After a 4-0 win over FC St. Pauli, Bayer Leverkusen coach Kasper Hjulmand fielded the exact same starting XI for Wednesday’s 2-0 Champions League victory over Olympiacos.
Speaking after the game in Greece, the Danish coach explained at the post-match press conference that the three-day gap between the two matches “offered the possibility to have a bit of continuity from the start.”
However, with three more games scheduled over the next 10 days, rotation will be necessary.
“It can’t go on like this, that’s not possible,” Hjulmand stressed, indicating changes ahead of Saturday’s Bundesliga clash with 1. FC Union Berlin.
“We have a good bench with quality players. We have a large squad and high quality, so it’s possible for us to rotate,” he added.
