Leverkusen did not start well in Leipzig, losing in the thirty-fifth minute. Before halftime, however, he managed a big turn that he was on Patrik Schick has a large share.
His moment came in the 44th minute, just four minutes after the Terriers equalised. Nathan Tella also did a great job, sending an accurate pass towards the Czech representative. The soon-to-be 30-year-old footballer took over in an exemplary manner, but he still had a defender in front of him.
What now? others would say. But Schick he didn’t think, the ball got stuck and the advancing player just rode in front of him like children on a sled in winter. Then the native of Prague had a free way to finish, which he executed brilliantly under the crossbar.
Editing of the match Leipzig – Leverkusen:
“My first thought was to immediately shoot with my left foot, but then I wouldn’t have such a good angle. So I had to do it differently, pass the ball to the right and I have to say that I did it well with my right foot,” described Schick after the match.
In the ongoing season of the Bundesliga, he scored the sixth goal, but lovers of football numbers, for example the one who came all the way from South America, who was also interested in Schick’s action and who follows the events in the TOP European leagues and precisely on that continent, have reached even further in numbers. Since the beginning of last year, Schick has already scored the twenty-seventh league goal. Only one player is better in this aspect, phenomenal Harry Kane from Bayern Munich scored forty-four of them.
He played a thousand minutes less
Even the English superstar, however, does not have any goals against Schick in the column, which were scored in a way other than from the penalty spot. Indeed, Harry Kane gave five more of those (29 compared to Schick’s 24), but the Spartan pupil played more than a thousand minutes, i.e. over 11 matches, less in the monitored period.
Patrik Schick scored one more record. And not just any other. He rewrote the club’s historical standings. As the German Kicker pointed out, the Czech player scored his eightieth league goal in the Leverkusen jersey, thus surpassing the legendary Bulgarian gunner Dimitar Berbatov and becoming the best foreign scorer in Bayer’s history.
Schick’s composure is also remarkable. Kicker in the statistics that Schick after forty goals in the first and second half and out of a total of eighty scored forty-two of them at home and thirty-eight on opponent’s pitches.
“If Franz Beckenbauermay he rest in peace, saw Patrik Schick’s goal, which gave Leverkusen a 2:1 lead in a 3:1 victory in Leipzig, he probably would have uttered one of his greatest classic phrases – He can do it with his left and right foot,” writes local journalist Stephan von Nocks in memory of the famous German international, who died last January.
It’s no wonder that fans from all kinds of famous addresses want Schick’s services. For example from Barcelona. “He would be a good attacking option for the next three seasons,” he thinks.
Who knows, maybe the management of the Catalan club will think the same and Schick will see another big transfer.
