Schick is excited, but Slavia’s footballers are maybe even more so.
“I have the same motivation, whether I play against Slavia or any other opponent. I want to score goals for Leverkusen. Even against Slavia, because we want to win the group, “assured the forward of the Czech national team in the German service Schick.
“Of course we talked about Patrik with our defenders and dealt with his presence in the Leverkusen team. Just because he is a different type of attacker than Alario, who played against us in Prague and will not retaliate because he is injured, “the Slavic coach Jindřich Trpišovský did not deny that he is preparing and will be preparing his charges for a confrontation with Schick.

“We are preparing the same for every opponent, but the start of Schick in the Leverkusen jersey is an extra bonus for us,” Ondřej Lingr agreed, aware of the danger Schick could pose to the Slavic defense.
After being injured and returning to the field, he has played twice in ninety minutes and scores again. The last time was on Sunday in Gelsenkirchen to the Schalke network, before that in the European Beer League Sheva.
“He has great potential, but he soon got injured when he came to us, so he has to get used to the team and the team with him again. It will be important for him to stay healthy, because only then will we see the real Patrik Schick, “reminded Dutch coach of Leverkusen Peter Bosz that he does not want to rush the return of the Czech legionary. Especially in the carousel of matches now in the fall, when one match follows another.

“I really need some more time to get to know the team and teammates more and get to know them. The beginning was good, but after the injury I got together for a month and a half, which was of course not pleasant. Now it’s better from match to match, because I’m finally playing, “Schick acknowledged the duels behind him. Of course, goals scored as well.
“It’s my job. I will also go to Thursday’s match with the intention of scoring a goal. Also because it will be a specific match for me, because I have been a Spartan since I was a child, so I have a rivalry in me, “he said significantly even before the duel with Slavia, in which he will of course appear in the basic line-up of Leverkusen.
The roles were exchanged. At first Schick was a marine, now he was replaced by Argentine Lucas Alario.

“I feel good, but I don’t know how much I will play against Slavia. The more minutes, the better, ”Schick is aware, it depends on the coach how long he will leave him on the lawn on Thursday.
He did not talk to coach Peter Bosz about Slavia, which was the only one to beat Leverkusen in the autumn.

“We have played with Slavia before, of course she has all the information about her. I only saw her in our encounter, but it was a little distorted by playing for an hour at ten. I know what is written about her, but I don’t watch her on TV, so I can hardly say anything about her play, “Schick did not want to comment on the autumn performances and the campaign of the Czech champion.
