Kanssa talks about loss: We must show stronger resilience, and the goal is dedicated to the Jota brothers

In the first round of the Bundesliga, Leverkusen lost 1-2 to Hoffenheim at home, and was interviewed by the media after the game.

The situation of the match

This is a difficult game, and we had expected it. It was just a disappointment that we were at one point at the home 1-0, especially in front of our fans, we should have at least won the game. We need stronger resilience and a desire to not concede goals.

Where improvements are needed, the situation is very difficult because many new players on the team are running in, so it is difficult to find the perfect rhythm immediately in the first game. We are not at the ideal state yet, but this is not the end of the world, after all, this is the first game of the season. We have to understand that it takes time. As long as we train hard and work hard, I believe we will get better in the end.

Celebration after the goal

Honestly, it was a mixed-hearted moment, and celebrating in this way was never what I wanted, but I was glad to give this goal to Jota and his brother Andre Silva, it was a sensual moment and I was so happy to give it to them.

Next week's match against Bremen, we will do our best, hoping to correct the mistakes this weekend, we have a lot of very resilient players on our team, so I believe we will show personality and abundant energy in the next game.
