After failing to cement a place for himself in the first team at Bayern Munich, Germany international Tim Borowski (pictured) is returning to Werder Bremen, the club where he began his professional football career. But he will now have to fight hard for a place under the sun.
After joining Bayern last summer, Borowski displayed the same confidence he had shown at Werder: in November, for example, his FTBL rating moved beyond the 90-point mark. But the 29-year-old lost his bearings in the second phase of the Bundesliga, and his rating spiraled downward to a lowly 26.30 points.
At Werder Borowski will have to compete hard with such established names in the club as skipper and Germany international Torsten Frings (69.52 points) and Mesut Ozil (78.44 points), as well as foreign players such as Dane Daniel Jensen (47.15 points) and Croatian Jurica Vranjes (13.34 points), not to mention a younger player such as Peter Niemeyer (25.31 points).
Borowski could “benefit” form the fact that Jensen, who finished the season with the best rating among midfielders in the team, is prone to injury. That certainly leaves chances of first-team action for the Germany international.
