Werder will go into Saturday’s game against Hertha Berlin with a mixture of positive tension and belief in their strengths as they look to continue their impressive run of form. The pressure of the relegation scrap has now been lifted from the shoulders of the Green-Whites, however, there is now anticipation of what might lie in store for them. “The fact that the players now want to achieve more is positive. We now need to underline this point with our actions on the pitch. Anything we do now is a bonus having already reached our target,” said head coach Alexander Nouri at Thursday’s press conference. Central defender Lamine Sané said a similar thing, „We’re taking it one game at a time, aren’t putting too much pressure on ourselves and want to win as many games as possible.” The fact that Berlin are missing a number of first team players for Saturday’s encounter is not a factor. “We can’t let that influence us. We’ll need to be a tour best again in this game. We want to win this game,” said Nouri.
