Werder have not lost when he has scored: Milot Rashica is in great form at the moment and has had a direct hand in 12 goals in the last 12 games. Werder’s number seven was again the deciding factor against Wolfsburg his two goals helped the team to secure a first win in eight games. Nevertheless, the ‘rocket’ remains grounded: “He’s still the same,” said Theodor Gebre Selassie in an interview ahead of the game against Paderborn.
Theodor Gebre Selassie felt relieved in training this week after the win against VfL Wolfsburg: “We’re in a better situation now because last week was very tense. The next game is just as important as the last. We need to secure the points again.”
The team will need to be especially wary of Paderborn’s threat on the counter and will have to keep a close eye on their speedy forwards. SV Werder are also more than capable of causing the opposition problems, especially with Milot Rashica in the team. Both his teammates and Florian Kohfeldt are aware of the qualities the Kosovo international possesses.
“When he’s feeling confident he’s difficult to stop. His pace and finishing make him one of the best in the league in his position. We’re happy to have him here. He’s a player that can make the difference,” said Gebre Selassie. Rashica could very well be in the spotlight again on Sunday (18:00 CET).
