Brilliant U14 performance in Holland
The Bayer 04 U14 team beat Chelsea and Ajax on the way to winning a top international tournament in 's-Gravenzande .
The trip to the tournament in the Dutch venue of 's-Gravenzande proved to be really worth it for the younger youth team. "Passion and fun in playing were absolutely top," declared coach Mirko Casper when the team picked up the winners' trophy after earning a deserved 2-0 victory in the final against Borussia Mönchengladbach.
The Werkself lads showed their true value in the previous rounds. With six wins, including against FC Bruges (4-0), VfL Wolfsburg (2-0) and Chelsea (1-0) plus a draw, Leverkusen qualified as group winners for the semi-final.
The Werkself close fought game against Ajax came down to a penalty shootout where the U14s held their nerve to win 4-3. They didn't need that in the final. Bayer 04 earned a deserved 2-0 victory against Gladbach.
