Flekken Complains About Sloppy Leverkusen Players - Bayer Leverkusen's Unbeaten Away Streak Hits 37 After Narrow Win Over Mainz
Bayer Leverkusen secured a 3-1 away win against Mainz, extending their Premier League record to 37 consecutive away games without defeat. Alejandro Grimaldo (11th/penalty and 45+3), Christian Koffane (24th), and Martin Terrier (87th) found the net for Leverkusen.
The victory was not without its flaws, according to goalkeeper Mark Flekken. He described Leverkusen's performance as mixed, suggesting they could have scored more goals. Flekken highlighted the need for greater concentration and discipline in their upcoming Champions League clash against Paris Saint-Germain. He noted that the team's 'laxity' in the game against Mainz, which led to conceding goals, must be avoided in the more demanding Champions League context. Flekken also emphasized the need for a different performance and more frustration tolerance against PSG. He criticized his teammates for being complacent after their 4-3 win against Mainz, stressing the importance of maintaining a high level of focus and determination in their upcoming match.
Despite the win, Leverkusen's goalkeeper Mark Flekken has called for improvement ahead of their Champions League encounter with Paris Saint-Germain. The team must tighten their defence and increase their intensity to secure a positive result against the formidable French side.
