The difference became clear in the last minute. 120 seconds After Bergamos had stopped outstanding defense chief Merih Demiral with a fantastic Tackling Moussa Diaby in the penalty area of Italians, on the other side of the substitute Jeremie Boga moved almost easily to Leverkusens center-back Jonathan Tah and scored the 1-0 victory hit from an unfavorable angle.

Gasperinis conclusion: "Have earned received"
Two direct duels - two worlds, what the defense is concerned. And a document for why Atalanta earned in the quarterfinals of the Europa League and just not Bayer. After considering both games, there is no approach to speak of an unfortunate departure after 2: 3 in the first leg. The performance difference was just too big in Bergamo. Not for nothing, Atalantanta coach Gian Piero Gasperini stated: "If you look at the game in Bergamo and the first half here, we have earned."
Only in the fourth neighborhood of this Eachtelfinalduellers Bayer 04 acted over wide routes as it is used by the Werkself actually. And so the plan of Gerardo Seoane could surely start to start with a very defensive 3-5-2 and only in the last half hour with right outside Karim Bellarabi for right-back Timothy Fosu Mensah an extremely offensive for a previously purely defensive Right rail players and with Sardar Azmoun brought a striker for the midfield-strategists Kerem Demirbay this time as a tens.
We wanted to open the field until the opponent was a certain fatigue.
Gerardo Seoane
"We did not want to give open rooms from the beginning at the opponent, because they have extremely strong counterparts and a Muriel from the 60th minute does not have the same explosiveness as in the first minute. We wanted to open the field until the opponent Fatigue was there. We wanted to feel the team with this style of playing. And because we had the feeling that she implements that, we also started changing an offensive impulse to just, "the Swiss explained.
Diaby leaves two high-skilled
Seoanes Rochaden paid defensively compared to the first leg, when Bayer had escaped a debacle in the gate at the 2: 3 only with happiness and a superior Lukas Hradecky. And Bayer would have changed after the offensive switching after an hour from the subsequent pushing field superiority, several clear scoring chances and used or Moussa Diaby already used at the beginning of both game halves two large opportunities not relatively miserably forgiven, the Plan Seoanes would possibly ranked - and he would be celebrated.
Especially since Bayer-04 Managing Director Rudi Völler judged: "We played so against a top team, as you have to play after the defeat in the first leg. The chances you have, you have to use - as against Cologne."
But the Werkself did not recall the few high-arms. Why you can query the extremely defensive maintenance without a medium terminal before the break as well as the very late replacement of penalty space Lucas Alario in the 82nd minute.
Diaby's chance According to a single power Mitchchel Bakker was the only possibility of the Werkself in the first round. This had with Diaby, whose at this level was still too easily found storm partner Amine Adli and just the left rail player Bakker only three actors who threatened the depth.
Was the price for the increased stability, the Bayer paid for the first half with missing offensive seam, too high? As in the derby against Cologne (0: 1) and in Munich (1: 1) as well as in the first leg in Bergamo, the Werkself had used too long to effectively implement the adjustments made by Seoane or enforced by the opponent in the game.
In Munich, it took half an hour in which Bayern could lead to more than 1: 0. Bayer had not dominated against Cologne after the break. Before the game, Seoane had modified the Leverkusen playing way, not to play in Cologne Pressing, and deliberately accept a playful not as liquid appearance as he explained afterwards. In Bergamo, Bayer had only won more stability after an hour and the changeover from a four-fold chain. And in the second leg, the Seoane eleven was only after the break Bayer-typical storms and dominate.
Until the change in the 61th minute by the way personally in the identical occupation as in the same first half. And in this phase Bayer had the largest breakdown force through Diaby, Demirbay and Charles Aranguiz with three good possibilities throughout the 90 minutes. The remodeled with alario to an extremely offensive 3-4-3 ensured consistently high pressure, but not for a large number of goals.
Seaane complains a lack of effectiveness
In any case, purely from the result from the recent tactical cookers. Last on the lack of knockout, the Seoane lamented. "The effectiveness we often had before did not have been in the past four days," Völler said.
However, the Werkself in the recent games has not permanently enforced its playful line in the different approaches, but only through phase. Already on Sunday in Wolfsburg, the return to the usual 4-2-3-1 and the usual processes offers less on the opponents, and in which the team reaffirmed more on their own strengths in the offensive.
