Bayer 04 Leverkusen

In the 2008/09 season, Leverkusen lost to Werder Bremen in the German Cup and only finished second, missing the European competition again. In the 2009-10 season, Leverkusen remained undefeated at the half-way point and won the half-way championship. It is expected to win the championship with an undefeated record. The predecessor of Leverkusen Football Club is the gymnastics club of Bayer, a famous German dye company. The club was founded in 1904 and 1913. The club's football team became independent and formed Leverkusen 04 Football Club. This newly formed football team is at the level of a corporate team at best. When the German Football Association implemented the professional football system in 1963, Bayer Leverkusen could only be regarded as a mid-level team in the third division. It was promoted to the second division team in 1975 and jumped to the first division team four years later. Although it has never been relegated, it has never achieved an impressive record. Although the national team's star Voller appeared in the team, Leverkusen only ranked 14th in the total standings of 18 first-division teams. In order to make the Leverkusen team make substantial progress, in 1995, Voller, who had retired and served as the sports department manager, earnestly persuaded the former Stuttgart team coach Daum to return to China from Turkey to coach and rebuild the broken mountains and rivers of the Leverkusen team. After taking over, Daum emphasized the main force's full-attack and full-defense style of play and strictly managed the army, giving Leverkusen a completely new look. In the two seasons from 1996 to 1998, he achieved runner-up and third-place results, and forward Kirsten also won the title of top scorer twice.
