Steffen starts at Werder Bremen: Different shock for Ducksch!

Bremen, Deutschland - yesterday Monday, July 7, 2025, there was a fresh breeze at SV Werder Bremen. The new head coach Horst Steffen, who had previously worked for SV Elversberg for seven years, entered the training ground full of enthusiasm and started the summer preparation with a first intensive training session. In rainy weather, the first sweat pearls fell, while Steffen brought his tactical ideas closer to his team. One thing cannot be denied: the man has a good knack for his work and is determined to re -shape the team after Ole Werner has resigned the coaching position. [Weser Kurier] (https://www.weserkurier.de/werder/werder-bremen-so-startte-steffen-steffen-team-team-in-die preparation-Doc81emvukoe7r134doerk) reports that Steffen felt when he started working.

With 37 planned training sessions in the coming weeks, Steffen not only wants to get used to the players to the new season, but also specify his clear route. The focus will be on an offensive style of play, as well as the counterpressing and quick switching. In a short speech to the team, he left no doubt that a friendly relationship in the team he considers it essential. Steffen will work alongside his assistant Raphael Duarte, who will give the louder instructions during the training.

Schreck moment for Marvin Ducksch

The big surprise of the spectators and fans in the first training session of the season preparation occurred an unfortunate incident. The striker Marvin Ducksch had to cancel the training due to injury after only 20 minutes. He felt "pinching in the calf" and was then brought off the pitch with a golf cart. The exact type of injury and the duration of the failure are still unclear at the hour. [Sportschau] (https://www.sportschau.de/regional/ndr/trainer-steffen-startet-bei-werder-bremen-schreck-fuer-ducksch ,wer- 158.html) reported that this was a little fright for the team. It is to be hoped that Ducksch will quickly get fit again.

Horst Steffen still remains optimistic and already has a first test date. On Saturday at 3:30 p.m. it goes against the top division FC Verden 04. The trainer sets confidence in the remaining tribe of the team and plans in addition to the first newcomer Maximilian Wöber, which was borrowed by Leeds United for one year, further reinforcements, especially in the front and on the right.

The plans for the season

In the coming weeks, a training camp in the Zillertal is also on the program, which will last from July 22nd to August 1st. Steffen is aware of the challenges that lie in front of him, especially after the departure of players like Milos Veljkovic to Red Stern Belgrade and André Silva to RB Leipzig. But he is determined to bring a fresh wind into the troop and to lay the foundations for a successful Bundesliga season.

The preparations have started, and not only the players, but also the fans are excited to see how the new team of coaches around Horst Steffen will develop. The coming weeks promise to be exciting! Sports.yahoo
