Starting signal for Werder: performance diagnostics in the Weserstadion begin!
The summer break is over and things are going well again at SV Werder Bremen! Today, July 6, 2025, the team began performance diagnostics in the Weser Stadium. These important tests will take place on Saturday and Sunday to check players' fitness after the recovery period. This is the first step into the new season for Werder.
There is also special news for the players. Loan returnee Dawid Kownacki showed up early and is looking forward to seeing his old teammates again after a year. New signing Maximilian Wöber is also making a fresh start to his first time with the Green-Whites, while Christian Groß is returning to the team as assistant coach. The reunion seems to be a welcome opportunity for everyone involved to combine old faces and new impulses.
A special kind of class reunion
The mood among the players is exuberant. Niklas Stark expressed his joy at the reunion and described the preparation with the new coach and his system as exciting. Michael Zetterer even compared the meeting to a school reunion and spoke of the challenges that the upcoming lactate tests will bring.
But it's not just the returnees who are motivated: Amos Pieper emphasized the importance of the performance checks and is also looking forward to seeing the staff again. Keke Topp enjoyed the peace and quiet before the intense season and is looking forward to interacting with his teammates. Everyone has their own view of the challenges ahead.
Technique and preparation
Performance diagnostics itself plays an essential role in football as it checks the players' mobility, strength and coordination. Core stability, an important aspect, is becoming more and more important. This area includes the control of trunk positions and the ability to effectively generate force between the trunk and extremities. According to the specialist literature, there is no generally accepted diagnostic procedure, but the Functional Movement Screen (FMS) is often used to assess mobility and strength abilities and to estimate the risk of injury. The combination of FMS with traditional muscle function diagnostics could help to make differentiated diagnoses and better tailor training plans to the needs of players.
Overall, there are exciting weeks ahead for Bremen. The anticipation for the new season is palpable and the team seems ready to set the course for a successful season. The coming period will show how the players will develop under the new coach and what successes await.
