Leverkusen (AP) - coach Peter Bosz from Bundesliga soccer team Bayer Leverkusen does not gloss over anything after the partially embarrassing end in both cup competitions.

«It is clear that we are in a difficult phase.

And that's still understatement, ”said Bosz on the morning after the second round in the Europa League due to the 2-0 home defeat against the Swiss double winner Young Boys Bern.

«The shock hadn't been processed this morning.

That's why we took the time to talk, "reported the Dutchman:" Now we have to tick it off and concentrate on the Bundesliga.

This is the competition in which we can still achieve something. "

The Dutchman absolutely believes in qualifying for the Champions League despite currently being five points behind.

Five points are still feasible. "

Bosz is allegedly not worried about his own future.

“There's no point in worrying,” he said: “My job is to help the team and to support them so that they can turn it around.

My aim is to help the team, to support them in turning it.

Is a huge challenge. "

A decision on whether Niklas Lomb will be in goal in the league game on Sunday (6 p.m. / Sky) against SC Freiburg or U21 national goalkeeper Lennart Grill will get a chance, according to Bosz, despite two fatal mistakes in the last two games «Not yet liked.
