Werder Bremen ready to battle in Greece
By: Jackson | October 21st, 2008
First off, I wanted to welcome everyone to Werder Bremen’s new blog. I want to thank everyone at The Offside and of-course Daryl for giving me to opportunity to write about Werder.
The Green-Whites has ventured down to Athens to face Panathinaikos tonight in a critical Champions League match. Presently they sit third in Group B with two draws and a victory would jettison their chances to advance to knockout round. The Athenian club, lead by Henk Ten Cate, were steamrollered in their last Champions League match 3-1 by Cypriot club Anorthosis and are more than aware that without a victory at home, advancing even farther in the tournament is unlikely. However their defensive weaknesses is a massive liability to Thomas Schaaf tactical play with Claudio Pizarro and Diego lighting up the attack.
Last weekend Werder fought to a 3-3 draw against Borussia Dortmund with Claudio Pizarro rescuing a draw with two late goals. Unfortunately they lost their number 1, Tim Wiese> who will be replaced by Christian Vander who’ll have the luxury of Per Mertesacker and Torsten Frings intent on keeping Panathinaikos attack lead by an apparently fit Giorgos Karagounis in-check.
