Bayer Leverkusen loses against Werder Bremen

There was a bewilder of the faces of the Leverkusen players when they were looking for comfort with their fans after a very dark afternoon. They had probably lost their weak football game over the past 18 months with 0: 2 against Werder Bremen.

All this devastating experience hurt-on a day when the workself would be so happy to create fresh self-confidence for the round of 16 round in the Champions League against Bayern Munich next Tuesday (9:00 p.m. in the FAZ live ticker to the Champions League and at Prime Video). However, this was only one aspect of the moderate football disaster that had occurred. In the 53rd minute, Florian Wirtz was badly fouled, replaced and taken to the hospital. And last but not least, the Werkelf missed the unexpected chance of shortening the gap to the league leader from Munich to five points. “Everything was bad today,” said coach Xabi Alonso. “I forget this day, the game was bad, my decisions were not good.” Should Wirtz fail in the round of 16 second leg against Bayern, but this image of a terribly deformed foot will get stuck. Bremen’s Mitchell Weiser had stepped onto the joint with a high level of intensity and open sole, but the red card possible in the sense of health protection got stuck in the pocket of referee Tobias Welz. The video assistant Tobias Stieler also did not intervene. “I think that’s a smooth red card,” said Jonathan Tah. “I cannot understand that the video assistant does not switch on there.” Leverkusen coach Xabi Alonso did not experience a nice Tag. Af Palonso pointed out that the dismissal of Bavaria Munich Joao Palhinha in the parallel game against Bochum was very similar, but was punished differently, while Bremen’s coach Ole Werner said: ” can leave with a yellow card. ” A more precise diagnosis and a forecast as to whether Wirtz can play on Tuesday should be available after the MRI examination carried out in the early evening, but the main cause of the defeat was not in this scene. Leverkusen did not play the football that this team under Xabi Alonso has been very reliable for about a year and a half. The trainer had consciously accepted a paralyzing wing game because Jeremie Frimpong and Alejandro Grimaldo were sitting on the bench. That Patrik Schick remained so harmless because Wirtz, his most important ball supplier, was also missing in the starting eleven. He had expected better performance anyway. “We just didn’t do it well” the many inaccuracies, this lack of self -confidence, this game flow in all parts of the team, all these symptoms of weakness had not existed in this form for many, many months. “We just didn’t do it well,” said Tah, “we lost far too many balls and have no danger at all.” Symptomatic was the development of the Bremen leadership: Lukas Hradecky clarified the ball under pressure only for a throw -in for Bremen instead of initiating his own attack. Mario Hermoso played a creepy wrong pass after the subsequent ball conquest, two plays later Romano Schmid scored 0: 1 (7th minute). Afterwards the German champion tries almost 90 minutes to get into the game somehow, but the usual dominance never emerged. At some point Emiliano Buendia came dangerously at the end (26th), there was a very good long -range shot by Exequiel Palacios (74.) and a moderately dangerous header from Tah after a corner (77th), but never the usual Leverkusen flow. “We are not used to losing twice in a row, but this is football, it is our situation,” said Alonso. The best option still had Aleix Garcia, whose free kick from 17 meters flew to the crossbar shortly before half -time. In the fourth minute of stoppage time, Justin Njinmah also scored 0: 2. “Maybe they underestimated us a bit,” said Bremen goalkeeper Michael Zetterergenau now, when the decisive course is set for the further season, Alonso apparently makes decisions that do not work as hoped. “I can also learn,” the Spaniard said before the game, but he did not draw the right conclusions again. His decision to protect Wirtz, Frimpong and Grimaldo turned out to be a mistake, and when the news from Munich in Munich announced in the second half, he had already replaced Granit Xhaka by Palacios. The Swiss chief strategist was bitterly missing when Bayer 04 tried to turn the game in the second half. Alonso’s depressed summary sounded simply as if correct: “It was a shitty day.”
