Squad28 Apr 2036

Ayyoub Bouaddi in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Bayer Leverkusen this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match26 Apr 2036

Bayer Leverkusen come up short against Borussia Dortmund

Borussia Dortmund left with the points after a 0‑1 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Bayer Leverkusen count the cost of losing Marcel Ludwig

24 days, the scan says, and scans are kinder than reality. The fixtures in that window have just become somebody else’s job.

Squad28 Apr 2036

Words at Bayer Leverkusen training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Malick Fofana is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Iván Figueroa gets picked when it counts

Every manager keeps a short list in his head of the men he wants on the pitch when the stakes rise, and it is never published. The team sheets for the big afternoons say Iván Figueroa is on it.

The dugout28 Apr 2036

Jan Schmidt: “No excuses”

“I could talk about decisions and I could talk about luck. I will not. We lost.” The manager, 0‑1, and a press conference that lasted four minutes.

The Iván Figueroa talk will not go away

Another week, another link, another denial nobody quite believes. Bayer Leverkusen know the market decides these things, not the back pages — but the back pages are louder.

George Ilenikhena beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 14. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Tjark Ernst gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Squad31 Mar 2036

A knee injury of the worst kind for Felix Vogel

38 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Bayer Leverkusen lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Squad31 Mar 2036

A row about effort at Bayer Leverkusen

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Iván Figueroa was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Squad31 Mar 2036

Words exchanged at Bayer Leverkusen

Javier Vargas and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Squad31 Mar 2036

Bayer Leverkusen lose Marcel Ludwig

52 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.

Iván Figueroa gets picked when it counts

Every manager keeps a short list in his head of the men he wants on the pitch when the stakes rise, and it is never published. The team sheets for the big afternoons say Iván Figueroa is on it.

Loan watch31 Mar 2036

The goals keep arriving from Shaqueel van Persie’s exile

10 goals in 28 games at Eintracht Braunschweig — numbers that travel home faster than he does. Somebody at Bayer Leverkusen updates a spreadsheet every Monday, and it makes better reading each week.

The Iván Figueroa talk will not go away

Another week, another link, another denial nobody quite believes. Bayer Leverkusen know the market decides these things, not the back pages — but the back pages are louder.

Loan watch31 Mar 2036

Nikolas Sattlberger keeps scoring at WSG Tirol

24 appearances away from home and 8 goals to show for them. Every one of them makes next summer's conversation a little more expensive.

The dugout31 Mar 2036

Hugo Larsson knocks on the manager’s door

“Thirty minutes, door closed, everything said. We shook hands after.” Whatever was in the room stayed in the room, and Hugo Larsson trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.
