The fact that Marvin Ducksch is often the first Werder professional to appear before referees not only has personal consequences given his warnings – but also financial ones.

In Frankfurt it was that time again in the 77th minute: Marvin Ducksch was shown a yellow card; this time he had expressly complained to referee Robert Hartmann about an alleged foul by Eintracht goalscorer Tuta that led to the 1-1 final score. The SV Werder Bremen attacker was warned in all three of his most recent games: against VfL Wolfsburg just as much for complaining as in the previous game against Union Berlin.
Nine yellow cards have now been accumulated over the season, and it is noteworthy that only one of them was due to a foul by Ducksch, on matchday 1 against FC Bayern. A warning was also given for his swallow against Darmstadt, everything else was punished complaints from the attacker. When asked about this, Werder coach Ole Werner explained before the Frankfurt game: “He knows that there can’t be too many more cards added now.”
Ducksch: “Then I’ll be happy to pay”
Now Ducksch, who is threatened with a second yellow suspension in the remaining six Bundesliga games, at least showed himself to be understanding: “I have to rein myself in somehow,” said the 30-year-old: “But those are just emotions, because I “I want to win the game and then in some situations I’m not happy with the referee.” In doing so, he is also trying to “do a bit for the team,” said Ducksch – although he has to pay the price himself: In addition to the warnings themselves, according to Werner, “unnecessary” yellow cards are also “sanctioned by the team treasury.” .
Apparently bearable for the Bremen professional: “If I can help us, I’ll be happy to pay for the complaining.” Given his pre-charged card account, he also said: “Maybe someone else will do that in the next game.” Because: Werder needs Ducksch, the two-time German international striker is still used in attack – despite a sustained drought of eight league games.
Goals and assists? “I don’t measure myself by that”
“Goals and assists aren’t that important to me,” replied Ducksch: “I’ve always said that I don’t measure myself by that. I try to help the team.” Not just to the referees. “And I’m also sure that one or two assists or goals will come in the next few games,” the Werder professional continued. In Frankfurt that wasn’t officially the case: his sharp free kick had actually made it 1-0, but it wasn’t the taker Jens Stage who hit the ball directly, but Milos Veljkovic with a shot.
