There was an unfamiliar sight on the Werder training ground on Thursday. Michael Lang, who is usually a right-back, is practicing on the left side of the defence.

"I'm right-back, that's where my strengths lie." But the 28-year-old...

At the time, head coach Florian Kohfeldt called him “an experienced Bundesliga player who will strengthen our attack with his talent.” The last few matches over the past months have proven Kohfeldt right.
