- Steffen, the Werder coach, advocates for a goal-scoring competition
Ready for some football drama, fans? Here's the lowdown on the new season at SV Werder Bremen! The exciting coach, Horst Steffen, is shaking things up with goalkeepers Michael Zetterer (29) and up-and-coming talent Mio Backhaus (21). Steffen's declared that he's sticking with this duo as they dive into the Bundesliga!
According to Peter Niemeyer, Werder's head of professional football, Steffen's keen on keeping things competitive: "He wants to see everyone bring their A-game".* Backhaus, who backed up Zetterer last season, extended his contract with Werder and's obviously eyeing a promotion. There were whispers about another loan, but we'll just have to wait and see!
Niemeyer shared some encouraging words for Backhaus, recognizing his personal growth and increased maturity, even without playing time. But don't expect any loud proclamations right now: "It's too early for us to declare an all-out battle," Niemeyer clarified.*
