The Bayern Munich once again exits the German Cup (DFB-Pokal) early. Kicked out of Bayer Leverkusen last night in the direct clash in the round of 16 after having played more than an hour in numerical inferiority due to Neuer’s 17th-minute expulsion, the Bavarian team saw their first title of the season slip away due to the 1-0 defeat signed Nathan Tella.
After the match at the Allianz Arena, the Bayern Munich helmsman stopped to take stock of the negative situation following the elimination from the competition. Vincent Kompanywho spoke thus to the microphones of Sky Sports DE: “After 20 minutes we played with only ten men, but it never seemed like that. The player we lost, we recovered from the crowd. It was a match in which in our moments we should perhaps have scored a goal. team played very well, but it’s a shame, because now we’re out and we can’t change this anymore. But as the team lives, we believe we can win many games this year, but if we continue like this , we will win many titles in the future. We have to break up this behind us and from tomorrow we will start fighting again to win the next matches.”
On the red card awarded to Neuer: “The important thing is what happened next. Leverkusen obviously have a good team, last year they won the cup and league titles. And today, with ten men, we held our own. You can see a exit like this from two perspectives. Obviously negative, because I understand. The other side of the coin is that we all know: if we continue like this, I felt it And if this is not ours, we simply have to win the next”.
What is the mood of the team: “We’re hungry. We know that in the past we haven’t been perfect. That’s why every day, every match and every moment we have is a fight to show again how good we are. Today (yesterday, ed.) it’s just a shame about the result We don’t reward ourselves for the performance, but this is the reality and we have to face it. Today (yesterday, ed.) there is bitterness, but tomorrow we will only talk about the future and the next matches.”
