Werder Bremen achieved a 3-3 draw against Leverkusen despite being outnumbered, but the joy of the late comeback was mixed with the question: Can Bremen add further reinforcements to their core squad?
By Thomas Hürner , Bremen
Leonardo Bittencourt, that much is certain, does not have an archive in which one can look up all the facts, details, and curiosities about SV Werder Bremen . The midfielder made that clear on Saturday, at least. Bittencourt was asked in the catacombs of Bremen's Weserstadion whether he had ever experienced a game like this before: 1-3 down, outnumbered, but still picking himself up against a Champions League participant and, with almost touching support from the stands, conjuring up a 3-3 draw literally in the last minute. If one had to "look in the archives," Bittencourt replied that he did not know whether it had ever happened before. Judging by his expression, happiness clearly outweighed ignorance.
