Seoanes Challenge - not only with Diabys Discipline

The 2021-- 22 Bundesliga is the 59th period of the Bundesliga, Germany's top football competition. It started on 13 August 2021 and also will conclude on 14 May 2022. The components were announced on 25 June 2021. Bayern Munich are the nine-time protecting champions.

Again a 2-0 played. After the 2: 5 in Frankfurt, it was now against Cofferdam only to a 2: 2. The next disappointment, for which the Leverkusen players made permanence (goalkeeper Lukas Radetzky) and mental weakness (medium-term Patrick Schick).

But Gerardo Sloane does not look at the same causes despite the parallels. This time it's a different story, argues the coach, both goals were individual mistakes. That's not necessarily a mental story. Much more that we have given the note of the trade from minute to minute.

A problem that the 43-year-old less frustrated as spurred. Me motivates this challenge to bring the team there, explains the Swiss, that they manage to take a lead over time despite this offensive crowd.

What consequence in Bayer's defensive work would be the prerequisite. But these have now recognized the opponents as an opportunity, as Cofferdam's Angelo Stiller explained after the 2: 2 bluntly: They play very, very good football. Really very nice to look at. But we also knew that they are defensively make a step less defensively, We wanted to take advantage of it. Although Bayer acted from the beginning from a more defensive basic order, was missing as in Frankfurt, as after the break, the teams of people disrupted and broke the team defensively, also against Cofferdam in the second section and especially at the end of the last Leverkusen resistance.

Mousse Diary plays a significant role here. The flow values ​​of the attacker are well below those of his colleagues. Against Cofferdam he ripped only 9.67 kilometers. For comparison: Wing-door colleague Karim Bellcrank, who also took a slightly defensive part, ran 12.24 kilometers. Even midstorm Patrick Schick came to 10.80 kilometers.

As a reminder, at the end of the past season, Diary had lost his place under Interim Trainer Hannes Wolf, because he was not sufficient for the defensive work of the French. And this is not the only point in which the offensively so gifted diary misses the discipline.

Sloane about Diary: That's a few cards too much

The left foot, which was the 1-0 prepared with a precise flank and was an asset, had in the first half of luck that his wiper against the head of Cofferdam Sebastian Rudy was not punished as a blow and thus as an opportunity. So the national player looked only his eight yellow card at this moment. What a wing sprayer after 15 seasonal inserts represents an unacceptably high value. This is a point that Mousse has to improve, Senate, That's a few cards too much.

The fact that the 23-year-old still picked up a completely superfluous traffic light card confirms the coach's assessment. Of course he did not help us at that moment, even though only three, four minutes to play, criticizes Sloane, who also expects development in this regard: He is a young player who has great qualities, also often only by fouls is braked. That's normal. With this frustration, he has to be able to handle. He has to improve in the area of ​​tolerance.

How does the total statics develop without diary?

In Freiburg, the turbo dribbler will be missed for the second time in this season. In view of Diary's offensive benefits, a Herbert loss. Conversely, so on Sundays will possibly show what role the non-optimal backward movement for the entire stability does not play.

Tapioca has can be blessed on the page

But everything alone at Diary would be unjust. Obviously, in the recent two games, the problems in the defense center, in which Jonathan TAH in the stuffing device and particularly Edmond Tapioca in both games, were a bad figure. The so strong defender in his first one and a half years at Bayer are still looking for a long injury break the Konstanz in his game.

Acute to the game-strong central defender to often make lightweight ball losses or miscarries. Against Cofferdam he looked bad before 2: 2. Since he has begged on the side, Sloane stuck. Tapioca could be a pause good. However, Dillon Kossounou last delivered a letter of application in the Europa League in Budapest, also allowed himself weaknesses. Even if the Scorer against Cofferdam as a right-back for the yellow-locked Jamie Crimping completed his job satisfactorily, he will not appear against well-pressing Beefburgers than the necessary gambling solution.

India on left, sink graven in the team?

Wanted to change Sloane, would probably be more of the Piero Since currently acting as left-back Piero Since the appropriate candidate, for which Daley Sink graven could occupy the left side of the defense. Leverkusen coach has indeed not only edit the mental construction site.
