The Schalke defender admitted that his side was below par against Bayern Munich and the hosts deserved all three points.
Die Knappen lost to Bayern Munich in their last Bundesliga fixture at the Allianz Arena with a 2-0 score-line. Franck Ribery scored a goal in each half to lead his side to all three points. The win takes the Bavarians to second
place on the standings table, four points behind the reigning champions, Borussia Dortmund.
Howedes claimed that his side did not create enough chances and admitted that the home side deserved to win after the way they played. He praised the likes of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arjen-Robben-c6521 and Franck Ribery for putting up a sensational performance
and stated that the hosts made it very difficult for his team.
The German international added that Schalke lost their pace after the interval and went into the defensive mode. He has called for improvement in the remaining course of the season and has insisted that his team will have to come
back strongly next week to bring the season back on track.
“We stood our ground and had the occasional chance, but the win for Bayern was the right result. Once Robben and Ribery get going, every team in the Bundesliga has problems. There’s never a good time to play Bayern. We ran out
of steam a bit in the second half, and that’s a shame,” he was quoted as saying in an interview.
On the other hand, Schalke manager, Huub Stevens claimed that Bayern were clearly the better of the two sides in the match. He added that the opposition deserved to take all three points from the game and they were more determined
and played the better football.
“We did everything we could, but we came up against a better team today. Bayern deserved to win. We started well and had chances, but we failed to use them,” he concluded.
