The old saying goes that the championship is not decided in the direct duels against Leipzig or Dortmund. Many more relevant are the points a team loses to weaker teams. And that was not the case again today. In the end, the Werkself completely deserved to win 4:1 against valiant Heidenheim. It was an absolutely deserved victory, even if the score was 1-1 after 60 minutes.
Bayer showed today that they have enough juice at the end of the European Cup week to play forward with pressure for 90 minutes. If there is something to criticize, it is the fact that it was only 1-0 at halftime with 12-0 shots on goal. Three important points remain in the color city. Next Saturday we go to Mainz. Either we lost there outright or looked good. I'm in favor of the winning streak not breaking off next week when Mainz are in a weakening mood.
