Former scout manager of the drug factory: Signing Wilz is something that doesn t need to be thoughtful about. Dibrin is too expensive for Bundesliga teams

Tim Steyden, former head of scouting department and sports coordinator of Leverkusen, recently accepted an interview with Germany Sky Sports, in which he talked about the tug-of-war between Wilz, Dibring and Bayern's desire to introduce Waltermad.

- For the discovery of the Leverkusen Champions Team:

Steeden: "There is always a team behind this discovery - a great scouting department, and a director like Rollfys, who gave me great trust. It's undoubtedly teamwork. It's interesting to me, the key player of this championship team - if we can call it that - is Zachar. When he played this decisive role at Leverkusen, I was actually no longer in the club. In hindsight, he was the one who brought balance to this young, dynamic team. Zachar was the perfect key. So I think it was a long pre-work. It took us three to four years to build this team - and Zachar ended up being that key."

- About Werz:

Steeden: "When it comes to players like Werz, we have to say: some players you have to go deep into, and some players don't. If we didn't go until the Cologne youth training player Werz, it would be a huge mistake. My first conversation with Rollfies was actually about him."

"He asked me at the time: 'Tim, we have a chance to get Werz. What do you think of him?' There is no need to think about this situation. If you have the chance to sign him, you have to do it as a club. Rollfies and I flew to Portugal at that time because the German U16 national team was playing there, and Werz was on the team. But we were actually trying to observe the player myself again. There was nothing to hesitate after that. He was the kind of player you didn't need scout evaluation - you had to sign him as long as you had the chance."

- Regarding Wiltz transfer to Liverpool:

Steeden: "Many people asked me if he could succeed there. For me, it was no doubt. My answer was always clear: There was no doubt. From the perspective of football, there was no need to discuss it at all. But in terms of being a human being, he also had the kind of desperate desire to improve himself. I still remember the first time we talked to him at the office of Rollfys - his parents were there. Simon asked him, 'Where do you want to go? What are you trying to achieve?' Wiltz replied, 'I want to be the best player in the world.' Some players say this, you don't take it seriously, but we immediately believed Wiltz - and he immediately proved his ambitions."

- Structural differences between Leverkusen and West Ham United:

Steeden (January 23-February 25): "It's like the difference between day and night. In Germany, clubs have a clear structure - there are general managers, sports directors, head coaches. In England, many clubs are controlled by the boss. 'Everyone' is not just the people who invest money, but often put a lot of emotions in it. As a manager, you have to be able to deal with this. This is definitely the biggest gain for me. It's the real challenge to make these individuals finally satisfied - rather than just doing things as we do in Germany, with a clear structure."

- About Phil Kruger and his development at West Ham United:

Steeden: "He is in a very good shape. I contacted him a few days ago - he is in his best condition from his physical condition. I fully believe he can play a 100% role in the Premier League. […] At that time, we finally negotiated a transfer fee of 22 million euros with Dortmund, and I would do this deal at any time. Dortmund said he was too expensive - but he seemed too cheap in my opinion. He is not only the type of player I look for on the court, but he is also the kind of person who can drive the entire team off the court. If it were my own money, I would even be willing to pay more."

- England's top star Dibring:

Steeden: "He's a great player - with that kind of street football mentality, that kind of special vitality. He's the kind of player who can suddenly stop, turn, and speed up. His first touch is excellent. He has great potential. I think he will end up being too expensive for German clubs - so I think he'll complete the transfer in England."

- About the coach of the year, new player, manager of the year:

Steeden: "The manager of the year in my mind is undoubtedly Crosher - not only because of the past year, but also because of his continuous work in the past few years. His performance in Frankfurt, especially in transfers, is very impressive."

"As for new players, I chose Noosa, because I want to bring him to West Ham to be honest. He has been injured for a long time, but as long as he is healthy, he has great potential and is an excellent player. The best transfer for the season is of course Walter Mad joining Stuttgart."

- Bayern wants to sign Waltermad’s game:

"My feeling is that he will transfer. If a player expresses his position so clearly and publicly states that he wants to go to Bayern Munich, it is difficult for a club like Stuttgart to stop this desire. So I think the transfer will be completed."

"Overall, I think it can be spent a little more for a young German player than for a player from abroad - especially for Bayern. As for whether he is really worth 80 million euros, I can't and don't want to judge. But I believe that if you have the opportunity to get such a player as a club, you have to do it."
