A mid-week match-up at the Weser-Stadion! Werder’s new interim coach Alexander Nouri has had two training session to try and prepare his team for Wednesday’s clash with Mainz (kick-off 20:00 CEST). Nouri explained at the press conference ahead of the game that they would be coming up against “a strong team.” He explained: “We have obviously prepared for our opponents but the focus is mostly on our own game,” and continued: “There isn’t a lot of time left, that’s why we can’t work on putting together a whole system right now. It’s important that the players can implement what we want in a short space of time.”
