[LebenslangGruenWeiss]

Training starts on Thursday but the Bundesliga announced the game plan for next season today. We'll start @Bielefeld followed by a home match v. Schalke. We play @Bayern on the fifth matchday and our last match of the Hinrunde will be @home against Wolfsburg. (Which means that the last league match of the season will be @Wolfsburg.)

Pretty good game plan imo since we have the other title competetors spread out well. I don't like it that we won't have a homematch on the last gameday and that we'll have to start the campaign on the road though.

Derbystar has provided Werder with a new ball for this season that will be used in the home matches. So far the players and coaches like it.

[LebenslangGruenWeiss]

Schaaf still has his rubber-band fetish . What's new though is that the players are wearing transmitters on their bodys during training sessions.

and we also have a new fitness coach. I think the management is really hoping to avoid so many injuries again.

The first test match of the preseason has just kicked off. Opponent is the current champion of the Bezirksoberliga-Lüneburg: TSV Ottersberg

Werder starts with this lineup:

Wiese
Boenisch, Naldo, Prödl, Tosic
Bargfrede, Baumann, Jensen, Hunt
Heider, Testroet

And it's 2:0 already after 5 minutes. Goals by 17 year old Pascal Testroet and Aaron Hunt.

you can watch the game on werder.tv

[LebenslangGruenWeiss]

it ended 5:1. Goals scored by Testroet, Hunt, Jensen, Andersen and Heider. Peter scored for Ottersberg.

At the halftime schaaf took out all the players but Prödl and Heider. Second half lineup looked like this:

Pellatz
Erdem, Andersen, Prödl, Kruse
Vranjes, Niemeyer, Husejinovic, Özil
Heider, Harnik


The second test match is tomorrow already before they'll have their first training camp on the island Norderney.
