Bremen (dpa) - Werder Bremen's coach Florian Kohfeldt reacted with great relief to his team's 2-1 victory against the Champions League candidate Eintracht Frankfurt.
This surprising success in the Friday evening game of the Bundesliga gave the table twelfth, at least for the time being, a comfortable lead over the relegation places and thus reduced the pressure before the next two league games with the direct rivals 1.FC Köln (March 7) and Arminia Bielefeld (10 . March).
"We have put ourselves in the position that these are not existential games for us, but positive games for us," said Kohfeldt in an interview with journalists from Bremen.
“We achieved what I kept saying: I don't want this young team to get this existential pressure too early this season.
So that there is a certain security and development. "
That was achieved with the win against Frankfurt «.
And we can ruin that with the next two games.
These two games are very important to us.
I don't build up any additional pressure. "
Bremen had turned the game against fourth place in the table after an early deficit by André Silva (9th minute) with goals from Theodor Gebre Selassie (47th) and Joshua Sargent (62nd).
Shortly after the final whistle, midfielder Romano Schmid spoke in a DAZN interview of a “reparation for the Hoffenheim game”.
Because only five days earlier, Werder had lost 4-0 at 1899 Hoffenheim after a very poor performance.

«Let's not kid ourselves», said Kohfeldt: «You lose 4-0 in Hoffenheim.
And if you get 4-0 again against Frankfurt, then you can say what you want.
Then you come into a spiral.
That's why there was a lot at stake for us today without anything having been achieved. "
