Bayer Leverkusen won both the Bundesliga and the German Cup last season.
The only little minus came in the European League Final, where the team’s long loss-free tube was broken when Atalantan Ademola Lookman Run a hat trick in the Bergamo 3-0 victory.
Leverkusen’s second goalkeeper played in that Dublin finals Matěj kovář.
This season Leverkusen’s praised head coach Xabi Alonso However, he has increasingly trusted Kovář, 24, whose playing time has increased.
In the process Lukas Hradecky35, has been sitting more on the exchange bench. The Turku mill has been invited to the wedding when Kovář’s mistakes have been retaliated in ugly losses.
At the same time, uncertainty has also creeped into Hradecky’s grip.
– You have to be careful about this question because I don’t know Alonso’s reasons why she has done so. I just answer that it is important for many players to feel that the head coach trusts him, the head coach of the Huhkaja Jacob Friis says.
– That means playing regularly. This is not just about goalkeepers.

Friis previously worked for the Bundesliga club in Augsburg. So he followed Alonso’s extracts very close.
– Hopefully Alonso has explored the basics of Hradecky why he always drops out of the team. Of course, it can affect the player.
– Alonso is a good coach, but he is just a person.
In the A-team, nothing is threatened by Hradecky’s position yet. Sure, Finland also has a promising 23-year-old goalkeeper Viljami Sinisalowhich may rise between the posts in this World Cup qualifying right now.
– I have a plan, but I don’t want to talk about it in public. When talking about young people, it is also important to think about when to be ready for the A national team.
Friis said on Wednesday that a new goalkeeper coach is being recruited. The name is not yet public, so the task of Malta and Lithuania matches Ville Wallén.
– Of course, when that team’s skillful goalkeeper coach, I also have to listen to him. Otherwise, he makes no sense to come here.
– Of course, he has the opportunity to influence my views.
