That the derby has absolute priority for the Werder fans has already been plain to see in recent weeks. Last week, after the match against 1. FC Köln, the Bremen supporters were already rallying the team for the clash with their arch-rivals and underlined its importance with a major turnout at SVW’s final training session.
And on today’s matchday, Bremen’s fans once again showed what they think of their arch-rivals from Hamburg. Under the motto "We were your downfall, we remain your downfall," the Werder faithful unveiled a monster choreo in the truest sense of the word.
It remains to be seen whether that energy will rub off on the team. But the fans can definitely say they did everything they could to get the players fired up for the derby.
