Bayer 04 Leverkusen

I really, really hope that it is.

Iceberg says, have you heard of anything about Ibrahim Matza, the kid from Leverkusen? Well, he played against Arsenal.

He looked quite threatening, but I haven't seen loads of him.

So I can't really comment, to be honest.

Yeah, again, for Florian Wurz, he's always going to come with a price tag and everybody will judge him off the back of the price tag.

We've seen the levels that he got to buy a Leverkusen.

The Premier League's different.

It takes time to settle.

Bayern are so clear in Europe, in the league.

And, you know, as a team who, you know, we got Youngmin Sun from Bayer Leverkusen.

He hit the heavy heights.

You know, you had Kevin De Bruyne come from Wolfsburg.

in this season Florian Wurz at Liverpool when you see him operating for Liverpool at the moment and you know I think it's safe to say for the fee that he went for hasn't been a success as of yet what is that down to then you think it is just poor kind of research on this point directors parlor what is that element that's

So I think, yeah, part of it to give him, you know, some leeway, I think Liverpool...

He looked amazing at Leverkusen.

He looked great at Leverkusen.

I remember he did this when he was at Bayern Munich.

He literally had us play Bayern Leverkusen, who were the best team in the league at the time.

And he had us absolutely kick Kai Havertz so many times that he had to go off injured within the first half or so.

And Kai Havertz was their best player at the time.

Geraldo's a winner, right? He just won the World Cup.

He won a Bundesliga title with Leverkusen without playing for Bayern.

You know, what does Jonathan David know about years of struggle in Cornea or at the Ciutat? You know, what do these guys know about it? What does Kangen know about it? Kangen didn't even have a great day today.

Kangen worked hard.

By demonstrating this collective work at the back and in midfield, those who play in those attacking positions are able to show their quality.

I like Grimaldo's commitment to playing for Atletico.

We wanted the player that he was in Leverkusen.

He has a style, an attacking style that allows us to break lines.

Yeah.

Because I watched a lot of his games at Bayer Leverkusen.

The Bundesliga doesn't tell you the truth, tell how good these players are.

There's a reason Harry Kane's scoring 70 goals.

Arteta created a completely different atmosphere within us.

Alonso done it at Leverkusen.

They just seem to bring players together, get them onto their ideas of what it is they want to do, and they seem to play good football.

I mean, if I was a Liverpool fan, would I be happy with where we are at this point in the season, not considering the kind of last couple of seasons to compare and against? I'd say, no, we should be doing a little bit better.

Yeah.

But let's go to Matt Ford, who was at Leverkusen Stuttgart.

That game ended 2-4.

He got to watch six goals today, so it seemed like a real cracker of a match.

And here is what Matt had to say from the Bayer Arena in Leverkusen.

Hi,

everyone.

Matt in Leverkusen here.

Sporting kept something like 20%.

And then he was sold to Bayer Leverkusen for like $40-something million.

That meant that Sporting was getting like $5 or $6 million, which still hasn't been paid to Sporting.

But supposedly if Paulo Fonseca leaves and decides to go to Sporting, some of that could be forgiven.
