Werder Bremen scores against Schalke: Niclas Füllkrug outstanding!

Jiri Pavlenka: Only in the 43rd minute a bit challenged, but then as much on the post as in Schalke’s brief emergency phase after the break. There was no chance in Schalke’s late consolation goal. Note 3

Theodor Gebre Selassie: After his weak performance against Berlin, he concentrated more on defense, and the right-back did well, almost always close to the man. In this way, the newcomer Mbom was also well protected. Note 3

Milos Veljkovic: So now the replacement of the injured Toprak in the right central defense, and the right foot acted with great attention and consistency, preferring to hit the ball than take a risk. But that was the correct recipe in this difficult phase. Note 2.5

Marco Friedl: Displaced none other than the captain and chief of defense Moisander. With a decent result, even if he seemed a bit nervous from time to time. I was lucky when Ibisevic got away, but it happened. Note 3

Werder Bremen vs Schalke 04: Jean Manuel Mbom celebrates the Bundesliga premiere

Ludwig Augustinsson: His corners and free kicks are getting better and better, the left back started 1-0 and even prepared 2-0 directly. He often dared to advance and was also instrumental on penalty to make it 3-0. Also very strong in the back. He was spat out by Schalke’s Ozan Kabak. Note 1.5

Maximilian Eggestein: There is no comparison with Hertha’s game, this time much safer as a six, in positional play, in duels, but also in passing. I always stayed calm, even when he got frantic. Note 2.5

Jean-Manuel Mbom (up to 90): Shameless premiere of the Bundesliga! The 20-year-old did not spare himself or his opponent, showed football class in the center of the right field and put on the socks for it. Later there was a yellow card for complaining. Note 2

Davy Klaassen (up to 87): He was wearing the captain’s armband because Moisander was sitting on the bench. And the Dutchman obviously wanted to show everyone his commitment. A true leader in Bremen midfield, but without shining offensively. Note 2.5

Leonardo Bittencourt (up to 67): It was something like the free spirit in the Bremen attack, very active, very creative. Strong as he conquered the ball on pressure and Sargent almost served the early lead. Then he lost his strength a bit, not so noticeable at the front. Note 2.5

Werder Bremen vs. Schalke 04: Niclas Füllkrug outstanding

Niclas Füllkrug (up to 67): What a boy! Once again he showed how important he is to this team, and not just because of his three (!) Goals. He also took advantage of the penalty to make it 3-0 himself. With his unbridled commitment, Füllkrug created a completely different mentality throughout the team compared to Hertha’s game. Note 1+

Josh Sargent (bis 87.): His chance to take the lead stumbled, but he deftly set the 1-0 for Füllkrug with his head. He chased after the Schalke defenders pressing, they threw themselves at all the balls and did not shy away from a dog fight. However, he also missed his second big chance, because he has to be even more insensitive. Note 3

Davie Selke (ab 67.): The starting line-up was gone despite his goal, but the forward was not offended. Better yet: he performed for the team, won major headers in his own penalty area. Note –

Johannes Eggestein (from 67): He had his chance, but couldn’t really get into the spotlight with all the effort. Note –

Tahith Chong (ab. 87): This time just Joker, when the game was already decided. Note –

Christian Groß (since 87): Wow, it still exists, and it immediately turned heads with a little solo. Note –

Yuya Osako (ab 90.): He had to go to the bench after two poor performances, but his replacement can be seen as a sign that manager Kohfeldt is still behind him. Note –

Until the last message at 5:30 pm:

Line-up against Schalke 04: Werder Bremen with Niclas Füllkrug and a total of four newcomers in the starting line-up.

Bremen – Florian Kohfeldt, coach of the SV Werder Bremen, announced after the initial 1: 4 defeat against Hertha BSC, and does against FC Schalke 04 really serious. There are four initial changes to XI compared to Hertha’s game.

To update (September 26, 2020): Now the lineups are here: Niclas Füllkrug and Leo Bittencourt can play from the start. The entire starting eleven and everything else can be found in the live ticker of Werder Bremen’s game against Schalke 04.

Continue to previous message:

It says on the door Jiri Pavlenka Of course, not to argue, although he admitted during the week: “I have to avoid the third goal with my quality.” The Czech is very self-critical. In defense, the experiment with two left feet (Niklas Moisander Y Marco Friedl) in the absence of the injured Omar toprak be finished. Right foot Milos Veljkovic You should now be fit enough after your troubles in preparation to start over for Werder Bremen run. Friedl must give way to him, Moisander could benefit from his bonus as captain.

Werder Bremen lineup against Schalke 04: Yuya Osako should have lost his place

Outside in the back four are Ludwig Augustinsson and Theodor Gebre Selassie still inviolable. That probably also applies to Maximilian Eggestein like a six, but in the absence of a real alternative. That still has to be compromised. How are eight Davy klaassen a constant. In contrast to Yuya Osako, who should have lost her place in midfield after two bad games. For him it will be very likely Leonardo Bittencourt move into the team.

And in the storm? Just keep Josh sargent its place on the left. Suggest that Niclas filling jug you can finally start from the beginning. For him he would have to Davie selke give up despite his goal against Hertha. Also newcomer Tahith chong he will have to be content with the role of spectator after having paid a lot of money in his first appearance in the Bundesliga. Especially for defense, its use is in the Starting XI still too risky. But who can vouch for him? Indeed, the time has come for Johannes Eggestein. After his good preparation, he was expected to be in the starting eleven much earlier. This time it might work for him. (knee)
