Captain makes promise to coach

Bayer Leverkusen's Simon Rolfes has promised to repay the support that coach Jupp Heynckes has given him, in the future. Rolfes, who had a delayed start to the season after suffering a long-term injury that ruled him out of the World Cup, returned to action on the weekend, scoring twice and setting up another. The Leverkusen captain thanked his coach for all of his assistance and support in what was a difficult period, and vowed to repay him. "I am fully trusting in Jupp Heynckes, 100 percent," Rolfes said. "He has given me good support for such a long time now, and is always there to help me too. "There will be nothing different coming from me, if Jupp Heynckes ever needs me. "I am really enjoying myself again."
