The pictures and impressions from last Sunday – they still have an effect on Ole Werner. In any case, the coach of SV Werder Bremen has not yet come to terms with what happened after the perfect promotion to the Bundesliga in the Weser Stadium and later on the Osterdeich. “I haven’t really come down yet,” admitted the 34-year-old on Thursday – and stated: “It will take a while before I fully understand what was going on. People everywhere! There wasn’t a meter of ground to see.”
An entire city celebrated in green and white. “Being there is something unique for everyone,” enthused Ole Wernerthe right after rise however, is already facing the next big challenge. It applies to the new squad for the first year after Bundesliga– to plan return. This should also be an ongoing topic during Werner’s vacation in Sardinia. “My phone will remain on for the next few weeks, at least for a few hours a day. We have a lot to do,” he said Trainerwhich in transfer planning from Werder Bremen a special role.

In Amos Pieper is the first newcomer after the Bundesliga–rise already fixed. On Wednesday, Werder announced the signing of the 24-year-old central defender, who comes on a free transfer from Arminia Bielefeld – and his decision for Bremen specifically because of that Ole Werner has met. “The conversation with Ole was very important for the player,” said sports director Frank Baumann to the DeichStube. Pieper also reported a “very, very good feeling” that the exchange with the coach gave him. “I show the players how I imagine Werder football and explain to them how I assess them. It’s about showing the players a perspective for the future,” he said Trainer von Werder Bremenbut whose work begins much earlier.

For head of sport Baumann and head of professional football Clemens Fritz, he creates exact position profiles that record where and in what form Werner sees a need for reinforcements. A lot of paper is likely to be needed for this this summer, because: “With the exception of the goalkeeper position, we’re looking at all parts of the team,” revealed Ole Werner. Although he has Kader a “certain framework of players who have already proven their quality in the first division”. And yet should be in defence, midfield and attack as possible player that “are really reinforcements for us”. Of the rise On the one hand, this makes transfers in this category necessary in the first place, because after all, Werder wants to be able to keep up in the upper house. On the other hand, it can be used as a strong argument to attract players from Werder Bremen to convince. “Of course it opens rise certain doors in terms of personnel,” emphasized Werner, who relies heavily on the expertise of chief analyst Tom Cichon when looking for new players.
If Baumann and Fritz Werner have presented a list of suitable candidates based on his position profiles, the coach takes them player under the magnifying glass together with Cichon. “As the interface to the coaching team, Tom often has the first look at it,” explained Ole Werner. Of course, these processes are not set in stone. “Sometimes I also hear that a player should no longer be satisfied with his club and throw his name into the ring,” said Werner. Personal relationships play for him Trainer von Werder Bremen it doesn’t matter.
On the contrary: In Werner’s eyes it can be quite problematic player to get, with whom one has a common past. “Sometimes that’s not such a happy situation for the player,” emphasized Ole Werner. The impression that the desired player of the Trainers being, could become a problem for a professional. Both towards the players and in public. For comparison: Werner’s predecessor, Markus Beginning, was at Werder Bremen set a different focus and in Nicolai Rapp, Marvin Ducksch and Lars Lukas Mai gathered three of his ex-players around him last summer.

How exactly the Bremen Kader whatever looks like in the end, in one point makes itself Ole Werner No illusions: Werder’s role will change in the new year compared to the second division season. “It’s no secret that we will meet teams with better players,” he said Trainer. “And yet we have to continue to stand for our identity, which we have built up with great effort. In other words, for attacking football where you don’t hide Bundesliga often find themselves in the role of outsider, which is not a problem for Werner: “We will certainly not have 65 percent possession of the ball every week, sometimes maybe only 40 or 45 percent. But there should be a lot in it Werder Bremen put. We want to stay true to ourselves as often as possible.”
The interpersonal, the great cohesion in the Kaderwhat made the team strong in the 2nd league should also be in the Bundesliga be conserved. “It will be important because you know that there will be nothing to celebrate for a week or two,” said Ole Werner. In this respect it is perhaps not bad at all that the pictures of the ascent Werder Bremen and Werner still have a strong impact – could be a support after annoying defeats in the future. (dco)
