Bayer Leverkusen midfielder Hanno Balitsch has praised teammate Bern Leno for his great performance against Werder Bremen last weekend. The goalkeeper made his debut for Leverkusen in the 1-0 win and was impressive throughout the
90 minutes.
The shot stopper joined Werkself from http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/VfB-Stuttgart-c40879 in this summer’s transfer window on a season long loan after club first choice Rene Adler was ruled out with a knee injury. Adler underwent a surgery and will not be back until
mid September.

and showed no signs of panic in his first match.

“Bernd Leno was completely unfazed, just as he was during training all week. He wasn't afraid of getting stuck in, was verbal enough and very confident. He's very dependable and he brought calm to the side. A clean sheet was an
ideal start for a young lad like him,” he was quoted as saying in an interview.
Meanwhile, winger Andre Schurrle has set his sights in the next fixture against Stuttgart. He claimed that the side wants to win against Die Roten to keep the winning momentum going. The player also admitted that the team is trying
hard in training to reach full fitness and is confident of a great match ahead.
