After FC Bayern Munich, VfL Bochum will have the next top team on Saturday, October 2, 6:30 p.m., RB Leipzig. Captain Anthony Losilla believes there is a chance.
He has four points VfL Bochum fetched from the first six games. There was a lot of light and shadow. While Anthony Losilla and Co deservedly sent FSV Mainz 05 home 2-0 in the first Bundesliga home game in eleven years, there was also an avoidable 3-1 defeat against Hertha BSC. Then there was the 7-0 debacle at Bayern Munich. Coach Thomas Reis is not entirely satisfied with the number of points and would like “two three points more”.
Captain Losilla also suggests this notch before the away game at RB Leipzig. “Four points after six match days are definitely not enough. We can still look positively into the future, especially with regard to the previous home games. With the attitude we can get from these games, we can still get a lot of points,” said the midfielder.
VfL thrilled its fans especially against Mainz. Gerrit Holtmann’s dream solo to make it 1-0 in the meantime was even voted “Goal of the Month” for August. And in the 0-0 win against Stuttgart, VfL Bochum recently played a good game. Nevertheless, goalkeeper Manuel Riemann demanded even more galling and passion. “He’s right. At home we showed a different face than away. We were more passionate. But we still lack the gall to score goals,” noted Losilla.
RB Leipzig leaves defensive gaps
With RB Leipzig A very strong opponent is now waiting, but this season they have repeatedly revealed defensive weaknesses. Although the Red Bulls are among the top teams in the league, Losilla does not see the task as unsolvable. “I am convinced that every opponent can be beaten. It will be a tough game, however. Leipzig are a strong, unpleasant team with good counter-pressing. But you can also see that they are not yet in the flow. They make their mistakes. We have to exploit.”
That’s what Club Bruges did. The Belgians last won 2-1 in the Champions League against RB, which means that the people of Leipzig are already under a lot of pressure. The Belgians mercilessly exploited the space available. Ideally, VfL Bochum wants to do that too. “They are building a risky game. We have to take advantage of that and switch quickly. I think we have the quality and the speed,” explained Losilla. with gp
