The Bundesliga is about to kick off, with reigning champions Bayer Leverkusen set to face Borussia Mönchengladbach away in the opening match. However, Leverkusen’s head coach Alonso is faced with a pleasant dilemma, as both of his main goalkeepers have been performing exceptionally well, making it difficult to decide who will be the starting goalkeeper.
The veteran Hradecky, currently wearing the number 1 jersey, participated in the pre-season matches against Stuttgart and Real Betis, performing admirably. As the first-choice goalkeeper from last season, Hradecky remains one of the top candidates. However, the young goalkeeper Koval has also been in excellent form.
In an interview, Hradecky stated: “The situation now is entirely different for me. In previous matches, I was only notified two days before that I would start. Nevertheless, I’m very satisfied to still be playing. Ultimately, the decision lies with Alonso.”
Alonso himself said: “We currently have two number one goalkeepers. Hradecky performed excellently in the Super Cup.”
