Speaking exclusively with Goal, the Leverkusen boss gave his take on the upcoming Champions League clash with Atletico Madrid
EXCLUSIVE
Bayer Leverkusen boss Roger Schmidt has hailed the qualities of striker Javier 'Chicharito' Hernandez ahead of the club's Champions League clash Tuesday, but acknowledges it will take a team effort to down Diego Simeone's Atletico Madrid.
Schmidt knows his Spanish opponents well, having been put out of the European competition by Atleti a mere two seasons ago, and feels the task ahead could be even tougher than it was in the past due to the Liga side's experience – especially in attack.
