Description
One of Germany’s most famous clubs Werder Bremen are on a crest of a wave, at the weekend the club celebrated their 125th birthday in style with a 1-0 win over Mainz. Historically, only Bayern and Dortmund are more successful than Bremen. Since we beckoned in a new year, Werder Bremen have started showing stoic resolve. Werder’s men have now gone seven straight Bundesliga games without defeat, claiming four wins and three draws , they have not tasted defeat since a 2-0 loss against high-flying Stuttgart way back on the 2nd of December. It's not just on the pitch where Werder are looking a professional outfit but off it too, funded by new investors they exploded into the transfer market in January hovering up youthful talent from around most notably Isak Hansen-Aaroen from Manchester United.
