The head coach “Bayer” Xabi Alonso after the first match of the ½ finals of the Europa League against “Roma” said the outcome of the meeting was fair, but could have been different.
The match took place in Rome. Bayer won with a score of 2:0. Florian Wirtz and Robert Andrich scored goals. The return match will take place in Leverkusen on May 9.
“Maybe we could have scored more, but to be honest they could have scored too. The result could have been a little different, but it is absolutely correct. It wasn’t difficult to motivate the players. We did well when they opened. We had plenty of space and the dedication and discipline of the players was fantastic. But there is still one match to play. We’ve used this system before, especially because we have players who can play different roles. What we want depends on the match and team selection. Today the game plan was completely clear: we really played at a very high level,” Xabi Alonso told the UEFA website.
