A week of decisive actions. - Werder striving for European glory and Weiser at its core
A fair 1:1 draw against Leipzig, who compete in the Champions League, marks the second game in a row ending in a tie. Disappointment lingers after the match, as there was potential for more success following a powerful final part.
Goalkeeper Michael Zetterer expresses his dismay, stating, "We're sad that we only managed to get one point in the end. However, there's still a slim chance on the last matchday."
Since 2010/11, this season's European Cup appearance is possible. No opponent has claimed a win until recently. Hoffenheim overpowered Darmstadt 6-0, advancing to 7th position with a total of 43 points.
Aspiring to qualify for the Conference League (8th place may suffice), the team is trailing by three points.
Leo Bittencourt said, "If we had triumphed against Gladbach last week, our chances of achieving what no one in Bremen expected would have been greater. The opportunity is still ahead of us."
Werder Bremen: The Struggle for Europe and Weiser
After the game ended, Werder's right-sided star made a statement on the matter that's been uncertain for months. Mitch Weiser disclosed his intention to know the answer soon: "I believe it will happen within the next few days." And what about the team's prospects? "The likelihood is 50-50," Weiser revealed.
If Weiser's words are trusted, Werder intends to continue negotiations for a contract extension lasting until 2027, but it's uncommon. Top players lack on his right side, and he cherishes ambitions beyond the Bundesliga midfield. Can those goals be attained in Bremen?
Werder's chief soccer officer, Clemens Fritz, takes a cautious stance and considers alternative candidates. "We want a resolution as soon as possible, but we have to be prepared for any eventuality."
The European qualifiers could strengthen Weiser's position, who's considering relocating abroad (Besiktas are intrigued). He may either decide during the upcoming week or await the cup final. If Lautern claiming the title unexpectedly, Werder is no longer eligible for 7th place.
Regardless, Werder will solely achieve success in their season finale against Bochum.
Fritz adds, "We've garnered positive responses on the field in the past four games and are aiming to recreate that performance, ending the season with a victory and the highest position in the table."
