Bayer has missed a place to qualify for the Champions League last season and will be looking to catch up in the new season. The team of Gerardo Seoane started with a confident 3:0 victory over Lokomotiv Leipzig in the German Cup. At the same time, it was not possible to win outright in the Bundesliga. Bayer was the first to concede from Union, but managed to recoup rather quickly. The match ended in a 1:1 draw in Berlin.
Last season Everton showed great promise, but ended up finishing at the equator of the standings. For 38 rounds the “scousers” chalked up 17 wins and eight draws, which brought the 10th final place. In the last rounds the Blues have beaten West Ham (1:0) and Wolverhampton (1:0). The weakest link of the team was the line of attack, which was distinguished 47 times, while guests often forgot about their own goal. In July a new mentor appeared in the team, who was Rafa Benitez. From the newcomers, one cannot fail to note Bayer’s Demaray Gray, for whom they paid two million euros. In the first round the “butterscotch” beat Southampton at home (3:1). Today GBamen, Ken, Rodriguez and Gomes will not be able to enter the field.
