The former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/1-FSV-Mainz-05-c38166 man has expressed his disappointment on the 3-0 loss at the hands of Borussia Dortmund this past weekend.
Bayer Leverkusen suffered their second league defeat of the season when they lost to German champions Borussia Dortmund at the Signal Iduna Park on Saturday, September 15, with a 3-0 scoreline. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Jakub-Blaszczykowski-c17616
and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Robert-Lewandowski-c31255 found the net for the home side as they secured their second win of the campaign.
Andre Schurrle admitted that his side played impressively against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/SC-Freiburg-c40462 last week and was hopeful that the team would give the German champions a run for their money in the recent clash.
However, the attacker was not impressed by the team’s poor display and has called for improvement. The player admitted that the team wasted a host of opportunities and were poor defensively also.
“After a good [2-0] win against Freiburg, I thought we were on for a positive set of results. We were compact, allowed them very little room, and we played well up front. It is that sort of performance we desperately lacked against
Dortmund,” he was quoted as saying in an interview.
The German international was distraught with the result and admitted that the side deserved to lose after the way they played. Schurrle insisted that his team is well capable of taking on the likes of Dortmund and admitted that
the players were targeting to finish the Black Yellows’ unbeaten run, but the performance was simply not up to the mark.
“We were obviously disappointed [with the result]. We had done a lot of work, and wanted to break Dortmund's long run of unbeaten results, but we were poor, and against a team like that you will pay,” he concluded.
Bayer Leverkusen will next play hosts to Borussia Monchengladbach on Sunday, September 23, which will by-no-means be an easy fixture considering the quality the Foals have in their squad.
Werkself are currently 12th on the Bundesliga standings table with three points from the first three games played. They have won once and lost twice thus far in the league competition.
