What line-up does coach Horst Steffen rely on? This is what SV Werder Bremen’s starting eleven could look like against TSG Hoffenheim.
Bremen – Has a sense of humor Horst Steffen Regardless of the tense situation, we are not lost. “We have a compulsive rotation, let’s put it that way…” says the coach SV Werder Bremen and smiles. “We still have defenders. Not that many anymore, but there are still enough who can play well.” But how exactly the defensive line of the Starting eleven lineup in the catch-up game against them TSG Hoffenheim (Tuesday, 8.30 p.m. in the DeichStube live ticker) remains a tricky mystery.
Werder Bremen’s starting eleven against TSG Hoffenheim: Who will move into the central defense of SV Werder Bremen
Two actors will do this SV Werder Bremen Definitely missing are captain Marco Friedl (suspended) and Isaac Schmidt (concussion). Since Niklas Stark (hip problems), Maximilian Wöber (muscular problems) and Felix Agu (lack of training after a syndesmosis injury) cannot play, Amos Pieper’s involvement would be even more important. But the central defender is struggling with a wound on his right knee, which is why his deployment will only be decided at short notice. That means: In addition to Karim Coulibaly and Julian Malatini, there could still be a place in front of goalkeeper Mio Backhaus in the Starting XI become free. Could this be a great opportunity for defensive talent Mick Schmetgens (18)? “Of course this is a candidate who plays a role,” is all Steffen says. A return to the back four is also possible, says the 56-year-old.
Senne Lynen in defense, Jovan Milosevic in attack? This is what Werder Bremen’s starting eleven could look like against Hoffenheim
However, it is not unlikely that Werder’s coaching team will reorganize elsewhere if the worst comes to the worst, moving Senne Lynen from the six and putting him in the back three. Jens Stage and possibly Cameron Puertas could then come into play in defensive midfield. In theory, Skelly Alvero would also be an option, but the Frenchman was recently dropped from the squad due to poor training performance. It’s hard to imagine that he will now fill the gap in the Lineup advanced. One thing is certain: Olivier Deman is the left-back. Curious: Both the Belgian and Malatini were considered Werder Bremen a short time ago they were still hot candidates for change.
That still leaves the offensive, where Romano Schmid is the coach Horst Steffen at the SV Werder Bremen should still be set. In addition, Justin Njinmah has recently made the most noticeable impression in attack and should therefore also be in the Starting XI stand. Samuel Mbangula, Jovan Milosevic and Marco Grüll are fighting for the vacant position, although the latter has hardly made any statements recently. A change is not unlikely there either. (mbu)
