Bundesliga captain frustrated after poor start: "What do we play?" | OneFootball

The false start after the winter break is complete! Before Christmas, Bayer Leverkusen was still in third place in the Bundesliga, but within three matchdays, they plummeted to sixth place. 

A 1:4 defeat against VfB and a 0:1 loss at TSG Hoffenheim is the record after the restart. Although the Werkself still has one game less due to the postponed match against Hamburger SV, captain Robert Andrich was clear after the defeat in Sinsheim.

"Of course, there are situations where we as a team have to be clear: What do we want to play—and how do we want to approach the games? It doesn't help if four people are playing one way and three people another. Then you can't win anything," he said in an interview with 'ZDF'. 

Coach Kasper Hjulmand is now challenged to ensure that everyone pulls together again in the future. So that the upcoming packed weeks don't go wrong for Leverkusen.
