The Bundesliga is about to kick off, with defending champions Bayer Leverkusen facing Borussia Mönchengladbach in the opening game. However, Leverkusen manager Xabi Alonso is facing a happy problem, as both his starting goalkeepers have been in excellent form, making it difficult to decide who will start the season.
Current No. 1 Hradecky, a veteran, participated in the pre-season games against Stuttgart and Real Betis, and performed well. As the team’s starting goalkeeper last season, Hradecky is still one of the best choices. However, young goalkeeper Kovar is also in excellent form.
In an interview, Hradecky said, “The situation is completely different for me now. I was informed two days before the game that I would be starting, but I was very happy to be able to play. Regardless, the final decision is in Alonso’s hands.”
Alonso himself said, “We have two No. 1 goalkeepers now. Hradecky was fantastic in the Supercup.”
