Werder’s birthday week showed just what Florian Kohfeldt’s team are capable of. The Green-Whites won on penalties in Dortmund and were 3-0 up after just 28 minutes against Augsburg at the weekend. They did this with a new system based around counter attacking. Werder’s tactic of having a lot of possession didn’t get them as many points as they would have liked in the Hinrunde, so the coaches decided on some new ideas.
