Comment: With patience and Skripnik

Although Werder Bremen has not won the game against Darmstadt, Germany, and for five weeks on a victory waits, it is allowed to coach Skripnik. A real character, DW-sports editor Andreas Sten-Ziemons.

It was not the desired result. At the end of a hotly contested, but not very handsome
Match against newly promoted SV Darmstadt 98 had saved Werder Bremen just yet – thanks to a Last-Minute goal from Veteran Claudio Pizarro-a point. A point that was awakened in the light of the new Self-consciousness of a relegation candidate Hoffenheim and given the success of the conclusion of the light of Hannover in Stuttgart, much too little. The location for Bremen in the relegation battle, after the 23. Round again, a bit more of a concern than before two or three weeks. With 21 points, SV Werder ranks are now only three, respectively four-point advantage on the descent. The Green-and-White, with -19 the worst goal difference of all the competitors.

In spite of the precarious situation must make Bremen’s coach Viktor Skripnik no Worries, to be in the race to Reach the safety of the Shore in the short term replaced. At least for the time being. After the final whistle, marched Skripnik and his supervisor, the Bremen managing Director Thomas Eichin, Arm-in-Arm across the lawn of the Weser stadium and practiced almost demonstratively the shoulder-to-shoulder. The message: in The last five Bundesliga matches, winning lots of Ukrainians remains in office.

It is right to continue to Skripnik. And the time would not only be, because until the next League game on Wednesday just to find a suitable new coach. The 46-year-old Skripnik is a stand-up guy. Always, when him, such as the expulsion was threatened, he managed to save himself with a good result or an unexpected success. The chances are this time the bad: On Wednesday, it goes for SV Werder in the BayArena and Leverkusen. Here Skripnik celebrated a few weeks ago a kind of resurrection, as he and his Team are the favored Werkself
in the quarter-finals of the DFB Pokal threw. Why should not succeed against the Europa League participation and a lot of injuries now pretty much on the gums in-depth Leverkusen team again?

No more experiments!

And why then not also the classes? With Claudio Pizarro, the recovering Zlatko Junuzovic, and the currently-ailing captain Clemens Fritz Skripnik has not buckling experienced players in his team, under the increasing pressure. Skripnik, of the tended, in the past, many Times unnecessarily to tactical experiments, the glückten always prescribed, his Team now a tactic in which the players feel comfortable and in your Strengths in the best possible way can bring, Bremen points.

In addition, Skripnik still has a trump card in the hand, With Gerhard Tremmel to him, Winter was brought in an experienced goalkeeper as a Backup for regular Keeper Felix Wiedwald, who now has 46 goals against a prisoner, and not always very steady in the saddle, worked. Also Tremmel is a player with a lot of experience, the pressure is relatively unimportant. Maybe it would be a good time to bring it on? As a sign of their own players – and as a Signal to the outside. Viktor Skripnik will know what the Right thing is.
