SV Werder Bremen defeated FC Hansa Rostock in front of around 21,000 fans at the wohninvest WESERSTADION and picked up their first home victory since February. The Green-Whites started the game well and were the dominant team for almost the entire game. New signing Marvin Ducksch scored twice in a perfect Werder debut. Head coach Markus Anfang was happy with his team’s performance: “Every game is important and we simply needed a good result. We are so happy to win, to score three goals and to keep a clean sheet.”

WERDER.DE rounds up the reactions of head coach Markus Anfang, director of football Frank Baumann as well as players Marvin Ducksch, Romano Schmid and skipper Ömer Toprak.

On the game:

Markus Anfang: “I thought we played really well and could have scored even more goals. There are no complaints from me; we kept another clean sheet as we did in Karlsruhe, and that gave us confidence. We need to keep on developing as a team, that’s crucial.”

Frank Baumann: “They worked together as a team. They did well off the ball and did not let up. It was tough in the first half playing against the deep-lying Rostock defence. But, the team kept at it and upped it even more in the second period. We saw how important defensive work is, because it allows a team to play with a real confidence.”

Marvin Ducksch: “I think the team has a lot of potential. Today we saw that the guys have a bit about them, it all went very well. Of course, it wasn’t perfect, but we are just getting started. I try to lead the way through my performance and take the team with me. We set out to play attacking football and that’s exactly what we did.”

On the atmosphere in the stadium:

Romano Schmid: “It was an unbelievable feeling to be in the stadium today. Every win is great, without a doubt, but we owed it to the fans to get a win at home. I think we saw just how much the stadium can rock when we do our job well.”

Ömer Toprak: “Everyone who has played and won at the Weserstadion knows just how special the atmosphere is. We also knew we had to give something back to the fans, and this victory is a step in the right direction.”

Marvin Ducksch: “It was a great feeling to score here. The atmosphere in the stadium today was awesome and just what we wanted to create. We want to win the fans over again.”

Frank Baumann: “We are so happy, especially for the fans who have waited so long to come back to the stadium and then were able to experience a home victory. You saw here today just how much everyone wanted to see a home win.”

On Marvin Ducksch’s debut

Markus Anfang: “The team took to him well and he has fit in to the squad nicely. We wouldn’t have signed Marvin if we didn’t think he was a good player. But we shouldn’t just speak about individual players; it’s about the team and the whole club. The team worked really well today.”

Frank Baumann: “Marvin showed his ability today. But you must also say that it was also a brilliant team performance.”

Romano Schmid: “I already sort of knew how he played having watched him. He makes really clever runs. I think if we carry on linking up like that, then we will pick up more wins, just like we did today.”
