Bayer Leverkusen midfielder Lars Bender delighted with Freiburg win-Bundesliga news
Bayer Leverkusen midfielder http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lars-Bender-c21663 has expressed his delight on the side’s Bundesliga win over SC Freiburg last week. He claimed that the three points in that game were very important and Leverkusen were surely relieved with
the win. However, the player admitted that the performance in the match was not very impressive and the game should have been much better.
Werkself downed http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/SC-Freiburg-c40462 at the badenova Stadium on Friday with a 1-0 score line to secure all three points. Michael Ballack scored the only goal of the match in the first-half as the visitors climbed to the eighth place on
the standings table with 17 points from 11 games played.
Bender claimed that the team plays every game to win and a victory against Freiburg was a great result and it was desperately needed. He admitted that it was not a great performance from Bayer Leverkusen but luck was on their side
and they managed to sneak a win.
The midfielder added that an early goal from http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Michael-Ballack-c25270 marked a perfect start but the game dipped continuously in the reminder of the match. However, he is still satisfied with the result and aims to improve in the next games.
“For us right now all that matters are the three points. Everything else will come later. The first time Freiburg attacked, we became nervous. An early goal should actually help calm the nerves, but it was strange how we played
after that,” he was quoted as saying in an interview.
Bender also offered his support for Michael Ballack, who suffered a broken nose in the Bundesliga match last week. He wished the former German international a speedy recovery and remained hopeful that he would return to the team
in the coming weeks.
“It doesn't look good and of course it's disappointing for him. Recently it's been clear just how important http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Michael-c25261 is for us. He's fitter than last season. In our situation we need every player and Ballack always helps us,” he
concluded.
Bayer Leverkusen will next face struggling Hamburg SV at the BayArena on Saturday in search of their sixth win of the current campaign.
