Leverkusen (dpa) - Rudi Völler has pointed out the great importance of a Europa League qualification for Bayer Leverkusen.

«A lot depends on that.

If we fail to do that, there is no guarantee that we will all keep our players.

In addition, we may not be able to get the players we need to improve: We want to get experienced professionals who give us more stability, ”said the 60-year-old sports director of“ Sport Bild ”(Wednesday).

Völler also confirmed that he will be giving up his current position in 2022.

“I discussed the subject with my wife Sabrina at Christmas.

Since then, it has been clear: 2022 will be over for me.

At least in this form, ”said the 1990 world champion, who came to Leverkusen as a player in 1994.

He is not satisfied with his time.

"I'm self-critical enough to say that it wasn't enough for Bayer Leverkusen to have only reached and lost the DFB Cup final twice: 2009 against Werder, 2020 against Bayern."

The club was eliminated too often against teams "against whom this shouldn't happen," said Völler.
