Florian Kohfeldt on the match: “Bayer have a very young team and with that comes inconsistency in their form,” recognised Kohfeldt, adding, “We’re talking here about inconsistencies on a very high level. Leverkusen are fighting for a Champions League place. They demonstrate a clear way of playing; they want to be offensive and decisive. They also have professionalls like Kevin Volland, Julian Brandt and Kai Havertz in their ranks. They can be extremely versatile,” explained Kohfeldt. Leverkusen’s recent dip in form means that they will need to win in Bremen to have a chance of qualifying in the top four; “We want to and will prevent them from doing that,” affirmed the Green-Whites coach.
One last time: 196 games, 22 goals, 54 assists. Zlatko Junuzovic only has 90 minutes left to play in the Weserstadion. After six and a half years at Werder the 30-year-old Austrian will be leaving the club in summer. “He should get the send-off he deserves. He should leave the Weserstadion for the last time as a winner,” hopes head coach Kohfeldt. This season, our number 16 has scored twice and picked up five assists in front of a home crowd. Zladdi would no doubt be pleased to put on a show one last time for the Werder fans and let them sing his name for the final time.
