In a recent friendly match, despite representing the new owner to beat Leverkusen with a score of 4-1, German international Havertz still expressed his deep emotion and high recognition to the old owner Leverkusen in the post-match interview. He confessed that even after leaving Leverkusen, he has still been following every game of this team and is heartily happy for their brilliant achievements last season.
Havertz fondly recalls, "I've kept an eye on Leverkusen since I left them. Last season, they showed extraordinary strength and team spirit and ended up with such a great achievement, which is definitely an honor that the whole team deserves." His words were full of appreciation and recognition of Leverkusen's performance last season.
When asked about his opinion of Leverkusen in the new season, Havertz gave a positive assessment: "I think their chances in the new season are as promising as last season. Judging from the performance in the warm-up matches, Leverkusen has maintained a very good game form, and their coordination, players' physical fitness, and the coach's tactical arrangement have all been excellent. This certainly makes them a strong contender for the Bundesliga title next season."
In addition, Havertz expressed his anticipation of meeting Leverkusen in the Champions League: "It would be very exciting to meet them in the Champions League. I'm looking forward to being able to play with my former teammates again and I'm sure it will be a great match."
