🎥 Still holding a grudge? This is how Werder fans responded to Zetterer | OneFootball

For Michael Zetterer, the first game for his new club Eintracht Frankfurt was very special. After all, he faced his former teammates from Bremen this afternoon, with whom he had trained and showered together just a few days ago. Zetterer had recently switched from the Weser to the Main as a replacement for Trapp.

Sportingly, it couldn't have gone better: Eintracht won 4:1 - and Zetterer was helpless with the only chance of a counter goal. After the game, there was a reunion with the Werder fans, to whom Zetterer is still very close after ten years in the green and white jersey - and they to him.

Accompanied by loud applause and chants, Zetterer went to the curve and thanked them with applause, gestures of respect, and the obligatory thumbs up. The 30-year-old also hugged his former teammates - with whom he had been eliminated from the DFB Cup the previous week - after the Bremen defeat, encouraged them, and did some rebuilding work.

After the win against his "old love", he said at the 'Sky' microphone: It was kind of weird. But I wanted to start with a win, unfortunately, there's no mercy in football.

Nevertheless, the story of Zetterer's departure and his short-term return in front of the Bremen fan curve teaches us that you can even part ways in football on good terms and don't always have to be angry.
