“That would mean that on the day before the game we’d spend a lot of time in the coach and on the plane”, the Spanish tactician added, explaining the reasons for his decision.
Anthony Ujah missed Bremen’s best chance to equalize when he shot straight at Manuel Neuer. We have had tremendous luck that Robert Lewandowski is not injured. “We have to take the positives going forward”, Wiedwald said after his side’s fifth consecutive defeat.
