Andre Schurrle delighted with hard fought win over Valencia- UCL News
Having scored the equaliser for Bayer Leverkusen on Wednesday, striker Andre Schurrle has expressed delight at his team’s vital win over Valencia. The player criticised the team’s first half effort but went satisfied with the final result.
The Werkself hosted the Spanish outfit for the first leg of their Champions League encounter on Wednesday, October 19, at BayArena. Robin Dutt’s men emerged victorious by 2-1 margin, courtesy second half strikes from Andre Schurrle and Sidney Sam. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Jonas-c18967
scored the only goal for Valencia, coming in the 24th minute.
Both sides looked even on paper but Leverkusen certainly had the home advantage. It were Unai Emery men, who opened the scoring on the 24th minute mark in front of 30,000 Bayer fans. The hosts took longer to equalise but eventually, 52nd
minute strike from Schurrle made the score line read 1-1. Four minutes later, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Sidney-Sam-c33476, made it 2-1 in favour of the home team.
Schurrle held criticism for his side on performing poorly during the first half, which saw the Werkself squandering number of chances. The visiting side were outstanding during the initial 45 minutes, causing frustration amongst the packed crowd.
While talking to uefa.com, the German international further enthused, "If we play like we did in the first half, we couldn't even win a Sunday league game. We didn't show any aggression whatsoever, had no ideas, and didn't put any moves together.”
He concluded the talks by adding, "Our whole game was full of fear, but we can be really proud of our second-half performance. We went out onto the pitch to win tackles. With such an attitude you can win games against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Valencia-c40863. At half-time the players spoke
among each other. The coach also had a word, and then we changed the direction in which we were going."
With a win on Wednesday, the Werkself now have six points under their belt from three games and are second in Group E behind the leaders, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786.
Robin Dutt’s team are currently eighth in the Bundesliga with 14 points and will return to action on Sunday, October 23, against Schalke.
