Werder Bremen scores against Mainz 05: Christian Groß doubly good!

SV Werder Bremen beat Mainz 05 1-0 with a late goal and stopped the negative series. Players in individual review – with ratings.

Jiri Pavlenka: There was no trace of uncertainty after his mistake against Borussia Dortmund. When he ran against Mateta, he got his foot out just in time (26th) and was also on the post with a moderately dangerous shot from Fernandes (30th), that was it. Note 3.5

Theodor Gebre Selassie: Solid and reliable, which in this case should be understood as a compliment. Note 3

Christian Gross: In possession of the ball in Bremen, he was the only six in the center of the Bremen field, if Mainz attacked towards Werder’s goal, they passed to central defense. He acted more than correctly in both positions. Note 2.5

Omar toprak (up to 54th): He started unsure, he made a bad risky pass over Quaison (8th). He moved over and over again throughout the game, probably as a result of a left foot injury. Then he had to leave after a lost duel with Mateta. There is another threat of failure. Note 3.5

Werder Bremen scores against Mainz 05: Ludwig Augustinsson in permanent action

Marco Friedl: Good part as a central defender. I was also encouraged and kept him at a distance. That was pretty dangerous (32). Sometimes a bit dirty in the passing game. Note 3

Ludwig Augustinsson: A lot happened at Werder on his left side. Augustinsson was in virtually constant action and should have been celebrated as a goal creator if Sargent had used his corner kick with precision (26). Note 3

Maximilian Eggestein: At the diamond of the right middle position, from where he tried tirelessly to get the offense going. Weak his title from a good position (23). Always good against the ball. Note 3

Kevin Möhwald: Eggestein’s neighbor on the left. Not as conspicuous as last time against Dortmund, but 90 minutes passed for the first time since their long injury breakup. Note 4

Werder Bremen scores against Mainz 05: Romano Schmid active, but mostly ineffective

Roman Schmid (up to 85): entered the starting eleven for the injured Leo Bittencourt (ankle problems), for the second time in four Bundesliga appearances. Schmid started unabashedly, and as a second point alongside Sargent he had a good scene or two despite the blatant physical inferiority against Mainz’s defense. It was never shut off, but it had little effect on offense. Note 4

Yuya osako (up to 72nd): He also started out quite energetically, successfully daring a little dance with four Mainzers and cleverly crossed Sargent (9th). Before the break with a try from a distance. In the middle also inactive. You are not always fully involved in back pressures. Note 4

Josh Sargent: His goalless clock was at 395 minutes at the start of the match, 26 minutes later he could have turned it off, no: he had to. After Augustinsson’s corner he went free to head but did not put pressure on the ball. After that no more meaningful scenes. Note 4.5

Werder Bremen scores against Mainz 05: Eren Dinkci leads Werder to luck in Bundesliga debut

Milos Veljkovic (54 and up): Comeback after six lost games. Veljkovic came for Toprak and solved the less demanding tasks that Mainz presented him clearly. Note 3

Tahith chong (from 72): He should bring speed to the attacking game again, but he couldn’t prevail either, until the 90th minute, when he suddenly appeared from the right and crossed perfectly into Dinkci. Note –

Eren Dinkci (from 85.): What a story! First squad nomination, first use, first goal! The U23 striker brought luck to Werder in the 90th minute. Note –

For the first report of December 18, 2020:

Werder Bremen line-up against Mainz 05: Romano Schmid in the starting line-up, Milos Veljkovic on the bench – Leonardo Bittencourt is not in the team!

To update (December 19, 2020): Now the lineups are there: Romano Schmid is in the first team, Milos Veljkovic sits on the bench, Leonardo Bittencourt is not in the team. The full starting eleven and everything else can be found on the live ticker of the Bundesliga match between Werder Bremen and Mainz 05.

Bremen – SV Werder Bremen will play Mainz 05 in the Bundesliga on matchday 13. Could this be the line-up, with Milos Veljkovic in the starting line-up?

After nine games without a win and four losses in a row, he’s going for it SV Werder Bremen by far Saturday against Mainz 05. An interesting question: Which staff does coach Florian Kohfeldt want to use to stop the downtrend? Mentally, a player is particularly suitable: Milos Veljkovic. The recovered central defender is the only professional on the field before Matchday 13 Framework – apart from the substitute goalkeepers and one or two young people – he remains undefeated, and that in at least five missions.

Werder Bremen line-up against Mainz 05: Milos Veljkovic instead of Christian Groß in the starting line-up?

Veljkovic was on the pitch in Bremen’s only two victories at Schalke and against Bielefeld and was also involved in draws against Freiburg, Frankfurt and Hoffenheim. Starting XI. Then adductor problems stopped him in early November. The 25-year-old has long been back in shape, he was part of the 20-man squad against Leipzig and Dortmund, but was not allowed to play. That could change now, especially since Christian Groß was only partially convincing as the right central defender for the back three. Above all, Veljkovic’s diagonal balls in preparation could do the Bremen team good.

Besides Veljkovic, Ömer Toprak and Marco Friedl are in the Line up since SV Werder Bremen set. The same applies to full-backs Ludwig Augustinsson and Theodor Gebre Selassie, although the two experienced forces have already acted more strongly. Augustinsson was particularly noted for his unfortunate foul on the penalty in Leipzig. Against Dortmund, the Swede played better again and narrowly missed a goal. This is not the only reason Kohfeldt is unlikely to sign substitute Felix Agu for Augustinsson in such an important match.

Werder Bremen vs. Mainz 05 lineup: Yuya Osako in the starting lineup? There is hardly any other option

Maximilian Eggestein and Kevin Möhwald should play a double six. Jean-Manuel Mbom has to give in to the Dortmund game, because in Mainz he should Florian Kohfeldt a little more offensive than the past dared and will bring in three attackers. Josh Sargent sitting next to him will probably be Leonardo Bittencourt and Yuya osako storm. The latter, however, is still waiting for his first goal of the season. After all, he scored in Bremen’s last appearance in Mainz, who, however, could not avoid bankruptcy 1: 3.

Tahith Chong, Nick Woltemade and Romano Schmid are alternatives for the Japanese, but the talent trio des was really convincing SV Werder Bremen not that far either. Due to the injuries of Davie Selke, Niclas Füllkrug, and Milot Rashica, Kohfeldt has almost no choice but against Mainz 05 expect a strong Osako and the invincibility of Milos Veljkovic. (knee)
