Bundesliga: Fritz Slams Werder's Act in 0:2 Loss to Stuttgart
Clemens Fritz, the boss of football operations at SV Werder Bremen, voiced his disappointment after the team's 0:2 (0:1) defeat to VfB Stuttgart. "We lacked everything," Fritz said, summarizing Werder's performance on Saturday evening. "It was a pretty dull day," he added, referring to the side's struggles in Stuttgart.
Werder's winless streak in the Bundesliga now hits five games. They have only picked up a single point on the road this season, and have only managed to win one of their last eight games. Captain Marco Friedl tacitly agreed with Fritz, stating, "We were clearly inferior in all aspects in this game."
With the upcoming home match against FC Augsburg looming next Saturday, Fritz and Friedl are pushing for better results. They both believe that a strong team effort will be necessary to get past Augsburg and escape further relegation concerns. "We need to come out victorious," urged Fritz. Friedl added, "We need a better showing as a whole team if we're going to beat Augsburg."
