“He joined us before being fully fit but fought his way back and reached his perfect physical condition. I’m glad that he was able to train with us during the entire winter preparation and that he stayed injury-free. Now we can see how lively and fit he is on the pitch. We all knew that he was still able to play quality football,” continued the Bremen coach.
But not only players and coaches were happy for Pizarro, sporting director Thomas Eichin also raved on about Werder’s top goalscorer. “He is an outstanding football player, who can control the ball and play the smart pass. He has a sense for dangerous situations and is always capable of scoring a goal. His performances are top notch,” said Eichin.
Pizarro himself is flattered. “It’s nice to hear things like that,” answered Pizarro when told about the praising words of his colleagues. “But I’m just happy to be out on the pitch and to be able to help the team.” Humble, team-player and a great attitude - these are the qualities that make Pizarro so important for the Green-Whites and indispensable in the Bundesliga.
