00:00 I think the coach has a big part in it.

00:04 I think when he came to Leverkusen, he had some difficulties, which is normal.

00:10 You have to say again and again, you have to give the coaches a certain amount of time.

00:15 And that's how it came to Leverkusen.

00:20 I think the philosophy, how he imagines football,

00:23 actually brought the team over perfectly.

00:27 The boys are doing it.

00:30 And I think he's a good guy, who also has certain things in mind,

00:34 which he still demands of his players,

00:36 whether on the pitch or off the pitch.

00:40 I've heard a few voices, or I've heard them again and again in the past,

00:45 that he's really a real worker,

00:48 also very flexible.

00:51 I think, as I said, the overall package fits easily.

00:56 The season-long that they play there is phenomenal.

01:00 To put on a series like that is really sensational.

01:04 And it also looks like they're going to pull through to the end.

01:09 As I said, it's actually just a little hang-up.

01:14 Every team has a long season like that.

01:16 But Leverkusen are phenomenal in all competitions.

01:21 They're still represented everywhere, they can still win everything.

01:25 Das sieht richtig gut aus, ja.
