Klaus Toppmoller insists Bayer Leverkusen can reach the quarter-final of the Champions League
Former Bayer Leverkusen manager Klaus Toppmoller has predicted that his team will reach the quarter-final of the UEFA Champions League this season. He stated that the team has immense potential and can go far in the competition.
The former West http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Germany-c2904 international insisted that Werkself are amongst the best teams in the Bundesliga and have been unlucky with results this season.
Bayer Leverkusen are placed in a tough Group-E of the Champions League with the likes of Chelsea, Valencia and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Racing-c40298 Genk and currently sit in second place behind London giants Chelsea with three points from the two games played.
Toppmoller insisted that Leverkusen’s mixed start to the season is only the result of some silly mistakes. He claimed that the team is a great one and has some sensational quality in their ranks, having potential to play against
the best teams in the world. He stated that the current side is one of the best in the German League and is hopeful of a successful season ahead.
“You have lost silly games. But I still believe that Bayer reached the Champions League. From her potential Leverkusen has certainly a very, very good team.
I do believe that that was the turning point. In the Champions League and above all in the league they are from one of the best,” he was quoted as saying in an interview.
The former FC Kaiserslautern striker insisted that the team can go far in Europe’s elite club competition and can certainly qualify for the knock-out stages of the competition. He claimed that http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 will surely win the group
and that Leverkusen will face some tough competition from Valencia for qualification.
“At least they have to survive the group stage and they will too. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Valencia-c40863 is not as strong as in past years. Sure, Chelsea is the absolute top favourite. The departure would be a huge disappointment. I trust them to the quarterfinals,”
the German concluded.
Bayer Leverkusen sit in ninth place on the standings table in the Bundesliga with 13 points from eight games.
