“I look back at my time at VfB Oldenburg with fond memories, so I am obviously looking forward to this match and also to seeing one or two familiar faces again,” Nouri explained. Ralf Voigt, sporting director at VfB, likewise is looking forward to the opportunity for his team to test themselves against top-flight opposition. “It’s always really exciting having a match against Werder Bremen and this is an excellent one-off opportunity for our boys to pit themselves against Bundesliga opposition. We’re delighted that this opportunity has arisen.”
