The most important facts from the last few months have shown that Werder have found a real stability, especially at home. Kohfeldt’s team are now unbeaten for almost a year in the Weser-Stadion. Ludwig Augustinsson has talked about a “great feeling around the squad at the moment”, with the potential for a lot more to come.
“Everything is a lot easier if you win games. Coming into training every day and remembering where you are in the league table really helps to motivate you,” stated the Swede. He is hoping that the team won’t be resting on their laurels: “We have played some very solid football in the last few weeks and have had a lot of good results. Nevertheless, I’m sure that we’ll improve in the coming months.”
The 24-year-old backed up this statement by pointing to the “enormous potential of the team.” He also feels that “the players will all carrying improving in the next few games.” Florian Kohfeldt also believes the team has improved, commenting: “I have noticed now that it’s not hard now for the team to believe that they can win difficult games. The squad and the fans have developed the ability to carry on working hard throughout the season instead of relaxing after wins.”
The Green-White fans are also a contributing factor for Werder’s very strong home form in the last year. “It’s a special feeling to play at home with the fans supporting us. When you go into the stadium, you can get the feeling that fans and players are strong together and can win games together”, said the left-back, who appreciates the supports of the Werder fans. The excellent run of form at home should be built upon against Leverkusen on Sunday afternoon.
