Draw at Wolfsburg is not a disappointment

In contrast to some media, I am of the opinion that the draw at the Wolves is not a disappointment. "Bayer lets series snap" is the rather negative headline at ntv. The kicker comments rather soberly: "Leverkusen keeps Wolfsburg at a distance". Sure, it was a rather tough game late on Sunday evening. And the old soccer rule is: If you play to zero at the back, then you can't lose.

With the quarterfinal second leg at Union Saint-Gilloise in the Europa League coming up on Thursday, Xabi Alonso spared some regulars. Jonathan Tah was not in the starting eleven, nor were Florian Wirtz, Amine Adli or the recently injured Exequiel Palacios. Instead, Nadiem Amiri, Kerem Demirbay, Sardar Azmoun and Adam Hlozek started from the beginning. A correct decision, in my opinion.

We took home a point, everything is still possible in the Bundesliga, especially since the other teams aren't exactly pulling up trees either, and now the focus is on Thursday. And then we'll see what we can expect against Leipzig at home and at Union.
