According to Kicker, Eren Dinkçi, who returned to Werder Bremen on a loan deal this summer, discussed his homecoming, the family pressures stemming from his wife's leukemia diagnosis, and his growth over the past three years. He stated that returning to Bremen was a joint decision with his wife, and he is no longer as withdrawn as he once was.

It has been 31 days since Dinkçi officially returned to Bremen, but he said: "It still feels like I'm on an international break." Dinkçi, who was born in Bremen, explained that although he left the club three years ago, he would often return here on weekends without matches, and now he has truly come home.

The 24-year-old Dinkçi is currently on loan from Eintracht Frankfurt to Bremen for the entire season. When asked whether he would be willing to stay long-term in the future, he said: "If I can stay, I have no objection. Why wouldn't I? This is my home, and I feel most comfortable here. But of course, I know I still have a contract with Frankfurt, and leaving there is not straightforward."

Beyond the distant future, Dinkçi's return this time is more about addressing his current situation, including his family circumstances. Dinkçi's wife is currently undergoing treatment for leukemia.

He stated: "This was a joint decision for both of us. Many people interpreted my transfer as entirely for her sake, but that's not the case."

However, his wife's desire to be close to family and friends was a significant factor in his return. Dinkçi said: "Of course, she wanted to be with family and friends too. The pressure we carried together in the past can now be shared with others, which is our goal, and it's working well."

His wife's treatment can also continue in Bremen. Dinkçi stated: "Most importantly, there is a hospital here that can continue researching and treating my wife."

Facing such family circumstances, Dinkçi acknowledged: "This is a difficult situation, and I don't need to hide that." However, with his family able to help share the burden, he has been able to refocus more on football.

But he admitted that he cannot always maintain complete focus on the game: "Sometimes my attention certainly wanders, and I don't think anyone should blame me for that. But the moment the ball starts rolling, I forget everything." However, when training stops, many things return to his mind.

Regarding his return to Bremen, Dinkçi said he always felt there was "unfinished business here." "If I were to transfer, I wanted to come back to Werder Bremen from the start. The whole process was genuinely a difficult struggle."

During this time, other clubs also invited Dinkçi, but he rejected them all and waited for Bremen to finally approve the deal. He said: "Apparently my patience paid off."

In the three years since leaving Bremen, Dinkçi played for Heidenheim and Eintracht Frankfurt. He believes he has changed significantly both as a footballer and as a person.

Dinkçi stated: "Previously, my playing style was quite simple, but now I think I have a good understanding of football. I was coached by Frank Schmidt."

Regarding his personality, he said: "I spent a year alone at Heidenheim, which forced me out of my comfort zone and helped me understand myself better. I'm no longer the withdrawn Eren Dinkçi I used to be."

Now, Dinkçi and fellow returning player Niklas Füllkrug are expected to help restore a sense of ownership to the team. Dinkçi said: "I think we two can really bring that feeling of identity back to the club."

Finally, Dinkçi emphasized his commitment to wearing the Bremen shirt again: "For this crest on my chest, I will definitely give more than 100%."
