Werder Bremen lost to Freiburg with a score of 0-1. Clemens Fritz, the managing director of professional football at Werder, showed frustration with critical questions in the mixed zone after the game. Fritz was approached by BILD regarding the fans' extreme anger after the defeat. The Werder boss interrupted the question and said: „We are all disappointed. Of course, I can understand that. It's not like anyone here is going home with a smile. The disappointment is huge, enormous, and I think everyone can see that.“ Daniel Thioune, the new coach of Werder, had replaced the fired Horst Steffen earlier in the week. Bremen has been winless for 10 games and has fallen to 16th place in the Bundesliga. Since St. Pauli beat VfB Stuttgart 2-1, the lead over the 17th place in the relegation zone is now only two points. Clemens Fritz was also asked about a quote from Werder professional Marco Friedl. Fritz interrupted again and said: „Not the club. We all. I don't want anyone to start pointing fingers here.“ The reporter said: „I think that's not what was meant ...“ Fritz then continued to scold the journalists and said when asked the next question: „That's enough“ and stormed off frustrated. After the 0-0 draw in Augsburg on December 20, Fritz was already very frustrated with some critical reporter questions. Now it's the 2nd time – the Werder boss's nerves are apparently thin at the moment. Werder Bremen must now work intensively to not lose faith. Clemens Fritz emphasized that the team must stay together as a group to be positive as a community. If they start trying to do everything alone, it will be nothing. The situation at Werder is tense, but the fans hope for a better future.
