The Werkself on YouTube:

Get a cold drink, make yourselves comfortable and click onto our Bayer 04 channel on YouTube. You’ll discover lots of entertaining and, above all, humorous Werkself output. With the ‘I know him’ feature, for example with Lars and Sven Bender, the players are tested on how well they know each other. Using posted texts, the duos of Kevin Volland & Ramazan ‘Rambo’ Özcan and Lukas Hradecky & Joel Pohjanpalo, guess which of their teammates’ Instagram accounts it is. There is also the ‘Black or Red?’ game where a number of Werkself players have difficulty deciding. What’s really tricky is, ‘What’s the question?’ – Jonathan Tah, Kai Havertz and Kerem Demirbay have already been under pressure.

Here’s a little taster of ‘04 wins’ with Nadiem Amiri and Karim Bellarabi – laughter guaranteed!
