Getting ahead in the Europa League had taken its toll. After 120 grueling minutes plus penalties a few days earlier in Monaco, Bayer coach Xabi Alonso had to weigh up carefully which professionals he should field from the start for his Leverkusen away side in Freiburg. In the end, the Spaniard made a total of four changes. Among others, Florian Wirtz initially took a seat on the bench. “We definitely have good options to make changes in the second half,” said the 41-year-old shortly before kick-off.

Since the founding of the Bundesliga in 1963, a good 6,500 players have laced their shoes in the highest German soccer class. Victories were celebrated, ties endured and defeats mourned. One player in his 60s often had to head down to the dressing room after 90 minutes. One player had the magic number of 100 defeats on his personal account of frustration particularly quickly: Stephan Paßlack, who experienced his beginnings in professional football in the jersey of FC Bayer 05 Uerdingen, needed 207 games in Germany’s elite league and is therefore number one in the kicker’s idiosyncratic all-time ranking -sports magazines.

Bundesliga table for the year 2022: Gladbach have improved in everything
2022 was definitely better than 2021: 1.5 instead of 1.32 points per game, 1.88 instead of 1.63 goals, 1.66 instead of 1.74 goals conceded, seventh instead of eleventh. But in the defensive area there is clearly room for improvement. So far the defensive performance has also prevented a better performance under the guidance of coach Farke, who averaged 1.47 points in 2022, a little less even than Hütter (1.53), who first led Borussia into the battle for relegation and from there back into stable spheres. . The task now is to continue the upward trend into the start of the new year.
It was the third consecutive loss. “This time it was not our ball losses that cost us the game, but the sloppy and weak defense, although it is actually one of the strongest in the league,” said Samet Yilmaz, player and head of the basketball department of the SC Bayer 05. Uerdingen. “Three weeks ago we set ourselves the goal of winning these three games and wintering in first or second place. We must now realize with disillusionment that we are not yet ready for such a task. We will use the break to analyze what we urgently need to do better and come up with an action plan on how we want to approach the second half of the season.” The action plan will also be drafted in view of the new season. Yilmaz sees a problem mentality in his team, the tight games are given out of hand. The balance could have been even worse, after all, the points for the sporting defeat at Maccabi Düsseldorf were awarded to the green table. Hard to imagine if you were there with a balance negative.
SC Bayer Uerdingen Indoor Sports Festival in Düsseldorf
Eleven-year-old Henry Weber from the organization SC Bayer stirred emotions in the well-attended hall. In the 800 meters in the M11 age group, after two laps he was in midfield in sixth place, 20 meters behind the leader. On the third lap, however, he increased his pace, gradually collecting those in front of him and also sprinting past Düsseldorf’s Leo Mauss, who had been leading up to that point. Weber crossed the line thinking he had won and stopped. But what he then heard was not the cheering of the spectators, but the bell for the last lap. Henry Weber had simply miscounted. He still had one lap, so another 200 meters. What happened next left even seasoned connoisseurs of athletics shaking their heads. Normally, after such a misstep, which incidentally has also happened to world-class indoor athletes, the race is almost over and the runner is mentally and physically exhausted. But not in this case. Henry Weber was soon surpassed and a crisis really had to be feared. But with incredible willpower, Uerdinger held on to his opponent and actually managed to finish this 800m race, which he had already won and then thought he was going to lose again, in 2:41.94 minutes as winner. Weber had already won over 50 meters in 7.67 seconds and in the long jump with 4.85 meters.
