Werder Bremen’s Leonardo Bittencourt reported complicated days after his clear words about squad planning and professional football director Clemens Fritz. “It wasn’t easy,” said the 30-year-old after Bremen’s 1-1 draw in the Bundesliga game at VfL Bochum. With regard to Fritz and sports director Frank Baumann, he said: “Frank and Clemens told me clearly what they thought of it and then that’s fine with me. I have neither a problem with Clemens nor with Frank. “
Bittencourt had recently, among other things, called for new players for Werder and criticized Fritz for mentioning the 7-1 defeat at 1. FC Köln in January 2023 after the friendly defeat at Eintracht Braunschweig. “I may have said things that were in my opinion, but perhaps weren’t really correct. Everyone has to decide that for themselves,” said Bittencourt. “I stand by what I said. It’s nothing bad either. I didn’t make a sweeping blow, I just expressed my opinion to some extent.”
