Werder’s Struggles and Leo Bittencourt’s Criticism: The Inside Scoop

2024-01-11 09:30:28

He doesn’t like this statement!

On Sunday, Werder performed subparly at the dress rehearsal before the Bundesliga restart and lost 3-1 to second-to-last Braunschweig. Professional boss Clemens Fritz made it clear following the game: “If you put on a performance like that in Bochum next Sunday, you will concede just as many goals as in the first game of last year in Cologne!” At that time, Werder embarrassed themselves to the bone and lost 1:7.

Midfielder Leo Bittencourt (30) cannot understand why Fritz makes this comparison to last year. He says: “The game is no longer present a bit. That’s why I don’t understand Clemens why he even mentions this. I don’t think it’s really appropriate to mention this 1:7. There aren’t that many guys left that this has happened to.”

And even more: When it comes to transfers, the leading player also takes a swipe at the sporting leadership around Fritz and boss Frank Baumann. Bittencourt: “I would like us to get guys who can help us straight away. That hasn’t necessarily been the case in recent years. We got guys who still need time to get to know the league, who need to get to know the surroundings and perhaps a new country.”

The fact is that Werder definitely wants to improve. Due to the long-term absence of central defender Amos Pieper (ankle surgery), the focus is on defense. But coach Ole Werner would also like to get a breath of fresh air in the midfield.

Recently he even demanded this publicly. “We need a different competitive situation, and as quickly as possible. We generally need to add more and certainly have to do something more,” said Werner.

Bittencourt also sees almost no competition at the moment: “In my opinion it’s not really there. When you have to play for 90 minutes in a test match where other guys would have had to prove themselves, you realize that there isn’t that much competition at the moment. That also suggests that people in Braunschweig sometimes leave one foot or two out.”
