Bundesliga-Relegation: A Bremer Party after the disaster season

Florian Kohfeldt not knew to the game so what to do with himself and his emotions. So, only once the face in the hands may be buried in the tired eyes firmly against the still slightly sweaty palm presses and, above all, take a deep breath. Then he said a sentence that fit so perfect to this 2:2 (1:0) in the return leg of the Bundesliga Relegation on Monday night against the 1. FC Heidenheim – and even much better fit for the largely botched round by Werder Bremen, which had saved with this draw, just before the threat of relegation to the second division: "Shit season, good ending."
