Tears at Bayer-Boss Carro: Bellingham deal that hurts!

In the current football podcast "Phrasenmäher", Fernando Carro, the managing director of Bayer Leverkusen, gives exciting insights into the past transfers and emotional moments of his club. It becomes particularly moving when Carro is overwhelmed by tears in a touch of memories of the late coach Christoph Daum. While the conversation is progressing, he tells what makes him happiest in football and what decisions still pursue him today.

A central topic is the almost transfer of Jude Bellingham. Carro confesses that he still annoys that the association could not sign this talented player. "We were very interested in him before he switched to Borussia Dortmund," reveals Carro. This happened in 2020 when Bellingham was just 16 years old. Bayer Leverkusen had the opportunity to get him for around eight million euros, but the then association Birmingham asked for twice. "Ultimately, this prevented us from what I have to regret until today," explains Carro.

The most emotional place in the podcast comes when Angelica Camm-Daum talks about the last championship that Christoph Daum was able to experience with Bayer Leverkusen. Carro remembers a speech by the trainer before an important game that was unforgettable for him. "Christoph was just happy to see the team about how it finally got to the championship," he describes. He managed to convey the joy and pride that many fans and players felt during this time.

Carro himself says: "It is the greatest luck to make people happy. Many fans have been waiting for this success for a long time." This deep connection to the fan base becomes clear in conversation when Carro explains that his motivation in football is ultimately to spread joy.

Another interesting aspect of his business is the way he includes his employees in decision -making processes. "Before a transfer is announced publicly, I always send an email to our 420 employees. I find it important to inform you in advance," said Carro. "Respect for the team is very important to me."

The podcast also provides insights into Carro's personal everyday life. He confesses that he regularly looks at Spanish and German news so as not to miss an important contribution. He particularly appreciates the sports block that he follows in the morning during breakfast, "that brings me the day."

Carro has also developed an interesting method to organize your sports analysis during the games. He says that he often uses several screens in order to be able to pursue various sporting events at the same time. "It can happen that I have the MotoGP, Bundesliga and tennis in mind at the same time. Sunday is fun!" He explains with a smile.

The stories of Fernando Carro are not only fascinating for football fans, but also show how much emotions and passionate management are combined in sport.
