high-pitched tones and bold messages do not belong truly to the essence of the football club Bayer Leverkusen, where traditionally, all the rest is very constant on a high level is being worked on. It is therefore surprising that the person responsible for the work clubs to formulate in these days of ever-new superlatives when it comes to Kai Havertz. “For me he is the best in my time in Leverkusen,” said sporting Director Rudi Völler ahead of the quarter-finals in the Europa League against Inter Milan on Monday in Düsseldorf, Germany (21.00 in F. A. Z.-Liveticker for the Europa League, as well as in DAZN, and RTL), the “Gazzetta dello Sport” about the national players and attracted great comparisons: “We had Emerson, Michael Ballack, Zé Roberto and Toni Kroos, but he is at the top. He is a Mix between Ballack and Mesut Özil, and he has your best pages.“

Europa League live Ticker for this

a Few days earlier, the communication Department of the club an entertaining documentary about the now ten Havertz-years at Bayer 04 published, here, too, part of a superlative to the next: the youngest A-national player of Bayer 04, the youngest captain, the first player, the 19-Year-old 17 Bundesliga goals scored, becoming the youngest player with 100 League operations, and so on and so forth.

critics might well ask whether such ravings are still good for a 21 year old guy who is always in the center, if Bayer plays football. But for Leverkusen, it’s not in this August only for the title of the Europa League, the Management of the club is working on the largest business in the history of the club. Havertz want to change the Association. He wants football to be one of the giants of the world, Chelsea should have the greatest interest and also the necessary funds. Real Madrid is considered another Option.

völler’s Exuberance and the need to be understood with anecdotes and beautiful images from the time in the club’s Academy enriched documentary therefore, as the promotional measures. Finally, you would like to have at least 100 million Euro for your precious home-grown talent. The Poker runs. Frank Lampard, the coach and Manager of Chelsea FC, was chosen on Saturday evening, rather vague words, as he was approached, after the defeat at FC Bayern on Havertz: “I would expect nothing. But it is our task to see what happens, and to see how we can strengthen ourselves.“

In the Europa League tournament, it will be for Leverkusen last how Havertz with the unclear Situation and the new speculation comes clear. But Peter Bosz has a good feeling about the mental state of his Stars: “I talk a lot with Kai and try to feel what makes all of this with him. For example, this daily exchange of rumors. And I realize that Kai is very good with all of this,“ says the coach.
