The 0:4 in Bremen showed Erzgebirge Aue’s limits. The game went very badly for the Veilchen – also because they were surprised by how Werder approached the game
It hit the Auer quite unexpectedly, and before they knew it, it was already 0:1. At the Weserstadion, not even ten minutes had been played on Friday evening, when the Veilchen fell behind through an 18-metre shot by Romano Schmid.
The fact that Werder had started with a three-man defence surprised Aue. He had expected Bremen to be different, interim coach Pavel Dotchev admitted at the post-match press conference, and then said of the first goal conceded, which was followed shortly afterwards by a second: “That took the wind out of our sails. “
We already thought we could embarrass Bremen.
The Auer had lost 2-1 against Darmstadt the previous week, but had previously taken ten points from four games. That was another reason why Dotchev’s team was counting on something against SVW. “We thought we could embarrass Bremen a little bit,” said the interim coach, but he also had to admit that the course of the game was “very, very unfortunate” from the Veilchen’s point of view.
Even after the change of ends, it took less than ten minutes for Werder to score the third goal before Marvin Ducksch put the finishing touches on it with the 4:0. So Dotchev had no choice but to congratulate Bremen and his new coach Ole Werner: “I don’t think it’s a big secret when I say that Werder Bremen highly deserved to win. “
The Bundesliga relegated side was simply, it had to be acknowledged on Friday night, out of their league for Aue
