Leverkusen - Bayer prevails harmonious tranquility. The 2:0-win against Bochum has added the sports leadership in a good mood. With a clear victory Thursday in the UEFA Cup against Uniao Leiria (17.15 clock), the ambitious club would continue on course for success.
Express spoke with Leverkusen's manager Wolfgang wooden houses on the philosophy Bayers.
Are you satisfied with the season start? Yes. But there were also two points can be more that we have left are against Cottbus.
Still, one has the impression that something grows slowly at Bayer. Luke Sinkewicz has said that he feels that he is a club which has its own plan.
Have you got one? Yes. We rely on young players who have not completed their development and have a huge potential.
Who sets the concept? The club leadership.
Not the coach? No. I say this explicitly: "We are very pleased with Michael Skibbe. He is our philosophy to very good. That is why we have committed him. However, a coach will always be measured by success.
You think you can replace the coach, without losing his philosophy? Yes. Jorge Valdano (1986 World Champion with Argentina and former manager of Real Madrid, the editorial office) has said that a coach is always conservative, because he always has to think in the short-term success.
And that is with Bayer different? Even our coach is under pressure to succeed. From him, as is also the team that ultimately required performance. But we do not lose the control it once it's not running for a while. We have a long term plan which we will comply.
You set the line, the coach must respect them? Exactly. We have been thinking and what is our idea. Then we got the coach, Michael Skibbe, who will implement this idea.
Then you would have to be so surprised that apparently in Wolfsburg coach Felix Magath has the sole charge? I think it is an experiment, but basically do not express myself to the philosophy of other clubs.
