30 minutes ahead of kick-off at tomorrow’s Bundesliga away game at Schalke 04, fans can again get in the mood for the game. From 17.30 CET, Bayer 04 will again broadcast the ‘Spieltag – Die Show’ live on YouTube. The interview guest at the Schwadbud this time: Markus Happe. After nine years with Bayer 04 (1991 to 2000) the central defender moved on to the Werkself’s opponents from Gelsenkirchen. The man from Münster played for the Royal Blues for two and a half years before returning to Leverkusen via FC Köln and Kickers Offenbach where he ended his playing career with the Bayer 04 Reserves in the summer of 2010.
As a virtual interviewee, we welcome back Hans Sarpei, who played for Schalke and the Black and Reds. Just before kick-off, Dirk Maverick will sing the club anthem from home. Werkself Radio will then start with the match broadcast. It’s worth tuning in.
