Captain Manuel Neuer of Bayern Munich wobbling after losing to Lazio
Manuel Neuer was undone by Ciro Immobile’s perfect penalty, which proved to be the lone goal scored in Lazio’s 1-0 victory over the Bavarians.
The days of making excuses are passed, in Neuer’s view. Players need to take responsibility for the team’s recent results, according to the captain.
“We bear accountability.” On the pitch, we are the players. Here in Rome, we have a Champions League away match. You are able to stand on the largest stage here. According to Neuer (as filmed by @iMiaSanMia), motivation must always be at 100%.
But specifically what is faulty? Diagnosing that is more difficult.
“At this time, our game lacks ease of use,” Neuer continued. We anticipated difficulty. Nonetheless, I thought the first half was passable and we had good scoring opportunities. It is, of course, our fault that we began the second half in that manner. We own up to that. Without a doubt, we need to touch the wound. You sense the unpredictability. We’re still making an effort to stay together. We must strive to perform to the best of our abilities in the upcoming away game in Bochum.
We must experience accomplishment as soon as possible. We require happy feelings. After we win, perhaps things will improve soon. Naturally, it’s challenging to put it in words right now.
It’s easy to question whether head coach Thomas Tuchel’s message is still getting through to the team, even though Neuer is right in saying that the players are the ones who aren’t performing up to par on the pitch.
There is no doubt about that. Success is the finest remedy. Against VfL Bochum this weekend, Neuer and the guys will undoubtedly be aiming for victory.
