"The Munich side triumphed as expected, but reaching the final was nevertheless a historic event for Bremen. A lot's happened on the Weser since that evening. The club, long seen as underdogs and relegation candidates, have realigned their football and are presenting themselves in a new guise under new management: more structured, braver, with a greater drive towards possession and greater willingness to take risks in pressing."
"When Bremen visit Munich on Saturday, it's not only a repeat of a final, but also a mini test of the development of a team who are playing with a new confidence on the back of their most successful ever season. fcbayern.com takes a look at that campaign, the changes on the touchline and reveals which attacking players Bayern need to pay particularly close attention to."
"All eyes were on Cologne at the end of last season for Bremen as they reached the DFB Cup final for the first time. Although Werder came up short against Bayern, the team were hailed like winners after the match for their achievements over the year. They proved in both the quarter- and semi-finals that they can be a strong team in knockout football, demonstrating their passion and strength of nerve."
Werder Bremen reached the DFB Cup final for the first time and completed their best-ever league campaign, finishing seventh with a record 29 points. The cup run featured a surprise victory against Bayer Leverkusen and a dramatic northern derby win over Hamburg in extra time while a player down, in front of a then-record 57,000 crowd. The team avoided relegation early, allowing focus on cup progression. New management has reorganised the squad into a more structured, possession-oriented side that presses more boldly and takes greater tactical risks. The Munich visit becomes a test of Bremen’s development and newfound confidence.
