Everyone knows that when you're a striker waiting for a goal, and it just doesn't happen, it feels especially good to score the 3-0 at the right moment, even more so when you come off the bench,\u201d Kobel said, adding: \u201cWe are a team. We're all there for each other, and I'm extremely happy for anyone who scores a goal. And at a moment like this even more so.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img src=\"/content/dam/bvbweb/en/news/2026/01/14/bl-nachbericht/Kobel-Interview-Bremen.jpg\" data-assetref=\"Kobel-Interview-Bremen-1768383116484\"><\/p>\n<p>Perhaps it also helped Guirassy that he hadn't had to battle the robust Bremen defenders for 83 minutes first. Instead, he was fit and fresh when he received a \u201cgift\u201d in the form of an error by Amos Pieper which happened practically on the penalty spot from where he fired a shot scoring the 3-0. It was his sixth league goal of the season. \u201cThe plan worked. In the second half games open up. As a striker, you also need a bit of luck, that the ball falls right at your feet,\u201d Kovac noted: \u201cIt's important that he scored, not just for himself, but also for us as a team. Without goals, you don't win games, and you don't achieve your objectives.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The team has now scored three goals in each of the two consecutive matches to start the new year: first in the 3-3 in Frankfurt, then in the 3-0 against Bremen.

I told that to the team at halftime.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless Kovac later stated: \u201cIt's always primarily about the A-rating. The overall impression is an added bonus. We can improve in that area. We are pleased with the team's development. In the first half of this season, we have only lost one match.\u201d<br>\n<img src=\"/content/dam/bvbweb/en/news/2026/01/13/bl-fakten/97M-Kobel.jpg\" data-assetref=\"97M-Kobel-1768382601832\"><\/p>\n<p>The fact that the team turned the game around against Bremen in front of a sold-out crowd, was due to two things: firstly, a strong performance by goalkeeper Gregor Kobel, who reacted quickly to thwart Bremen's only two chances of the match in the first 18 minutes, and secondly, a tactical adjustment by the coach, who changed his approach after 66 minutes, by letting substitutes Serhou Guirassy and Jobe Bellingham join the game and switching from a 3-4-3 to a 3-5-2 formation. \u201cWe had to switch to three midfielders and two strikers in order to create compactness in midfield.\u201d After Nico Schlotterbeck early 1-0 (11), the next crucial goals to 2-0 and 3-0 by Marcel Sabitzer (76) and Guirassy (83) \u2013 the latter prompted by a pressing Bellingham.<\/p>\n<p><img src=\"/content/dam/bvbweb/en/news/2026/01/14/bl-nachbericht/Jubel-Bremen.jpg\" data-assetref=\"Jubel-Bremen-1768382987960\"><\/p>\n<p>The end of the top scorer's goalless period prompted goalkeeper Gregor Kobel to sprint from one end of the pitch to the other. \u201cI am really happy of course for him. Everyone knows that when you're a striker waiting for a goal, and it just doesn't happen, it feels especially good to score the 3-0 at the right moment, even more so when you come off the bench,\u201d Kobel said, adding: \u201cWe are a team. We're all there for each other, and I'm extremely happy for anyone who scores a goal. And at a moment like this even more so.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img src=\"/content/dam/bvbweb/en/news/2026/01/14/bl-nachbericht/Kobel-Interview-Bremen.jpg\" data-assetref=\"Kobel-Interview-Bremen-1768383116484\"><\/p>\n<p>Perhaps it also helped Guirassy that he hadn't had to battle the robust Bremen defenders for 83 minutes first. Instead, he was fit and fresh when he received a \u201cgift\u201d in the form of an error by Amos Pieper which happened practically on the penalty spot from where he fired a shot scoring the 3-0. It was his sixth league goal of the season. \u201cThe plan worked. In the second half games open up. As a striker, you also need a bit of luck, that the ball falls right at your feet,\u201d Kovac noted: \u201cIt's important that he scored, not just for himself, but also for us as a team. Without goals, you don't win games, and you don't achieve your objectives.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The team has now scored three goals in each of the two consecutive matches to start the new year: first in the 3-3 in Frankfurt, then in the 3-0 against Bremen. On Sunday FC St. Pauli visits SIGNAL IDUNA PARK, a team with a score to settle after the 3-3 draw (after a 3-1 lead) in the first leg.<br>\n<i>Boris Rupert<\/i><\/p>\n","exportedType":"text/html"},"id":"editable-b14cd9ee33","prio":{"multiLine":false,"dataType":"boolean","name":"prio","title":"Prio (Clubplatform)","multiValue":false,"value":true,"exportedType":"boolean"},"headline":{"multiLine":false,"dataType":"string","name":"headline","title":"Headline","multiValue":false,"value":"Everyone's happy with Guirassy \u2013 Kovac's clever move paves the way to victory","exportedType":"text/plain"},"author":{"multiLine":false,"dataType":"string","name":"author","title":"Author","multiValue":false,"exportedType":"text/plain"},"teaserType":"relatedContent","match":{"multiLine":true,"dataType":"content-fragment","name":"match","html":"<p>/content/dam/bvbweb/en/matches/football/profis/2025_2026/22/2569189_17_borussiadortmund-svwerderbremen<\/p>","title":"Related Match","multiValue":false,"value":"/content/dam/bvbweb/en/matches/football/profis/2025_2026/22/2569189_17_borussiadortmund-svwerderbremen","exportedType":"text/plain"},"externalId":{"multiLine":false,"dataType":"string","name":"externalId","title":"External ID (Clubplatform)","multiValue":false,"value":"-1928612394","exportedType":"text/plain"},"displayOnHome":{"multiLine":false,"dataType":"boolean","name":"displayOnHome","title":"Display in news wall on homepage","multiValue":false,"value":true,"exportedType":"boolean"},"url":{"multiLine":false,"dataType":"string","name":"url","title":"Vanity URL (LEAVE EMPTY FOR AUTOMATIC VANITY URL.
