Bayer Leverkusen coach Robin Dutt eagerly awaiting Saturday’s derby game against FC Koln
Bayer Leverkusen manager Robin Dutt is eagerly waiting for Saturday’s derby clash as the Werkself host FC Koln. The two sides will lock heads on September 17 at BayArena, with Dutt eyeing a win over their struggling opponents.
FC Koln are currently reeling at the 15th spot on the league table with four points from five games and will certainly have their backs against the walls on Saturday.
Dutt believes that his side has all the potential to beat the best in the business despite losing to Chelsea in the opening group game of the UEFA Champions League. The two Group E teams met on Tuesday at Stamford Bridge, where Leverkusen were beaten by
a 2-0 margin.
The manager reckons that his side were impressive against the Blues but it was always going to be a tough challenge for his boys. He added that his team will put their act together and beat the visitors. Dutt mentioned that his managerial abilities, especially
in games likes these, can’t be questioned and Koln will have a mountain to climb.
While talking to the reporters, the former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/SC-Freiburg-c40462 tactician enthused, "We won all four derbies against Stuttgart and Hoffenheim. I am a typical derby coach. I love games like this when the emotions in the club are cooking. I have an Indian father, a
mother from southern Bavaria and I grew up in Swabia. I have hardly been to Cologne in 45 and a half years and I know what I owe the fans as the new Leverkusen coach."
Dutt took charge of the Werkself in 2011 and is looking forward to present a title challenge to the likes of Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund and Werder Bremen. The manager is also confident of making it to the next round of the Champions League despite
being beaten in their opening game by Chelsea.
The tactician also aims to go in with the same line-up that faced http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Michael-Ballack-c25270, who is expected to be rested for this encounter.
