Yes, I’d like to see what was shown.
The 20-year-old Werkself player looks back on Leverkusen’s special moments and adds Bayer 04’s impressive start to the UEFA Europa League this season, his serious injury, his comeback and his ambitions with the Werkself in Europe.
At the start of the many hours of filming for the Rise Up video, Florian Wirtz looks out from the most sensible ground at the headquarters of Sparkasse Leverkusen, the city where he went from being a young player to being a German international. Next, we move on to Bayer AG’s Chem Park, where Florian Wirtz demonstrates his talent with the ball in a commercial context.
The result is an entertaining film in which Florian Wirtz presents his football home in Leverkusen and also demonstrates the close connection between Bayer 04, Bayer AG and the city of Leverkusen.
Florian Wirtz is one of Leverkusen’s key players in the UEFA Europa League this season with six in three games.
