Who scored the first goal for Bremen? I caught the game for the final 18 minutes and Aron was already in the bench, the highlights show what appears to be Aron connecting on a header.
Arjo had a good open opportunity with a header off of a set piece inside the opening 10 minutes which he sent wide unfortunately. Not much other than that. Pizarro came on with 10 minutes left and stole the show. Love that guy but he just won't have the legs to start many games this year at his age. Ujah and Arjo will be the starters with Pizza coming on as the super-sub. As a Werder/USMNT fan, I'm excited about this forward trio and Johannsson's opportunity in this squad.
"Gallo viejo con el ala mata" = The old rooster kills with the wing, old Spanish proverb that means old people don't need to exert themselves as much as the young ones to win, since they have a lot more experience behind.
Or this one, A young and an old bull were sitting on a hill, The young bull says "Look at the cows, let's run down and get us a cow" The old bull replied "No, let's walk down and get them all"
Haha long story short, Pizarro is a pure goal scorer and will always find a way to be dangerous and score goals. However, he just doesn't have the stamina to displace Arjo for 90 minutes every match. I expect to see Johannsson either start, or replace Pizarro each game this year. I was worried that since he is replacing Franco Di Santo, who was our only real goalscorer over the last few years, Johannsson would be expected to try and make up for Di Santo's producttion. Fortunately, with Ujah, Pizarro, and Johannsson rotating, he should feel relieved that it is not falling solely to him. This should help him acclimate and start scoring goals.
Werder does have a lethal striker coming up through their u23s. Hoping for the best, but Arjo needs to do a little more going forward, or he's going to have some heat on his tail especially if Werder is struggling to score goals.
Sic semper football, no? It's good he's playing for the kind of club where production is expected. Will help him step up his game.
Other roosters, more than likely. Some birds have a lot of power in their wings. A fellow walking by a catchment pond near here, came too close to a goose nest. When the gander approached him hissing, he didn't back off. He thought it was funny! The gander attacked him, he put his arms up to protect himself, and the gander broke one of the guy's arms with a blow from one of his wings.
That may be less of a commentary on the strength of the bird than the weakness of the man. Just sayin... How's the arm anyway?
You meant mine? That wasn't me. I've grown up around farms and animals, and know enough to back-off when an animal approaches you with threatening sounds/actions, especially one that is protecting it's young.
In Winoman's defense (not that he needs any but I'm avoiding productive work at the moment.) http://listverse.com/2013/01/03/top-10-birds-most-likely-to-kill-you/ The Mute Swan is one of the world’s largest waterfowl – not to mention one of the most aggressive and territorial. The birds are native to Eurasia, but have been introduced to many other parts of the world – most famously North America. Mute Swans, unlike other swan species, nest in park ponds, community lakes and other sites frequented by humans, and defend their nest fiercely against potential predators. If a human approaches the lakeshore nest, the 26 pound bird will hiss and charge. The swan strikes its opponent with muscular wings that can span over 7 feet, and pecks and shoves until the threat is mitigated. Serious injuries – including broken bones, bruises and eye injuries – can occur. In one tragic case, a property caretaker drowned after being pushed out of a kayak by Mute Swans his own company had established on a lakeside community. So, let's just hope AJ's bird in the hand doesn't get him attacked by two from Jeb Bush, or something like that...
I have heard of a similar story with a swan. Edit: I just learned that Freisland knows a lot more about this topic than I do.
