“Difficult to score against us”

What a perfect way to start the celebrations for Werder’s 125th anniversary! SV Werder Bremen were able to bring home all three points from the MEWA ARENA after a 1-0 win that Marco Friedl described as “incredibly physical and horrible” in his post-match interview. Despite this, the Green-Whites were strong out of possession and clinical when attacking, which allowed them to deservedly come out on…

Magic Marvin secures all three points in Mainz

SV Werder Bremen came out on top on Saturday afternoon and are now on a seven-game unbeaten streak after defeating 1. FSV Mainz 05 1-0 at the MEWA ARENA. Ducksch opened the scoring for the Green-Whites just two minutes after kick-off, and the boys defended tirelessly throughout the first half. The game was neck and neck after the break, with the hosts applying pressure and threatening the Werder…

Looking to continue the unbeaten run

Even though 1. FSV Mainz 05’s only win of the season came almost three months ago, head coach Ole Werner is cautious and is expecting a “tough task” at the MEWA ARENA on Saturday, 3rd Feburary at 15:30 CET. However, SV Werder are focused on remaining unfazed by the challenge ahead of them, and are intent on picking up points for the seventh game running.

“It’s up to us to produce it on the pitch”

Thursday was a busy one on the Weser. The official unveiling of new signing Skelly Alvero had barely finished, but the next press conference quickly followed suit, this time with Ole Werner looking ahead to Saturday’s away game. The head coach was of course asked about his brand-new midfielder, but also gave his thoughts on the duel with struggling 1. FSV Mainz 05.

“An incredible opportunity”

Skelly Alvero’s first few days at SVW have been nothing short of action-packed. Upon his move to Bremen on Wednesday, the Frenchman underwent a full medical, signed his contract and had a photo shoot at the wohninvest WESERSTADION. Thursday’s schedule was equally as full, which saw Alvero complete his first training session with the team, before heading straight to the mixed zone to make his first…

The 21-year-old has moved on loan from Olympique Lyonnais to the Weser for the rest of the season. WERDER.DE and WERDER.TV caught up with the new boy for an interview and spoke with him about his journey to SVW, his goals in Green and White and the…

Two minutes, two touches and a goal

It’s a crazy story. Bundesliga debutant Julian Malatini hadn’t even been on the pitch for two minutes when he slotted home to make it 3-1. Even the 22-year-old himself was a bit taken aback following his decisive goal in the 3-1 win over SC Freiburg: “I was suddenly in a position where I don’t usually find myself,” the Argentinean explained shortly after the game. As long as it benefits the…

This was the Green-Whites’ second consecutive win, something which they never would have fathomed in the first-half of the season. Julian Malatini made his dream debut and Michael Zetterer stood between the sticks on his ninth anniversary of signing for the club. Today was “just unreal”…

Victory in our first home game of 2024

SV Werder Bremen came out on top in their opening home fixture of the calendar year in a 3-1 victory over SC Freiburg on Saturday afternoon, which was their second win on the trot.

Keep the unbeaten run going

After last weekend’s 1-0 win in Munich, SV Werder Bremen want to build on that performance and have more success on matchday 19.

“It will always be weird”

Maximilian Eggestein has settled in very well at SC Freiburg and has quickly become a cornerstone of head coach Christian Streich’s style of play. The 27-year-old has started all 26 games in all competitions this season and, as vice-captain, is one of the Breisgau side’s leading players. In this WERDER.DE interview, Eggestein tells all about his role at the club, his feelings ahead of his return…
