Bremen – What a season for Jean-Manuel Mbom! Who would have thought in the summer that third-division returnees from KFC Uerdingen would play such a role at SV Werder Bremen?
The only 20-year-old has played ten times in the previous 13 first-half Bundesliga games, eight times in the starting lineup. Like last Wednesday in the DFB Cup against Hannover 96, and won there Jean-Manuel Mbom his great half year with the first competitive goal for Werder Bremen.
“I think ‘Manu’ is celebrating a good Christmas,” joked coach Florian Kohfeldt and then praised: “That ‘Manu’ also included Hill does, that just fits. In general, he did very well, barely made mistakes, was confident with the ball and played well against the ball ”. A typical Mbom. The young off-roader, who can play midfield at six or eight, but can also help as a right-back, delivers quite reliably.
Werder Bremen: Jean-Manuel Mbom before with many goals, today with many yellow cards
Okay, there was also this loss of the ball in Frankfurt, which Eintracht punished with 1: 1 and Werder Bremen possibly cost two points. And already on the tenth day of play I had to Jean-Manuel Mbom serve a suspension with a yellow card after his fifth warning. Sometimes the newly crowned U21 national player still acts a little too wild. But that’s the way it is with young-minded players, sometimes they overdo it.
However, Kohfeldt regularly trusts Mbom. And your goal doesn’t have to be a flash in the pan. In the men’s area, the 20-year-old has not yet been so accurate, but there are still these statistics from the 2016/17 season: Mbom scored 18 goals in 20 games in the U17 Bundesliga Werder Bremen – and that as a midfielder. You are welcome to build on that. (kni) Also interesting: coach Florian Kohfeldt does tricks with the injured Marco Friedl, but Werder will not be absent for long.
