Leverkusen - "The table does not lie," said club boss Wolfgang Bayer's wooden houses.
And this is the truth table: # 9, 13 bankruptcies, 12 points off a European Cup-place: For over 20 years ago there was hardly a worse season for Bayer 04 as the current one.
Strictly speaking, two (1995/96, 2002/03). And so with a squad, in the 18 (!) Are current or ex-national players. "Position 9 is significant enough for our needs," wooden houses, it became clear even to the final with a 0:3 in Cottbus, so do not fit into the stuff:
"This was a reflection of the season. Since we have lost his head under pressure and discipline. A mental problem. "But no problem coach - as the club boss publicly said that on Sunday, with Bruno Labbadia and sporting director Rudi Voeller put their heads together.
Problem bear Bruno. Tear Werder coach Thomas Schaaf him to ruin? Because Saturday is for the Werkself (and opponents of Bremen) in the cup final at all. To Europe, for money, around the image to the future.
And to Labbadias job? No, says wooden houses still: "There is no criticism of the work of the training team. We also go into next season with Bruno Labbadia as coach. "And promises:" Against Bremen, we will experience a whole other Bayer-Eleven. "
And how that should go on a button? "The coach will think about something," suggests wooden houses on cryptic. He wants to talk today with captain Simon Rolfes Tacheles. But in this conversation Rolfes will hear some positive. The bonus for reaching the Cup final will be paid to the crew: "You get the rebate." And the trophy for profit is loud wooden houses an "extra bonus" suspended. If we take as approximately the last resort?
