Werder Bremen scores against Schalke 04: Ömer Toprak shines – score 1.5!

SV Werder Bremen played 1-1 against FC Schalke 04 in the top game in the second division. The players in the individual review – with grades.

Jiri Pavlenka: For a long time hardly got a chance to distinguish himself, but was there when he was needed – up to the 82nd minute: Fended off a long-range shot from Zalazar forward and enabled Terodde to make it 1-0. Grade 4.5

Christian Groß: The veteran was needed in the defensive chain after the failures of Friedl and Veljkovic and did his job properly, even if he made minor mistakes here and there. Missed a good opportunity up front (21st). Grade 3.5

Ömer Toprak: The captain was back in the starting line-up for the first time since matchday six and gave his team security in the defense center. Shone early on with a surgically precise tackle against Bülter and later rescued several times. Acted variably in the game structure. Grade 1.5

Anthony Jung: Gave the left part of the Bremer Dreierkette and delivered there, apart from small wobbles, a mostly solid performance. Was largely limited to the defensive and avoided unnecessary risk in his actions. Note 3

Ilia Gruev: As a six in front of the defense, very attentive and surprisingly cleared up for his young age of 21 years. Almost always had his head up and after winning the ball he immediately searched the way forward with speed. Grade 2

Werder Bremen in scores against Schalke 04: Leonardo Bittencourt toxic, but too playful

Manuel Mbom (up to 88th): It was an overall good performance by the 21-year-old, who pleased with great commitment and his tough duel. Was on the road a lot, but sometimes had problems keeping up on the defensive against the fast Schalke players. Note 3

Leonardo Bittencourt (up to 79th): For him it was the first home game outing of the season. Full throttle right from the start. But he did not succeed in everything. Introduced a Schalke chance with a bad pass (11th). Acted enormously poisonous in his actions, but was sometimes a bit too playful. Grade 3.5

Felix Agu (up to 88th): Pavlenka demanded early with an unsuccessful return of the header (10th). On the right wing tried again and again for accents, but his flanks lacked the necessary precision. Also gave away a good counter chance (50th). Grade 4

Romano Schmid (up to 63rd): Funny joke? Was there. Mission? Likewise. What the Austrian once again lacked was making the right decisions at the crucial moment. Often looked unhappy, but never gave up. Grade 3.5

Marvin Ducksch: Involved in almost every attack in Bremen, but did not come to an end for a long time. Only his header in half two caused danger (63.). Its standards did not get accurate enough. Grade 4

Werder Bremen scores against Schalke 04: Niclas Füllkrug scores with a penalty to make it 1-1

Niclas filling jug: Fixed many long balls. Missed the best Bremen chance before the break because Palsson cleared the line (32nd). His direct decrease after the move was too high (58th). Radiated great presence, took responsibility – and scored from the point to the late 1: 1. Grade 2

Oscar Schönfelder (from 63rd): Should bring new momentum to the offensive via the left wing, but remained without a scene worth mentioning. Grade –

Eren Dinkci (from 79.): Came as a joker for the final phase, but no longer stabbed. Grade –

Roger Assalé (from 88.): Got the penalty in stoppage time. Grade –

Mitchell Weiser (from 88.): Couldn’t set any more accents. Grade –

Werder Bremen line-up against Schalke 04: Ömer Toprak back in the starting line-up

Update (November 20, 2021, 7.30 p.m.): Now the lineups are here! Ömer Toprak is back! The whole starting eleven and everything else is available in the Live ticker for Werder Bremen against Schalke 04!

SV Werder Bremen will play at home against FC Schalke 04 on matchday 14 of the 2nd Bundesliga. This is how the starting line-up could look like!

Bremen – After the all-important 2-1 win at 1. FC Nürnberg, the SV Werder Bremen in the second division home game against the FC Schalke 04 (Saturday, 8.30 p.m.) it is essential to top up – trainer Markus beginning will be his Starting line-up but have to change powerfully.

Werder Bremen line-up: is Ömer Toprak in the starting line-up against Schalke 04?

The central defenders Milos Veljkovic (muscle injury) and Marco Friedl (yellow card suspension, corona infection) and midfielder Nicolai Rapp (yellow card suspension) are all unavailable, which is the beginning of his rebuilding Starting XI forces. Basically, it can be assumed that the coach of the SV Werder Bremen also against Schalke 04 back on a 3-5-2 formation. After all, the team had felt very comfortable with it recently and also had success. After the training impressions this week, the Bremen three-man chain in front of goalkeepers Jiri Pavlenka probably off Christian Groß (32), Ömer Toprak (32) and Anthony Jung (30) exist. Lars Lukas Mai (21) is an alternative to Groß. However, it should start with his Lineup against Schalke rather rely on experience in the defense chain. In addition, May had not been in top form recently.

Werder Bremen starting XI: Can Felix Agu play on the right wing again?

If Groß is needed in the back, he is no longer a Rapp representative in midfield. Ilia Gruev should be placed as a six anyway, in front of that offer themselves Manuel Mbom and Leonardo Bittencourt as eighth. For the two wing positions, the one who has recovered should be Felix Agu (right) as well as Romano Schmid (left) be the favorites. Agu has cured his calf problems. Schmid had recently gained a lot of self-confidence with a total of three goals for Austria’s U21s. The dual leadership of the SV Werder Bremen will meanwhile very likely to come out again Marvin Ducksch and Niclas filling jug exist, which had recently convinced both of them absolutely.
