Bayer Leverkusen no longer has his destiny in his hands. After conceding the draw against Sankt Pauli (1-1) this Sunday in the Bundesliga, the Werkself is a delay of eight points on Bayern Munich, at the top of the ranking.
Four days from the end of the championship, Xabi Alonso, the manager of Pillendreher, has little illusions. The chances of keeping the title are seriously annoyed. Hence a measured speech of Spanish, which has confined itself to recalling that its players will remain concentrated until the end, whatever happens.
Bayer must remain concentrated
“Mathematically, it's not over, but we know that there is little chance of turning the situation. We have conceded too many zero matches this season. It is regrettable because we have lost very little. We must be realistic. But the season we have had so far is not over for everyone. We have to stay professional and prepare for each match until the end, as always. This is not the end of the season “said the Basque tactician in front of journalists.
Before closing the exercise, the Rhénan club will receive Augsburg next Saturday, then went to Friborg on May 4. Xabi Alonso players will also have to challenge Borussia Dortmund at home on May 11, before completing their calendar by a last trip to Mainz on May 17.
