WERDER.DE: You've transferred from 1. FC Nürnberg, who were promoted to the top flight this season. Did you have to think long when Werder's offer came?
Kevin Möhwald: “Honestly, I didn’t have to think long about whether to move or not. But the interest from Werder came and it was clear to me – if I were to move, it would only be to Werder. The talks with the management really convinced me and I’m sure that a lot can be achieved in the next few years.”
WERDER.DE: Werder’s sporting director, Frank Baumann, also transfered from Nürnberg to the Green-Whites in 1999. Have you both already spoken about that?
Kevin Möhwald: “Of course, we’ve spoken about a lot and also about that. Frank Baumann obviously said that a move from Nürnberg to Bremen already worked out very well once before (laughs).”
WERDER.DE: What were the main reasons for your move here?
Kevin Möhwald: “Definitely the talks with the management. I want to build on more successful times here. In the second half of last season, Werder proved, in my opinion, that they’re going in the right direction again, so I wanted the move. When I was in talks with Werder, I was hooked straight way.”
WERDER.DE: You were one of Nürnberg’s top performers last season with seven goals in 31 games. What role do you see yourself having at Werder? What are your personal goals?
Kevin Möhwald: “First of all, I want to start well and integrate myself into the team. I also want to bring my footballing qualities. My personal goal is to get as many appearances as possible and become important to the team. To do that, I’ll be giving my all from July 2nd.”
WERDER.DE: What do you think SVW can achieve next season?
Kevin Möhwald: “We shouldn’t talk about positions in the table. I think, we should presume that we will continue and improve on the path that was forged over the last half a year. I think that the right steps have been made and I’m looking forward to being able to join this journey.”
