Bayer Leverkusen Aims for Consistency Against Bochum After Recent Struggles

Posted : 08 November 2024

Bayer Leverkusen will aim to bounce back from recent struggles when they travel to VfL Bochum on Saturday, seeking their second Bundesliga victory since September. Despite winning the domestic double last season, the defending champions have been in a slump, securing just one win from their last five league matches. As a result, they have slipped to fourth place with 16 points, seven behind leaders Bayern Munich.

 

Coach Xabi Alonso stressed the importance of maintaining focus and consistency throughout the game. He explained that improving their mentality and concentration during the full 90 minutes is key to avoiding costly mistakes. "We need to be present for the entire match," Alonso said, noting that playing well for only 80 minutes is not enough at the highest level.

 

Leverkusen's recent form includes a disappointing 4-0 defeat to Liverpool in the Champions League, where they conceded four goals after holding the English side for an hour. In the Bundesliga, they have only managed four draws and one win in their past five games, further underlining the need for a more consistent performance.

 

Bochum, currently at the bottom of the league with just one point from nine matches, will be led by new coach Dieter Hecking, who took over earlier this week. Alonso acknowledged the challenge ahead, highlighting the intensity of the game and the impact of a new manager trying to shift Bochum’s mindset. He emphasized that Leverkusen must be fully prepared, knowing that a strong performance is crucial to their success.
