Pre-match press conference with Newcastle United striker Nick Woltemade ahead of their Champions League trip to face Bayer Leverkusen at the BayArena. Newcastle travel to Germany for a crucial league phase match that could boost their hopes of reaching the knockout stage of the competition.
Woltemade talks about returning to Germany for his first club game there since joining Newcastle, feeling at home on Tyneside while still enjoying coming back to his home country, and the challenge of facing a Leverkusen side who recently won away at Manchester City. He explains how his physical work and mentality have improved under Eddie Howe, why he always feels he can score even if he has not touched the ball for a while, and how he shuts out noise around his transfer fee and comments from Germany by focusing only on himself.
Woltemade reflects on Leverkusen’s quality and style of play, being compared to Peter Crouch, his ambition to be an entertainer on the pitch, and the excitement of Germany’s World Cup group with Curaçao, Ivory Coast and Ecuador. He also looks forward to linking up with Johan Wissa now the forward is back from injury and to experiencing his first Tyne Wear derby against Sunderland after this Champions League night.
