##...PREPARATION

The boys are operating at a good Bundesliga level. We focus on turning a good season into a very good one. I’m happy for the team and looking forward to our matches next year. If you watch a lot of Bochum games, you notice that it doesn’t look pretty when you play against them.

…INJURY REPORT

Michael Zetterer will start for the match. We’ve got to start the players who will give us the best chance of winning. It goes without saying that Pavlenka, Nick Woltemade and Christian Groß will all receive worthy send-offs regardless.

...INJURY REPORT

Michael Esser, Moritz-Broni Kwarteng, Mohammed Tolba and Philipp Förster are still not available. Felix Passlack is suspended for the game in Bremen. All other players are ready to play.

…OPPONENT

Werder Bremen still has a chance of international business if all the results go in their favour. They are playing a very solid round and are also very strong at home. They play very physical and want to play football. They have very interesting types of players in their ranks. Bremen will absolutely try to win against us – also to say goodbye to the home crowd. We know it too, in the last home game you want to give it your all again.

…PREPARATION

We will train tomorrow at training ground T2. I don't know how many fans will come. I appreciate every single viewer who supports us in some way. It's a matter of respect to do public training sessions to give something back to the fans. Our fans support us incredibly, that's a huge bargaining chip for us. We want to demonstrate that we are a team. That's why it would of course be nice if everyone came along to support us. It's all about the team, no one is above the team. We need everyone - even if it's just attendance and someone isn't in the squad. We see each other so often and spend a lot of time together. It is important to go through this phase together.
