😠 Werder left fuming after DFB-Pokal exit: Can spout the same old 💩 again | OneFootball

For Werder fans, tonight must have felt somewhat like a déjà vu. One of the very unpleasant kind. Because just six months ago, the Green-Whites were knocked out of the DFB-Pokal during an away game against Arminia Bielefeld.

In the 1st round of the new season, the story repeated itself: Once again, Werder leaves the frenetically celebrating Alm as the dejected loser. The late 0-1 by Isaiah Young sealed the renewed defeat.

No wonder, then, that captain Marco Friedl felt reminded of the 1-2 loss in February. "Now I'm standing here again and can talk the same crap," the Austrian explained frustrated in the post-game interview on 'Sky'.

They didn't actually play a bad game, but "if you don't score, you can't advance in the cup." Therefore, Bielefeld ultimately deserved to win. "They took advantage of their only real chance," Friedl stated.

When asked about the upcoming Bundesliga start, the 27-year-old sounded the alarm. "We need to get back on track," he demanded clearly. "We all need to do more." Because: "We've messed it up once before."

What do you think: Should the Bremen team be worried about the upcoming season? Or is it acceptable to lose at the Bielefeld Alm when playing with fewer players? Let us know in the comments!
