"We have got to know EVL as a very reliable partner who takes account of the economic and the environmental sides of the business," said Felix Duden, CEO of TecArena Plus GmbH, the wholly-owned subsidiary of Bayer 04 Fußball GmbH responsible for looking after the technical issues at the Werkself.
Security of supply is particularly important for Bayer 04: "Therefore, we will continue to place the maintenance of our energy systems in the safe hands of EVL, who have always provided us with a reliable energy supply in the past," added Duden. No electricity means no floodlights and no district heating means no undersoil heating. "At the same time, we help Bayer 04 provide energy at the Arena more efficiently and in a more environmentally-friendly manner," said Rolf Menzel, commercial director at EVL. The setting up and certification of the environmental management system in accordance with ISO 50001 standard at Bayer 04 involved support and advice from EVL.
Bayer 04 and Energieversorgung Leverkusen go well together according to Rolf Menzel: "It's hard to imagine the city without the club or without EVL. We both support the area and are committed to Leverkusen." It's not for nothing the club song starts with line 'Zwischen Bayerwerk und Wasserturm' (Between the Bayer works and the Water Tower)," Energieversorgung Leverkusen has supported the club since the early 1980s and is once again a partner in the Sponsors Club this season.

Bayer 04 put in a brilliant performance to beat RB Leipzig 4-1 on Bundesliga matchday 32 and are now fourth in a Champions League spot. The Black and Reds took control of the game right from the start and, with 75 per cent possession at one stage, took a 2-0 lead into the break through Patrik Schick (25’) and Nathan Tella (45+1’). The visitors initially tried to do more after the break, but the Werkself remained determined and Schick scored his second goal to increase the lead to 3-0 (76'). The Red Bulls pulled a goal back through Christoph Baumgartner (80'), but the disciplined Leverkusen side were not rattled - and certainly not Schick: The Czechia international crowned a brilliant display with his third goal shortly before the final whistle to make the final score 4-1.

In the previous game against RB Leipzig in December last year, the Werkself turned came from behind to win 3-1 and further improved Leverkusen's already strong record against the Red Bulls. Montrell Culbreath stood out with his first goal on his debut for the Black and Reds. While the 18-year-old would certainly like to score a second goal against Leipzig on Saturday night, the attack-minded visitors come to the BayArena in confident mood after five Bundesliga victories in a row. The Nordkurve12 supporters group knows the Werkself will therefore once again be reliant on the vociferous support of the fans, and has once again called for the ‘Finally Red’ campaign in the run-in. Today’s matchday news.
