Bayer Leverkusen didn’t stop the negative trend – and yet the 1:1 in Berlin provided relief Lukas Hradecky is nevertheless happy about the international break.
Two insights are fact after the 1:1 at Hertha BSC: Bayer Leverkusen remain unbeaten away from home this season, but at the same time have been waiting for a win for four league games. “We are very happy with the late draw,” said Leverkusen coach Gerardo Seoane after the final whistle, adding: “Under the current circumstances, the point feels really good.”
According to Lukas Hradecky, the 1-1 draw was “definitely deserved”. On DAZN, the goalkeeper pointed out how difficult it was to make a comeback “against a defensively very solid Hertha” : “That’s why it’s really good for morale. “ When asked why the Werkself had struggled so much at the Olympiastadion, the Finn did not have a clear answer. But with a view to the bumpy turf, he said that technically skilled teams like Leverkusen “don’t have it so easy on this ground”. He also praised the Hertha team’s commitment, saying that they had played a “more man-like “ game, i.e. they had put a lot of emphasis on tackling.
Looking forward to the international break
Nevertheless, the Finn was happy about the upcoming international break. This can be used to clear the heads for a change. “We were weak in results “, the 31-year-old looked back on the past weeks and let it be known that he was looking forward to a change of air. “Even if you love each other, it’s a good thing not to see the same people all the time.
But there were also new faces at the Werkself – and they were still very fresh. In the second half, Iker Bravo celebrated his Bundesliga debut at the age of 16 years and 298 days and thus became the second-youngest Bundesliga player of all time, only to drop directly to third place in this list of best players a few minutes later. The reason: Zidan Sertdemir, 22 days younger, also celebrated his Bundesliga debut.
