VIDEO: Beautiful action! Hložek scored his first league assist

Great news! Leverkusen welcomed Wolfsburg on Saturday after two more losses on home soil. Although Patrik Schick was missing from the starting line-up, Adam Hložek appeared in the starting line-up for the first time in a while. In the first half he made his mark in the statistics.

Bayer is still struggling under the new coach. Xabi Alonso gave the team the necessary impetus in the first match when Leverkusen destroyed Schalke 4:0, but two very unpleasant losses followed.

And they were big losses. In the Champions League, the German team was defeated by Porto, who won 3-0 against Leverkusen. Then, after returning to the league, Bayer Frankfurt took another beating (5: 1).

Patrik Schick came under further criticism, even in the German media, when his teammate Kerem Demirbay spoke quite openly about him. But no one could criticize Adam Hložek too much. He practically didn’t even get time to make an impact.

However, it was different on Saturday, when he made his first appearance in the starting line-up in the league match against Wolfsburg. It’s worth noting that Schick wasn’t even on the bench in the match, officially due to injury.

And in the first half, Hložek made his mark on the stat sheet. He made only his sixth start in the starting eleven with his first Bundesliga assist, when in the 17th minute he was involved in a beautiful action in which he sent star teammate Moussa Diaby on an independent break.

It was no longer a problem for Diaby to escape the defenders and take care of the Wolfsburg goalkeeper as well. Beautiful action!
