Werder will be Schmidt's first time playing for a Bundesliga club (Photo: W.DE).
**WERDER.DE: Bremen will be your first stint at a Bundesliga club. What was the deciding factor in your decision to join SVW?**
**Isaac Schmidt:** I've been familiar with the club for several years now, and Werder are a big club. I also love German football, the Bundesliga and the mentality here. There's plenty of good football being played here and the fans are fantastic. I also know that both Werder and the head coach, who joined ahead of the season, want to play good football.
**WERDER.DE: We've already seen how you're capable of playing on both flanks as a full-back. How would you describe your style of play?**
**Isaac Schmidt:** I've played several different positions over the course of my career, including both in offence and defence. I work hard to help the team, both mentally and physically. I think my strength is that I'm good at a lot of different things.
**WERDER.DE: Another of your former teammates at Leeds, Maximilian Wöber, is also now at Werder. Have you already spoken to each other?**
**Isaac Schmidt:** No, not yet. I wanted to reach out to him, but didn't because the transfer took a while to be completed. That's why I figured it would be better to wait and now we'll see each other on the pitch soon.
