After Friday night's game between Werder Bremen and Hertha BSC (1-0), not only sporting things were in the foreground. A beer mug throw on the Berliner Bank drove both Hertha coach Sandro Schwarz and Werder's Ole Werner upset.

"First and foremost I would like to say that this has nothing to do with the Bremen fans," emphasized Schwarz at the press conference after the game. "There are always individuals in football who behave like this. There are four or five people who come up with the idea of ​​throwing beer mugs - it's antisocial and cowardly."

During the game, the Berliner Bank was the target of cups thrown - although Bremen's stadium announcer Arnd Zeigler had asked the supporters in clear words before kick-off to refrain from this behavior.

At the end of the 90 minutes, the TV pictures also showed how Sandro Schwarz pointed to the perpetrator several times and confronted him about his offence. "You should stand up after the game, show your face, then you can talk about it," the Hertha coach justified his behavior, but then added: "But I don't know if it's just talking."

Schwarz received support from his Bremen counterpart Ole Werner. Werner took the floor without being asked and fully agreed with his colleague: "It's an absolute absurdity. I don't know how people come up with the idea of ​​paying 50 or 60 euros for such a place and then thinking they have a right to take it out. I find that completely wrong. It has no place in a stadium. I can only apologize for that – on behalf of me."

"It's great sport, Ole!" Schwarz thanked him afterwards for the clear words. It is not yet known whether and what punishment the cup thrower faces.
