Then, he revealed why he chose Bremen over other offers: “It was decided on the last day, there were also other options, some from Spain, for example. I wanted to play for a new club and I’m glad it was Werder, because here I expect further development. For me It was very important to stay in the Bundesliga, because in another league it would have taken me longer to adapt. But I want to help the team quickly.”
