test games - No victory for Werder at the end of the training camp
Werder Bremen returns from training camp in Austria without success in the friendlies. At the end of the ten-day stay in Zell am Ziller, the Bundesliga team had to settle for a 2:2 (2:0) draw against the English Second Division side Sheffield Wednesday. The match lasted 2 x 60 minutes.
David Kownacki (31.) and Keke Topp (49.) scored for Bremen. Anthony Musaba (83.) and Djeidi Gassama (97.) equalized for the English. Werder Bremen's trainer Ole Werner fielded different teams during halftime. The Werder squad returns to the Weser on Saturday. In the past weeks, the team lost 0:3 against the Italian First Division side US Lecce. The next friendly is planned for August 3 against another English Second Division team, Coventry City.
Despite the disappointing results at the friendly matches during the training camp in Cell am Ziller, Austria, Werder Bremen is determined to bounce back. The Bundesliga team will resume their training at their home base in Bremen on the Weser. The team is scheduled to play a test game against Coventry City, an English Second Division team, on August 3. Prior to this, Werder Bremen faced a challenging loss in a test game against the Italian First Division side US Lecce, with a score of 0:3. Ole Werner, the team's trainer, utilized the training camp in Austria to experiment with different lineups, a strategy he plans to continue as the Bundesliga season approaches. The draw against Sheffield Wednesday, although not ideal, provided valuable learning opportunities for the German soccer team.
