Michal Kadlec satisfied with Bayer Leverkusen, wants more effort from teammates – UCL News
Bayer Leverkusen defender http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Racing-c40298 Genk but wants more effort from his teammates in the future. Bayer hosted the Belgian champions on Wednesday, September 28, at BayArena.
The Werkself emerged as 2-0 winners on the night, courtesy goals from http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Michael-Ballack-c25270. Bender opened the scoring in the 30th minute and Ballack secured the three points with his injury time strike.
The left back believes that his team were put under extreme pressure by the visiting Belgians, continuously attacking the home side’s goal. Kadlec was of the opinion that the Werkself were lucky to have escaped Genk’s onslaught.
The player reserved praise for the veteran midfielder, Ballack, who helped his side to their first points in Group E. The German outfit lost to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786, who are currently leading their group, in the opening game at Stamford Bridge.
While talking to local media after the game, the player further added,” At the end we were trembling, but Bernd Leno parried the header wonderfully. With http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Michael-c25261 Ballack's goal in added time, we were finally able to relax. Lars [Bender] was really happy
with his goal and I've already asked him where he got his left foot.”
He concluded his talks by saying, “It doesn't really matter who scores, though, the main thing is to win in the Champions League.”
Leverkusen, who finished the 2010/11 season as runners-up, are currently struggling in the Bundesliga with 10 points from seven games. The Werkself are 11th on the league table and will return to action on Saturday, October 1, against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/VfL-Wolfsburg-c40881.
The 26-year-old landed at BayArena in 2008 and has six goals under his belt from 85 league appearances. He earned his http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Czech-Republic-c2882 debut in 2007 and has 27 international caps to his names until now to go along with his four goals.
