St. Pauli is fighting for three points: Blessin demands victory in Bremen!
There's been a lot going on at FC St. Pauli in the last few days. trainer Alexander Blessin (born 1973) appeared optimistically in front of the press after the narrow 1:2 defeat against Leverkusen. Despite losing the game, his team put in a remarkable performance with 6 shots on target - compared to just 4 for the visitors. The superiority at the corners was also noticeable, where St. Pauli clearly dominated with 13:1. The xGoals value also demonstrated the good performance of the Kiezkickers with 1.09 to 0.81.
This positive reaction to the last defeat was crucial for Blessin because he saw many aspects that speak for the upcoming game against Werder Bremen on Saturday. “It also has to hurt in order to achieve a faster learning effect,” emphasized the coach and announced that he would apply these findings in the next game.
The way to more points
With regard to the upcoming northern derby, the mood at St. Pauli is clearly optimistic. Both teams, St. Pauli and Werder Bremen, have lost their last two games, with Bremen losing 3-0 to Freiburg and 4-0 to Bayern Munich. Left-back Louis Oppie highlights the urgency of a win before the international break. It's not just about points, but also about the team's self-confidence.
The players also emphasized how crucial duels are for the team's success. Hauke Wahl said that such duels in the game are crucial to take control of the action. Blessin wants to make sure his players maintain that mindset in the games to come.
Coach in focus
Coach changes in the 1st Bundesliga are not unusual. According to Statista, there have been numerous changes in the history of the league from 1963 to 2025 that can have an impact on the teams' performance. Blessin himself has had an eventful career that took him to St. Pauli via various stations such as Ostend and Genoa. Despite ups and downs in his coaching career so far, Blessin is determined to get St. Pauli back on track. The current overall record of 243 games, spread across various clubs, shows that he has experience, even if St. Pauli is looking at a 26.19 percent win rate this season.
Looking ahead to the upcoming games and hoping for better results, FC St. Pauli is taking one step after another to achieve its outstanding goals. The next games promise a lot of excitement and action, not least because of the upcoming international break, which will briefly interrupt the Bundesliga after the northern duel.
