Leverkusen (AP) - Bayer Leverkusen's sports director Simon Rolfes put pressure on the team before the duel with Hertha BSC on Sunday (3:30 p.m. / Sky).
After the 1: 2 defeat against Arminia Bielefeld, the current sixth of the table threatens to miss an international competition.
“The game on Sunday at Hertha BSC is extremely important for us in the battle for international places.
We want to continue towards 4th place, but we also have to look at the teams behind us, ”said Rolfes of the“ Bild ”newspaper.
The 39-year-old made it clear: "With our squad, despite the many failures, a year without Europe is inconceivable."
Football teacher Peter Bosz is now under pressure to act.
"The coach has to draw the right conclusions from the game against Bielefeld and find solutions for Berlin with the players - that is now the most important task," emphasized Bayer's sports director.
The players are also challenged.
“In a situation like this, all players have to show attitude, aggressiveness and a clear will.
The players are challenged - individually and as a team.
We expect that, »said Rolfes.
