Leverkusen has lost four of their main assets in the passing summer term. Wirtz, Jaka, Jonathan Tah and Jeremie Frimpong were all important to the club's success recently, but they have all left the EU, with three transferred to the Premier League and one that has joined rivals Bayern Munich.
While Schick believes Wirtz may have been the best player on the team, he says it is Jaka's leadership and experience that will be missing the most.
Some important players have left: Jeremie, Florian, Jonathan and now Graniti. So, the most important players are gone, and that hurts, of course. Hopefully we can bring in some other good players. Because we're not in a position to fight for the title now”.
For me as an assailant, Florian Wirtz was the most important player. He could pass me the ball and create a lot of opportunities for me. That is the extreme error. We can't replace Florian Wirtzin”.
But Granit Jaka was the most important player for the entire team, and now he's gone too. He was a leader. He was the most experienced player”.
And just too important for the entire team. Many things worked well with him. I think this is the biggest loss”.
“Now the new players and the remaining ones should show character and give more of themselves, because now it's time for other players”, Schick has said. /Periscope/
