Werder Bremen: Ajax Amsterdam is the model – that's why Davy Klaassen is working right now

Because Bremen now has a real star of the Netherlands – national player Davy Klabaden. Werder's record worked very well hours after his official performance in the 1-0 win at Bielefeld – and that has a lot to do with the Netherlands.

"Our system and our football are not unrelated to us, this is similar to Ajax, which is why it was not surprising to us that Davy was right in the game," Baumann said. about the longtime captain of Ajax Amsterdam.The top Dutch club, which produces talent year after year and who has qualified for the final of the Europa League with Klabaden there is a year, is practically the model of Werder.The coach Florian Kohfeldt wants to see his dominant team, so offensive, so aggressive and so fast.

Klabaden is supposed to be the clock

C & # 39; That's why Klabaden was also the absolute dream player.Of course, the officials always say after a commitment that the new player is 100% fit, but this time, that seems to be true. "That's why we We were ready to spend a lot of money, "says Baumann. to 13.5 million euros and premiums could still reach 15 million euros. Werder has never paid so much for a player in the club's history.

This is where the new man immediately strikes. It was Klabaden in the event on Friday night was successful. The 25-year-old athlete has moved skillfully into the interstices, which he has found in his new team, of course, again and again. Then he usually led the ball directly or sometimes took speed. A clock, as he would like Kohfeldt. Of course, not everything went very well.

But we should not expect more after a few hours of commitment. And yet, there was more: for Klabaden also demonstrated his scoring skills. He did not score 44 goals in 126 games of the Dutch Eredivisie and prepared another 30 for nothing. After an excellent preparatory work by Max Kruse, Maximilian Eggestein and Martin Harnik, he became icy. By the way, it was the winning goal in Bielefeld.

What happier Baumann at the goal was the team work. "We have to work as a team, Davy will not be able to go it alone," says Baumann, confident that he made the right decisions for the team: "We really have a good line of leaders now. Our success no longer depends so much on a player. "

Baumann warns against too much euphoria

This should certainly mean a Max Kruse. It's he who has made the difference most of the time. Now, the others are coming. Clabaden, of course. But also a Martin Harnik – or a Yuya Osako. The ex-Hanoverian and ex-Cologne have a lot of experience. Already existing staff, Maximilian Eggestein becomes more and more important. Florian Kainz wants to move to the next stage this year, as planned by Milot Rashica. The list could go a little further. In short, the prospects are good

But Baumann also warns against too much euphoria. "The matches have not yet been won," he said in view of the DFB Cup August 18 at Wormatia Worms, then the Bundesliga starts a week later at home against the Hannover 96. This remains difficult. Sunday at 14:30, friendly match in Groningen – in the land of Werder Ajax's model Amsterdam
