Hamburg - When the van der Vaart show in the HSV-Arena was over, stole the Bayer professionals in their cabin. Steve Sidwell walked nicely on the black carpet, not to knock around with his cleats the ground. It was an emblematic image of innocent and honest Leverkusen, escaped last night by only one with a large fortune Lieblingsverein VfB debacle.
Let the 1:0-victory of HSV on the paper just published, actually, there was a class difference between the teams. The hosts, spurred by an outstanding "van der Vaart," showed aggression, presented in a magnificent game mood and rolled over helpless Bayer professionals will. And this caused, especially in sporting director Rudi Voeller after the final whistle for a swollen carotid artery.
"It was missing the last bite," he began his statement, "we had no aggression, we had too many breakdowns and we were much too playful. The victory of HSV was well deserved. "
Then Völler anger was directed against the national team, which yesterday enjoyed all of them a very black Monday. Both Schneider, Rolfes, Castro, and Kiessling disappointed right down the line. Nations, is one of the classics in England next Wednesday for the DFB delegation wants to go after the quartet. "I'll talk to those times. That was nothing, what they delivered. It's nice to play at Wembley. But first you should bring a good performance for Bayer. "
Just had a significant scoring chance Leverkusen header from Barnetta. What else? Nothing! Scoreless. Desolate! So it was well deserved, that the HSV import through a penalty van der Vaart the second victory in the second game. And Bayer? Including Cup bust in St. Paul for 270 minutes without a goal. Three-million shopping Theofanis Gekas been one huge disappointment. Instead of attacking the head of crash table in 14th place It does not look good for the tip Leverkusen.
