Patrik Schick has opened the Bundesliga season with a goal on every matchday, giving Bayer Leverkusen a reliable focal point in attack under new coach Carles Martinez.
Key takeaways
- Schick is level at the top of the Bundesliga scoring chart on four goals.
- He is the only player to have scored in each league round so far this season.
- Michael Olise, Younes Ebnoutalib, Yuito Suzuki and Phillip Tietz are also on four goals.
- Martinez has played an important part in Schick’s strong opening run.
Schick sets the early pace
Leverkusen’s central striker has combined output with consistency in the opening weeks. His four goals place him alongside Bayern Munich’s Olise, Eintracht Frankfurt forward Ebnoutalib, Freiburg’s Suzuki and Mainz striker Tietz.
Schick alone has found the net in every Bundesliga fixture to date. The sequence has underlined a changed start to the campaign for the Czech forward, who has become a prominent figure for Bayer supporters.
Martinez influence
The work of new Leverkusen coach Carles Martinez is a significant factor behind Schick’s form. There are further reasons for the striker’s scoring streak, but Martinez has had a decisive influence on the forward’s productive beginning to the season.
