Levin Öztunali has only been under contract with SV Werder for a few days. The 18-year-old is using the time in the training camp in Belek not only to get fit for the up-coming second half but also to get to know his teammates better. "The time here is super for that. We have been together a few days now and I am getting to know everyone better," said the new acquisition from Bayer Leverkusen. "And I have really been accepted, I have quickly found a connection."
The surroundings for the midfielder are new but he knows the location of the training camp. "Through my father, I have a connection to Turkey. We go on holidays here sometimes. Two years ago we were even in Belek. But back then it was a lot more relaxed. This time it's really intensive work," said the U19 European champion.
In addition to the many training sessions, Öztunali also has already been able to showcase himself in his first appearance for Werder. On Friday 9 January 2015, he played the full 90 minutes in the 3-2 test match win over Energie Cottbus. "Some things were good, others can still get better," he said.
But his first impression of his new surroundings was definitely positive. "We have a young, hungry group. I was really superbly accepted. Everything is super," said Öztunali at Fans fragen, Profis antworten! (Fans ask questions, players have answers)! This interactive forum has a tradition in the Werder media landscape at training camps. And once again in Belek in 2015, Werder players are taking questions from fans in Facebook - today with new addition Levin Öztunali.
