Bayer Leverkusen is a famous sports club internationally. Henkel and Drexler, two high jump superstars, were trained by Bayer Leverkusen. In addition, the "Prodigal Son" Breed Schuster and the "Desperate Saburo" Rudy Worrell, who are familiar to Chinese fans, also played for the club.
Bayer Leverkusen Sports Club was founded on June 15, 1904. It is a comprehensive sports organization. Among them, the most outstanding performance is track and field, followed by handball and basketball. Football, the world's most popular sport, can only rank fourth here. But Leverkusen is also a top team in German football, although football is not very prominent in the club. But this did not affect the Bayer Leverkusen team's dominance in Europe and strive to win the 1988 UEFA Cup. This is also the third German team to win the UEFA Cup after Monchengladbach and Eintracht Frankfurt.
Leverkusen is strategically located just across the water from Cologne, a large city in Germany, so the club attracts many amateur and professional athletes. Most of Germany's top track and field, basketball, and handball players have played for the club. Of course, what makes Leverkusen people most proud is that they have trained two world sports superstars in Henkel and Drexler. However, the development of Leverkusen football is also relatively rapid. Although the Leverkusen team has developed relatively quickly, its results are unstable because football is not taken seriously. The 1988 UEFA Cup and the 1993 German Cup championship are two examples. So Leverkusen is unknown more often than not.
The founders of Bayer Leverkusen and Bayern Munich are brothers. The brothers produced identical uniforms for both clubs, with the word "Bayer" clearly marked in the team crest. The two brothers are so good, it is enviable.
In the 1993-1994 season, Bayern Munich started a beat slower and had to fight hard to catch up with Werder Bremen. At the critical moment of sprinting to the line, Bayern Munich lost to Leverkusen

The exchange of 2 points enabled Beckenbauer and enabled Bayern Munich to win the league title for the 13th time. That season, Leverkusen also performed quite well, ranking third in the league. This is the team's best result in the league in 15 years. The two brother teams have performed well in the Bundesliga, which is also a good story in football history.
In the 1994-1995 season, they were competing in the UEFA Cup. German teams lost to the three major European Cups. Leverkusen took up the banner of German football and fought for the honor of the motherland. At that time, the main lineup of the Leverkusen team included the famous Romanian Lupescu, as well as famous players such as Schuster, Woller Kirsten, Thom, and Warnes. The lineup was extremely strong. In the first round, Leverkusen The Kusen team beat the Hungarian Liki?pa?t team 7-0, and in the second round they swept the Polish Katowice swimming team 8-1, taking the lead in entering the quarterfinals. Their unstoppable attack power and high fighting spirit have frightened all the princes, and many people predicted that they would win the championship.
Just when the fans were happily expecting Leverkusen to reproduce the glory of winning the championship in 1988, the team was in trouble. Head coach Stepanovic and midfielder Schuster were at loggerheads. . This greatly affected the overall strength of the Lekusen team. In the semifinals, due to low morale, Wo was defeated by the Italian Parma team 1:5. The German club team's attempt to compete in the three major cup competitions was once again completely wiped out. This is a historic regret for the Leverkusen team.
As the relationship between head coaches Stepanovic and Schuster became worse and worse, in order to resolve the dispute, the club directly fired the head coach and invited the former Bayern Munich coach. Riback takes charge.
Riback is a veteran coach in German football. His coaching career has been 30 years. Beckenbauer was an assistant coach when he coached the national team. He is good at arranging troops and deploying troops. . But Liebeck is not a good person at coordinating all aspects of relations. When he was coaching Bayern Munich, he voluntarily resigned due to his inability to resolve the conflict between Matth?us and club president Hoeness. Therefore, it is really difficult for Riback to solve the complicated conflicts of the Leverkusen team.
When the power of a team shifts to its core players, and when a team doubts the ability of its substitutes, the team will inevitably collapse no matter how brilliant it once was. This is proven by countless facts. Fortunately, Leverkusen's senior leaders have clearly realized this and have begun to improve the club's management system. Kirsten, Lupescu, and Paul Sergio are all unstoppable, as are Warnes, Feldhoff, Ramon Huebner, Daniel Addo, and Helbig. Gushing out, overall, the Leverkusen team is quite strong. Every player is gearing up to meet the challenges of the future on the green field.
