Smile please! – The Werkself at the 2020 Media Day
Interviews, dribbling for the camera, social media duties: The Werkself players again went through different tasks at this year's DFL Media Day on Tuesday.
With tropical temperatures around 30 degrees, Charles Aránguiz and Co. this afternoon lined up for the team photo ahead of the start of the 2020/21 Bundesliga season. As usual, the Werkself were photographed with the North Stand at their backs. That was followed by individual photos inside the stadium before the players split up to go to different areas around the changing rooms and in the VIP boxes at the BayArena.
While head coach Peter Bosz gave interviews in the press conference room, Lukas Hradecky had a go at a mini goal wall on the pitch for the DFL cameras. New signing Patrik Schick and some of his teammates provided entertaining social media content that will be made available to fans on the Bayer 04 platforms.

World Cup finalist from Maradona’s neighbourhood: Profile of new signing Facundo Medina
Villa Fiorito, River Plate, Ligue 1, the World Cup final and now Bayer 04: Facundo Medina’s life story so far has been shaped by special places, clubs, matches and names. One of them is Diego Maradona, who, like Medina, hailed from the south of Buenos Aires. Another is Exequiel Palacios, his former team-mate at River Plate, who was raving about Bayer 04 to him as recently as the World Cup in North America. Medina has now taken the plunge into the Bundesliga and, as an Argentine World Cup runner-up, has joined Bayer 04 from Olympique de Marseille this week. It is set to be the next successful chapter in his career. Leverkusen’s new number 2 brings with him a South American mentality and passion, a wealth of experience from many years in Ligue 1, and a fascinating story to the Rhineland – and to a club where the 1.84-metre-tall left-footed player will be reunited with Palacios and several other familiar faces.
