Werder Bremen midfielder Romano Schmid is set to participate in the World Cup with Austria and aims to showcase his skills. On Wednesday, he will face Jordan in the first group stage match. Schmid has a good chance of starting in the lineup of national coach Ralf Rangnick. The 26-year-old played in all 34 Bundesliga matches for Werder last season, scoring four goals and providing eight assists. The World Cup is also a stage for Schmid to recommend himself for a possible contract extension or transfer. His contract with Werder expires next summer. Schmid said before the first World Cup match that he was happy to be with the national team, after Werder had to fight for relegation in the previous season. Other Werder players like Marco Friedl will sit on the bench, as the competition in the defense is too strong with David Alaba and Kevin Danso. Schmid already participated in the 2024 European Championship in Germany and wants to perform better at the World Cup. If we show our face and bring our DNA onto the pitch, then we can dream, said Schmid. Then we can assume that we can go far. The World Cup offers Schmid the chance to present himself on the big stage and prove his skills. Werder fans hope that he takes his chance and recommends himself for the future. Schmid's participation in the World Cup is a great opportunity for him to gain experience and improve his skills. He will face strong opponents, but he is confident in his abilities. With his speed and agility, he can be a valuable asset to the Austrian team. Werder fans will be watching his performance closely, hoping that he will make a good impression and secure his future at the club.
