Zetterer remains number one: Werder Bremen starts with a new coach!
A new wind is blowing at SV Werder Bremen! The goalkeeper Michael Zetterer prevailed in the selection process and remains the undisputed number one in the box this season. Coach Horst Steffen, who only recently took over from Ole Werner, announced this decision, which came after intensive six weeks of preparation. This phase was used to evaluate the goalkeepers' performances in various training and test match situations. With his convincing skills, Zetterer was able to unite not only the coaches but also the entire team behind him, as n-tv reports.
His competitor Mio Backhaus took the decision in a sporty and professional manner. “We would have had two first-class goalkeepers,” says Steffen, who attaches great importance to strong defensive support. Zetterer will now take responsibility in the first official game when Werder Bremen meets Arminia Bielefeld in the DFB Cup on Friday. This will not be an easy undertaking, as Bielefeld reached the cup final last season and is therefore a tough task for Bremen.
A look into the future
Werder fans are really looking forward to the new season! While the Bundesliga opener against Eintracht Frankfurt is scheduled for August 23rd, the team is putting everything on Zetterer. The coach emphasized that he sees Zetterer as the stable support the team needs to be successful in the race. According to bundesliga.com it is important to start the season with a strong goalkeeper and Zetterer's performances have proven crucial in the pre-season.
But what does SV Werder Bremen's goalkeeper chronicle actually look like? A steady development can be seen. The chronicle documents all goalkeepers used chronologically and contains interesting information about their appearances as well as the number of clean sheets and goals conceded in the respective seasons, as transfermarkt.de shows. The team is prepared and the pressure on Zetterer couldn't be greater, but he is ready to take on the challenge.
With this news, the fans now have to go to the stadium and get excited! The coming season promises to be exciting and Michael Zetterer will be an important part of the history of SV Werder Bremen.
