Leverkusen disappoints again: draw against Bochum hurts a lot!

Drama in Bochum: Bayer Leverkusen fails again!

In a thrilling duel against bottom-placed Bochum, Bayer Leverkusen once again dropped points! After a 1-0 lead, the Werkself had to settle for a disappointing 1-1 draw. Coach Xabi Alonso's team had the game under control for a long time, but as so often this season, they failed to close the bag. “We let the stadium live,” complained goalkeeper Lukas Hradecky about the missed opportunities and the inadequate defense.

The record against the league's underdogs is alarming: Leverkusen has already failed against newly promoted Kiel and Bremen this season, and now also in Bochum. Hradecky sums it up: “It definitely doesn’t mark a top team if you don’t win games like that.” While Bayern triumphed in similar encounters with impressive results such as 6-1 and 5-0, Leverkusen fell short of expectations and now find themselves nine points behind.

Hradecky about the current situation

“At the moment that is the difference between Bayern and us,” continued Hradecky. Bayern have beaten their opponents with a dominance that Leverkusen has sorely lacked this season. After the draw in Bochum, the keeper feels frustrated: “It’s a bitter blow and another bad timing before the international break.” While Hradecky travels to the Finnish national team with mixed feelings, the question remains: How can Bayer Leverkusen get out of this slump? Time is running out and fans are waiting for a turnaround!
