Werder Bremen: Glossy 6-0 start under coach Steffen!

Stadion Am Berliner Ring, Bremen, Deutschland - SV Werder Bremen has made an impressive start under his new coach Horst Steffen. In the first preparatory game on July 12, 2025, the team defeated FC Verden 6-0. The audience satisfaction was also high: 5,500 fans came to the Berliner Ring stadium to pursue the debut of the new trainer.

The victory was not only high, but also clear: The team scored gates through Amos Pieper (5th minute), Leon Opitz (36th minute), Isak Hansen-Aaröen (44th minute), Patrice Covic (49th and 57th minute) and Justin Njinmah (55th minute). Horst Steffen, who has only been in office since July 1, 2025, placed particular emphasis on the first impressions of his players and completely changed at half -time to give each player the opportunity to prove himself. It is easy to see that Steffen was able to give new impulses right from the start that were visible on the square, such as the haunting reports from t-online.de.

New game system and important new additions

A particularly striking detail was the switch to a chain of four in the defense, which was used for the first time in this preparation. This shows that Steffen not only sharpen the offensive, but also has the defensive stability in view. Among the new faces was also Maximilian Wöber, who played his first minutes in the Werder dress and appeared positively. Despite the good news, the Bremeners were unable to fall back on some important players: Marco Friedl, Romano Schmid and Marco Grüll, all three Austrian international, and Felix AGU were injured. Marvin Ducksch will fail for several weeks due to a muscle injury, and Michael Zetterer remained outside due to a light injury, so sueddeutsche.de.

A look at the history of the association

The new trainer still has a lot to do. The history of SV Werder Bremen is rich and offers exciting insights into the term of many coaches. Data from the [Transfermarkt] (https://www.transfermarkt.de/sv-werder-bremen/mi employee history/verein/86) show that Steffen's term of office is just 11 days old.
