The Schalker are in Bremen on Saturday evening. Things are not yet going ideally for either team. Dominick Drexler has an approach as to why that is.
“We have trained a lot, trained hard, that is the basis for the weekend. Now we went into the fine-tuning today,” Drexler said at the press conference on Thursday. In Bremen, the Schalkers want to turn the tables again, as they have recently lost three games in a row.
Of course, it will then also be restless at Schalke. But the upcoming opponents from Bremen have also experienced such times recently; things have been better recently with the draw against St. Pauli and the victory in Nuremberg. Nuremberg, St. Pauli and Regensburg have played well and are now at the top of the league. The coach has been able to develop his idea of the game and the automatisms are now working very well in the second year. We and Bremen have had a big change in personnel, “, explains Drexler. “We have good individual quality in the squad and have to find ourselves quickly. We’re still getting better, the others have to stay that good to stay up. I would currently relate that to the play-in factor. “
Grammozis on Werder: “Playing faster now “
In Bremen, the Knappen want to take the next step in the right direction. “Two strong teams will meet, the match will also be decided by who has the better form on the day,” assumes Schalke’s coach Dimitrios Grammozis, who will only have to do without Salif Sané.
Werder is a team that has been playing in a 3-5-2 system for the last two games and has been successful with it. “They have changed and now play faster and more vertically up front. They have two dangerous strikers in Niclas Füllkrug and Marvin Ducksch,” Grammozis knows. “We can expect a team that will be totally motivated, also because of the last results. But we will go there to show what we can do. “
