Nearly a week has passed since the victory in Mainz and the Werder players are packing their bags in readiness for another away day. This time the destination is Wolfsburg’s Volkswagen Arena and the opponent finds itself in a similar predicament to that of Werder, somewhat lower down the league table than many would have expected at the start of the season. The winter signings of Malli, Ntep and Bazoer clearly shows the intentions of the Lower Saxony club, but they haven’t yet had the desired effect. Werder head coach Alexander Nouri is well aware of the “extreme quality” in the Wolfsburg side. “Their team is packed with extreme quality. When you look at the table, you think this team is below where it should be. We know what a difficult and demanding game it will be.”
