Hoffenheim recovers after Besiktas defeat

In the second round of the UEFA Europa League, Hoffenheim hosted Besiktas and lost 3-2. A quick response followed in Germany against the poor run of form. The team won 2-1 away at Monchengladbach in the Bundesliga.

Hoffenheim won in Europe a week later as well. The French side Lyon was beaten 3-0 at home. Yesterday, the team also won 3-0 against Leverkusen at home in the Bundesliga.

In the first five league matchdays, Hoffenheim collected one win and four defeats before the Besiktas game, and their climb began after it. The team's consecutive high-scoring wins drew attention. During this period, the attitude of head coach Christian Ilzer after the match was also discussed.

The experienced coach gathered his players on the pitch after the Besiktas match without heading to the dressing room. He gave his students a harsh speech. The team is said to have taken off after this talk.
