Goalscorer Niclas Füllkrug paid credit to the squad after a disturbing and eventful day at SVW. “I expected the older lads to be able to deal with what happened today,” said the attacker, but he was surprised by the reaction and conduct of the younger players to the news that Markus Anfang was to step down as Werder head coach following his impending investigation. “The way that put the events of the last few days behind them wasn’t easy,” added Füllkrug, who scored a late equaliser to rescue a point for Werder Bremen against FC Schalke 04 (1-1).
