Amos Pieper only moved to Werder Bremen last summer. Looking back, he can report on a quick debut and great team spirit. He has never experienced anything like this before, he reported.
The sealed relegation of Arminia Bielefeld also meant the end of Amos Pieper’s contract. SV Werder, who returned to the top flight from the second division at the same time, did not hesitate and signed the central defender.
Already at the beginning of the season, Pieper quickly belonged to the starting XI. Of the 14 games in the first half of the season that he was able to complete (one yellow card suspension), he only failed to play once from the start. A testament to the fact that he was able to perform quickly and found his way into the team early on.
The latter seems to be anything but a problem at Werder. The feel-good factor, as Pieper now explained to kicker, is a great strength of the climber,
“We do a lot together, even off the pitch,” he said. That’s not unusual so far, but he “hasn’t experienced it that often before,” as the 24-year-old emphasized.
“Actually, no one is ever alone,” he continued. This also enables newcomers to quickly feel at home within the team and around the club. It’s not like “you just hang out with the same guys – so we know a little more about each other than just football-specific things.” An aspect that sets Werder apart from many other clubs.
He sees the success of the previous season as the background for such a positive cooperation: “I can imagine that it grew through the great success of the last year – and how it came about: the emotional rise when the whole city was behind it. “
Of course, something like this not only helps when settling in as a new player, but also “if you want to achieve your goals as a team”.
