The joy of the 4-1 home win in the final game of the season against Bochum was also mixed with a bit of disappointment. After all, Bremen narrowly missed out on international competition. Nevertheless, the conclusion to the season was positive.

In the end, it wasn’t quite enough for eighth place and the associated possible qualification for European competition: SV Werder were two goals short of leaving 1. FC Heidenheim behind in the table at the end of a crazy 34th matchday . However, that didn’t dampen the good mood after the 4-1 home win against VfL Bochum. Even before the game, the atmosphere in the Weserstadion was charged; the honoring of the 2004 double heroes and the farewell to managing director Frank Baumann had already set emotional highlights in advance.
“The atmosphere was perfect today,” said an euphoric Ole Werner to the club’s own media after the game. “It gave us goosebumps before the game and it carried us forward again during the game,” said Werner. In fact, Bremen were dominant from the start against Bochum, after just six minutes captain Marco Friedl took the lead and ended his 107-game goalless streak. Bremen then continued to attack, but missed great opportunities before and after the break before Anthony Jung, Jens Stage and Romano Schmid struck again in the final phase.
Jung: disappointment as a “good sign”
Because 1. FC Heidenheim also beat Cologne 4-1 elsewhere (Bremen’s loan player Eren Dinkci scored a brace), SV Werder ultimately remained just behind the promoted team in the table – and was annoyed about those missed opportunities. “With all due respect to Bochum, we could perhaps have scored eight goals today, which is why it hurts a bit that we didn’t reach eighth place,” said Romano Schmid, confirming the impression that perhaps a little more was possible for Bremen were.
We would have liked to have climbed one more place.
Coach Ole Werner also made no secret of the fact that they would have liked to “climb one more place”. However, according to the coach’s suggestion, we would have needed “more consistency” over the course of the season. The fact that the joy of the victory was also mixed with some disappointment was a “good sign,” emphasized goal scorer Anthony Jung. “We wanted to show that we have made good development and now we go into the break with a good feeling,” said the defender.
Fritz sees a “further development”
The conclusion of the season is positive – striker Marvin Ducksch also confirmed this. The two-time national player explained that Bremen had fulfilled their task, “unfortunately things didn’t turn out as hoped on the secondary pitches.” Nevertheless, the ninth-placed team can look back on a “good season”. Clemens Fritz, who spoke to his team, also chose the same tenor Sky confirmed a clear “further development” and gave a “huge compliment” to the team. “I’m really proud of our team and our whole team,” said Fritz.
