The Bayer Leverkusen striker wants a period of calm and is confident of better results in the future games.
Werkself have had a rollercoaster season thus far and currently sit in sixth place with 34 points, 15 points adrift of the top. The club finished the last season as runners-up behind Borussia Dortmund but their displays have been
below par in the current campaign.
Schurrle claimed that the club has always been calm and consistent but things have been different in this season. He admitted that the team has not live up to expectations of the fans this year and some results have been very disappointing.
The player insisted that there have been huge expectations from the fans which has put added pressure on the players. The former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/1-FSV-Mainz-05-c38166 attacker claimed that the teams recent run of form has also disappointed many fans and things
need to be sorted out quickly otherwise the season will end in a failure.
“When I joined Leverkusen, they were regarded as a quiet club. I thought it would be very peaceful here - the complete opposite of how things currently are. That is getting on the team's nerves and it is unsettling us and the fans
are becoming unhappy too. Things need to settle down again here quickly,” he was quoted as saying in an interview.
On the other hand, manager Robin Dutt admitted that the performances need to get better. He called for improvement in the future games and stated that the supporters will panic if results do not show at a big club such as Bayer
Leverkusen.
The tactician was, however, delighted with his team’s magnificent 4-1 home win against FC Augsburg this week and is hopeful that the team’s season is back on track with the impressive victory.
“The expectations are high here and if people are not happy, then we must ask ourselves what we can do better. We are doing that and that should be assessed and nothing else,” he concluded.
Bayer Leverkusen will next face FC Koln in an away game at the RheinEnergieStadion on Saturday, February 25. Werkself will be in search of their 10th win of the current campaign.
