Team Spirit Drives Late Comeback

The 24-year-old goalkeeper has started every fixture this season except for a DFB-Pokal match against Lüneburg, establishing himself as a reliable presence who also stopped a penalty earlier in the campaign in Cologne. werder.de reported that Hein views his role in Bremen as more than standard employment, describing his time at the club as living a childhood dream to play in a major league for a prominent team.

Egal, ob zuhause oder auswärts. Wir geben nicht auf und glauben daran, dass wir überall Punkte holen können. Jetzt sind wir zuletzt zweimal in Folge in der Schlussphase zurückgekommen. Das spricht für unseren Teamspirit.
