Werder Bremen keeper Mio Backhaus has reverted to his natural dark hair, dubbing it a 'fighting hairstyle' to help the team in their relegation fight. The 21-year-old Germany U21 No. 1 believes the change will help his side collect more Bundesliga points as they battle against the drop.
Despite Bremen's lowly position in the table, Backhaus remains confident in his team's chances, saying, 'I'm fairly certain that at the end of it all we'll stand there and say, Wow, that was a difficult but ultimately successful season.' He also acknowledged that competition from Arsenal loanee Karl Hein helped motivate him to improve his game after Hein filled in for him in September.
