Moussa Diaby felt as if he could fly. “Bay’Air takes off,” wrote the French winger on social media after the 6-2 (2-1) win against OGC Nice, Bayer Leverkusen’s biggest win in the Europa League. With the goal festival, Bayer got rid of the frustration of the first four Bundesliga games, in which the Werkself had only scored three goals. Bayer scored as many goals as in these 360 minutes on Thursday in nine minutes between the 79th and 87th.
Coach Peter Bosz reacted to the question of whether the knot had burst, but angry. “In my opinion, that’s all nonsense,” said the Dutchman: “It can’t be that everything is good with a game. I think it wasn’t as bad before as everyone said it was. And today not everything was as good as many say. ”Sure, he saw“ a lot of good things, ”said Bosz:“ But we mustn’t exaggerate. Not down and not up. “
But surely his team has gained confidence through the peat festival in the continuous rain against the table fourth from the country of the world champions. “I’m especially happy for the guys at the front, who were all allowed to play,” said Lars Bender, captain again in the absence of his injured successor Charles Aranguiz: “It’s good for the guys and good for us as a team. There are evenings when things just go in there. And then you make six huts. “
With national players Nadiem Amiri (11th), Lucas Alario (16th), Moussa Diaby (61st), Joker Karim Bellarabi (79th / 83rd) and youngster Florian Wirtz (87th), five different offensive players met. And Leon Bailey, who was the only one of them without a goal, was “very happy after a strong performance.” He dedicated the game to the fans, none of whom were allowed to go to the BayArena, “but it was also a great game for the team . And a very good game for me. “
And so Bayer could start with six points from four games in the league after the jerky start. The upcoming tasks like on Monday (8.30 p.m. in the FAZ live ticker for the Bundesliga and DAZN) against FC Augsburg seem solvable. And goalkeeper Lukas Hradecky had a very simple recipe ready. “The conclusion of the evening is: We just have to shoot more.”
