The most important information about Pizarro’s farewell game
Saturday is over…
Claudio Pizarro (43) played 490 times in the Bundesliga, 320 of which he ran for Werder on. This weekend, the ex-striker will officially stop playing and invited to a farewell game. The most important information about the game can be found here.
Who’s in?
Pizarro keeps a little secret about who exactly will appear. Pizarro finally: “It will be a surprise”.
What is certain, however, is that many former companions of the Werder legend will be there.
When casting the world selection, Pizarro only revealed that his brother Diego will be in the cast. “Other than that, the team consists of actors, other athletes and friends,” explains Pizarro.
Max Kruse, Maxi Eggestein, Torsten Frings, Per Mertesacker, Clemens Fritz, Marco Bode and Dieter Eilts have confirmed for Werder.
Bayern will include Giovane Elber, Paulo Sergio, Philipp Lahm and Owen Hargreaves. Pep Guardiola, Jupp Heynckes and Ottmar Hitzfeld are in demand as coaches. Thomas Schaaf will stand on the sidelines for Werder.
The tricot
To say goodbye to Pizarro, there’s an extra jersey – for which fans queued in a virtual queue for over an hour. The special thing about it is that it can be turned. On one side it is green with a diamond pattern. The other side is white and bears the “Adios Piza” logo. The green side is worn by the Werder players, the white and colored side by the world team.
